Revision as of 11:26, 7 April 2008

Got the king tonight. Unsure of the trigger; had missed two prior dwarf caravans due to sieges. Had population 37 and fortress value about 1.3 million when he arrived. His fellow immigrants raised the population to 63 immediately afterward. My first wiki page, let me know what I did wrong :) Doctorlucky 04:29, 15 November 2007 (EST)

I had him arrive under similar conditions recently: Population of around 40, high overall fortress value(~6 million) and three past sieges.Killtheimpostor! 19:53, 15 November 2007 (EST)
Have either of you reached adamantine? -- Zaratustra 20:33, 15 November 2007 (EST)
I had only my 7 dwarves when i reached adamantine by sheer dumb luck, and then the king arrived with 22 immigrants. Adamantine has to have something to do with it. abattur
There was some discussion elsewhere, and apparently the 'King arrives dressed as a peasant' in previous versions meant you'd found adamantine but not met other criteria of having the king arrive. And yes, I had found adamantine. So once we figure out the criteria for a non-adamantine visit, we should redo and expand the page. And never demean the value of pure dumb luck! Doctorlucky 02:23, 16 November 2007 (EST)

I never understood what the dressed as a peasent thing refers to. Is he not the king at first? Or does he simply arrive with poor clothing and then immediately get the best clothing from the fort? --DDouble 11:34, 16 November 2007 (EST)

maybe he is trying to sneak into the fortress? --Fedaykin 13:53, 16 November 2007 (EST)
Maybe he's embarrassed to move to a fort that doesn't meet royal standards (as perceived by The People(TM)), but he knows it'll soon be filthy rich with all that adamantine? -EarthquakeDamage 14:46, 16 November 2007 (EST)

I'm at 1.5M Created Wealth, 337k imported, 116k exported, 165 population, and 23,000 silver coins. The baroness has turned into the duchess, and I have a new noble: "The Incoming King". When I get details of him, it mentions how much archecture I have vs needed (Desired 10k, Current: 101k), Road Value (7.5k vs 280), and Offerings (5000 vs 0). Presumably the Offerings are to the Dwarven caravan. Road value seems easy to get up, each glass square is worth 40 bucks. KiTA 21:50, 18 November 2007 (EST)

I'm at 317K created wealth, 283k imported, 61k exported, 146 population, no coins. We recently turned into a duchy and now have "The Incoming King" as well. He wants 15k architecture (we have 108k), 5k road (we have 1182), and 5k offerings (We have 0). Breakdown of created wealth: 9.6k weapons, 0 armor and garb, 45k furniture, 130k other objects, 111k architecture, 19k displayed, 9.9k held/worn. --SL 10:51, 20 November 2007 (EST)

What happens when you get the king and abandon your fort? --Jackard 03:35, 22 November 2007 (EST)

Your fort shows up as the "Mountainhome" for the civ when you find it in adventure mode. When asking people of that civ about the capital, they say "There is no capital." --Rabek 03:04, 1 February 2008 (EST)

Just to confirm how this works: Once you get promoted to a Duchy, you must meet the three requirements given by the Incoming King noble. Road value, Architecture value and Offerings (to dwarven caravans). The offering takes a while to get to the king, but once the requirements are met, you should get a king in the next wave of immigrants. --Starfisher 18:07, 12 December 2007 (EST)


So if, uh, totally hypothetically, my King went Stark Raving Mad due to his room not being up to snuff and died naked and thirsty, will I ever get another King? Viper1969 14:42, 17 January 2008 (EST)

Accompaning Nobles

Who arrives with the king other than the Advisor? Who oth

I did not get an advisor with my Queen. Although she came with the discovery of adamantine. --Mitchy 08:17, 17 January 2008 (EST)
A consort, like most nobles... about four Royal guards, if I remember properly... and an assortment of peasants. Only peasants. I'm assuming they're all spouses of the guards/king/advisor/consort, but I'm too lazy to really look into that. Rabek 03:02, 1 February 2008 (EST)

Addy King

(Moved from article page --Edward 17:56, 31 January 2008 (EST))
From my experience so far, he's not made a single demand what so ever (other than his room, etc). Admittedly it hasn't been that long (4th year of the fort, King was 1st immigrant), but I've had time to mine every tile of addy on the map that's safe to dig (and then a couple). Bonus? Bug? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Draco18s (talkcontribs)

Do I want this guy?

im ALMOST at the requirements to get the king. But the nobles i have are already anoying enough, why do i want this king? --Wafl

erg. *shudders at the grammar*
AFAIK, the king serves no purpose other than to challenge you. So, no. --Savok 18:39, 5 February 2008 (EST)
Every times I get a king (adamantine king actually), the dwarven liaison won't come any longer.
Quite anoying on fortresses relying on an external source of flux. --Yag

King Vs Population Cap

I'm at my population cap (actually just over due to births). I've meet all the requirements for the Incoming King. Will he still come? Yvain 02:40, 6 April 2008 (EDT)

He came with a few regular immigrants, several guards and a consort pushing my population past 210. Yvain 07:26, 7 April 2008 (EDT)
