baron/count/duke requirements[edit]

I believe that the holdings are no longer a requirement for baron/count in the steam version, as with 0 holdings attached I have gained the Baron and Count position. Baron first appeared the year after I got a mayor - might be population based now? Not sure on exact numbers, is there someone who knows and can modify this, or someone who can look into and find out this info? Castaras (talk) 11:54, 5 January 2023 (UTC)

Anybody had a bug when you cannot select a certain dwarf as an appointable noble? (champion, messenger, chief medical dwarf, etc) I have an issue with one dwarf not appearing in the list, despite being completely normal.

Yes, check the page [advanced noble mechanics]

Introductory paragraph style[edit]

The introductory section doesn't have a D for Dwarf disclaimer and uses casual style and imprecise technical language. It's a little too light on gameplay advice and a little too happy on the "unfortunate accident" jokes that started in the 2D version, are less relevant due to the larger map volume. Current version nobility are really bad to unfortunate accident, because of how succession works for civilization-level positions. The "noble" descriptor only appears in-game under a creature with menial labor exemption, I believe. It should be updated to call them administrators, both kinds are just called positions under the hood. DPhKraken (talk) 09:31, 1 February 2024 (UTC)

...The disclaimer issue, at least, has been fixed - the other stuff is out of scope for me. Silverwing235 (talk) 11:25, 1 February 2024 (UTC)

Thank you, I'm going to work on rewriting the section into a more formal style. The classic namespaces of the page should be unaffected. DPhKraken (talk) 18:08, 1 February 2024 (UTC)
