You will need to reach a certain architectural {{l|value}}, {{l|road}} value (whether from paved roads or {{l|bridge}}s), and {{l|Trading|offerings}} required (to the dwarven civ's merchants) for the King to arrive. The values needed for each vary from fort to fort, but can be viewed by examining 'The Incoming King' on the nobles screen. Offerings to merchants must actually reach the king: the merchants must make it safely off the map with your offerings. |

In these cases your liason may be of another race other than dwarf and when the king arrives, he will also be of that race. All other nobles that come will still be dwarves. Non-dwarven kings make no room demands, and they do not move into your fortress, instead hanging out at the edge of the map where they first arrived. In the unit list, they appear as "Friendly", and they do not appear on your {{L|Nobles screen}}. The length of their reign is usually limited to the next {{L|siege}} unless you take measures to protect them. |
