40d Talk:King

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!

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)
