This article is about an older version of DF. |
Nobles are good for nothing piles of turd Template:L that do pretty much nothing, except for demanding everything have "special duties" in addition to or instead of the duties of normal dwarves. Some nobles also have various privileges that normal dwarves do not, and will demand certain accommodations, like a Template:L.
Settings specific to each noble can be set on the Template:L, accessible via the n key.
Appointed Nobles
These are nobles that rise from your body of existing dwarves. With the exception of the Template:L, you can appoint or replace any at any time through the nobles & administrators screen.
See main articles for more information in all cases.
Template:L
- Listens to the complaints of other dwarves to make them happier. Uses Template:Ls. Needs an Template:L in order to meet with outpost Template:Ls. It is not possible to reassign this post – at least while the original holder of the title remains alive. Your initial expedition leader is automatically chosen for you before the game Template:L based largely on Template:L skills. A starting dwarf given just Template:L level in Template:L is usually selected for this job, and additional, similar skills almost ensure it 100%.
You can only appoint a new Expedition Leader if your original is slain. If you do not choose a new one, a random dwarf will be semi-randomly selected for the job after about half a season.
-
- Automatically promoted from expedition leader at 50 dwarves. Unlike the expedition leader, he requires decent housing and will make Template:Ls. The position of mayor is up for election every couple of years, but the existing mayor can be re-elected. This election is apparently influenced heavily by the number of Template:Ls your dwarfs have at the time of the election, and can sometimes result in non-optimal selections (mayors with no appropriate skills whatsoever elected over well-qualified candidates), but the process is not completely understood (just like the real world!).
Template:L
- Utilizes the Template:L skill and Template:Ls. Is the person you send to the Template:L to do your Template:L. Lets you see the imported/exported wealth of your fortress.
- Broker changes title according to the status of your Template:L.
Template:L
- Utilizes the Template:L skill. Allows the use of item build queues through the jobs -> manager screen. Will need an office to do this (validating work orders) once your fortress has twenty dwarves.
- Changes title according to the status of your Template:L.
Template:L
- Utilizes the record keeper skill. Lets you see the stocks of your fortress. Needs to do occasional jobs in an office of their own if you want precise stock keeping: otherwise, stock numbers will only be precise to one significant figure (e.g., 7163 -> 7000, 7823 -> 8000).
- Upgrades to Template:L at 100,000 fortress wealth.
- Further upgrades to Template:L at 200,000 fortress wealth.
- Further upgrades to Template:L at 300,000 fortress wealth.
The same Template:L can be used to both take stock and to approve work orders, for both the bookkeeper and the manager, early it is fine to have these two responsibilities shared by the same dwarf, saving on real estate and decorating costs in the early game. Later though as your fort increases you may want to separate them so bookkeeping isn't taking your manager's time.
Template:L
- You may choose a dwarf to become the Sheriff after your fortress reaches a population of 20.
- Captain of the guard: Promoted from the sheriff once you reach 50 dwarves, along with the Template:L. Activates Template:L.
Immigrant Nobles
These nobles appear in Template:L waves and can never be appointed or replaced* by the player.
- (* unless the player arranges for an Template:L.)
See main articles for more information in all cases.

Room Requirements
The nobles require various rooms assigned to them. If you're running out of time and your noble is starting to get angry, here are some tips on increasing the value of the room quickly. As a quick reference, here is a summary of those rooms:
Noble | Quarters | Dining Room | Office | Tomb |
---|---|---|---|---|
Advisor | Great Bedroom | Great Dining Room | Throne Room | — |
Baron(ess) | Decent Bedroom | Decent Dining Room | Decent Office | Tomb |
Baron(ess)'s consort | Decent Bedroom | Decent Dining Room | — | Tomb |

Broker | — | — | — | — |
Sheriff | Modest Quarters | Modest Dining Room | Modest Office | — |

Meager Offices
The easiest way to give dwarves a meager office is simply to assign them a single seat in your communal dining room, making the designated "office" 1-tile large.
Noble Spouses
It may be worth assigning an empty noble position to the spouse of another noble, so that they'll share the grand bedroom and then you don't have to build one for each.
