− | '''Nobles | + | '''Nobles''' are <s>snotty, good-for-nothing parasites</s> [[Dwarf|dwarves]] elevated to a position of "rule" over your fortress. They provide a critical happiness bonus to unhappy and [[stress]]ed dwarves, who will yell at or cry on the nobles, and are also responsible for interacting with [[outpost liaison]]s. Nobles who can perform a useful, specific task or duty unique to their position, such as [[Manager|managing work orders]], [[Broker|trading with merchants]] or [[Militia commander|commanding military positions]], are conjecturally known as '''utility nobles'''. Certain nobles are automatically elected by your fortress's citizenry, rising to ranks mostly outside of the player's control, while others (the aforesaid utility nobles, mostly) can be directly appointed by the player, and can be promoted, demoted and replaced at any time. |
− | Certain | + | Certain higher-rank nobles can make [[demand]]s and set [[mandate]]s, which, if not met, will upset the noble and result in punishments for your dwarves if the fortress has an active [[justice]] system. They are also well-aware of their social statuses and often want expensive, well-furnished [[room]]s and other personal goodies, such as [[cabinet]]s and [[armor stand]]s, and some of them are envious bastards and do not want a lesser dwarf to have a better room than them. If a noble is too much of a problem and cannot be fired, it may be possible to arrange an [[unfortunate accident]] for them. Be careful, though, the death of a noble, especially a popular one like a [[mayor]], may cause unhappy thoughts and stress among the general populace, and the replacement noble may be ''even worse''. Furthermore, a fortress lacking a noble ruler (such as a [[mayor]]) may be temporarily unable to appoint new nobles manually, including utility nobles, until a new dwarf takes office. |
− | + | It is possible for some of your dwarves to hold noble titles over other parts of the dwarven kingdom. These dwarves are still capable of issuing mandates in your fort, however, and demand the same sort of privileged treatment as any other non-utility noble. There is no benefit to having multiple of the same noble in the same fortress (except for [[militia captain]]s), so in the event you happen to have multiple [[baron]]s or similar, it is more productive to [[unfortunate accident|remove]] the noble whose title is not linked to your fortress in order to avoid the unnecessary hassle with mandates and demands. Note that nobles, whether elected or appointed, cannot be peacefully [[Emigration|exiled]], as they are presumably in charge of emigration orders in the first place. | |
− | + | [[Human]]s, [[Elf|elves]] and [[goblin]]s have nobles of their own, with some of the positions of their [[civilization]]s being exclusive to them, such as human law-makers and elven [[druid]]s. While civilized, [[kobold]]s and subterranean [[animal people]] have no nobles. | |
