40d Talk:Leader

From Dwarf Fortress Wiki
Jump to navigation Jump to search

As per the discussion on the "Expedition leader" page, I've combined that page and "Mayor", to combine the many elements the two have in common. Those who wish to see the back-history of edits for this topic are suggested to seek them there, separately.

I chose to combine the two under "Leader" as opposed to either one or the other because neither seemed like a perfect umbrella for the other, while "Leader" is the commonly used term, and one that makes the most sense to me - a relative measurement. No perfect solution, but this is my "best compromise".

If I could have, I would have put the "duties in common" subsection first (or last), but due to the short sub-sections and the long side-bars, either of those configurations would destroy the formatting - they overlap and line up partially side by side, crush the lower sub-section, and it's a disaster either way.

I'm sure that now that they're together and in the spotlight, errours will be noticed - fire away. I have no confidence in a good deal of what I copied/pasted.--Albedo 08:12, 14 May 2009 (UTC)


In Adventure Mode, I've had a difficult time trying to find mayors in any of the pre-fab settlements on the map. The best I've been able to do is a Dwarven king and a Dwarven mayor, on two different maps, and neither of them had a quest. --FJH 16:46, 13 July 2009 (UTC)

Often the mayors are also legendary in some weapon skill and will display as Human Axelord/Pikemaster/Master Lasher/etc instead of 'Mayor' so if you see any of those characters upstairs in the tavern/town hall ask them for quests, they should have some. --Dapanman 22:20, 12 August 2009 (UTC)

That is, with humans. The dwarves hide their leaders in impossible to find locations.Shardok 22:41, 12 August 2009 (UTC)
