40d Talk:Baron

I've had a Baron (and Hammerer and Tax Collector) arrive when my population was exactly 80 and when my population was capped in the init.txt file at 80. I'm confident that the requirement of 100 people is wrong. Bouchart 13:07, 12 December 2007 (EST)

Likewise, my current fortress has 134 people and 1.5M in created wealth, but no baron. I'm reasonably certain this must be some sort of weighted random arrival. --Sebbekai 18:22, 6 January 2008 (EST)

2.5 Millon wealth, 232 dwarfs, 4K exported wealth. Last year I did all the jobs required, certain of that. I can only think its my exported wealth. I'm guna try raising it to just over 10K, do the jobs again and wait. Think this should be added to the wiki page, give a rough estimate of the number if i do get a migrant baron next year. (My populatin cap is 400 at the moment)--cultiststeve 16:16, 9 February 2009 (EST)

Oops, I killed the consort

The consort was making mandates I could not satisfy, so he had to go. This has caused some kind of problem though... my fortress will not upgrade to a county so I can get the king. I am considering killing my baroness as well, and attempting to reset the whole situation. Any suggestions? --Wafl 01:15, 17 April 2008 (EDT)

Kiilll them! Kiiilll them! Kiiilllll them alllll! --Savok 09:52, 30 May 2008 (EDT)

Hammerer and tax collector

Do the hammerer and tax collector always arrive along with the Baron? --Strangething 18:26, 8 July 2008 (EDT)

I Don't think that its Always the case but it seems to frequently be the case for me; all of my forts that I allow nobles they tend to show up together. --Silver

I suspect that some are prerequisite for the others, i.e. would a baron ever show up at a fort that didn't have a tax collector? --Corona688 00:38, 23 December 2008 (EST)

They do come at the same time. Heck, my baron appeared first, even. But no, I think that the article has it correct.--Destor 19:47, 24 December 2008 (EST)

Peasant King

I got the King as a peasant due to discovering Adamantine. I don't appear to be getting a Baron, tax collector, hammerer or a royal guard. Is this a bug? -Rushyo 21:54, 28 July 2008 (EDT)

The peasant king happens independently of other nobles in my experience. HeWhoIsPale 09:58, 11 November 2008 (EST)

Minimum Exported Wealth?

Im pretty sure there's gotta be a Minimum exported wealth for the baron to arrive, I satisfy all the other conditions, and have over 1.6 million created wealth, 163 dwarves, and my dwarves do well over the job requirements. However, I as of now, only have 30426 Exported wealth. --OmegaX 16:13, 16 September 2008 (EDT)

Duke arrived at 32435 exported wealth. No baron yet. --OmegaX 00:37, 17 September 2008 (EDT)

That's because the Duke is an 'upgraded' version of the count, which is an 'upgraded' version of the baron. Once you have a Duke, you won't ever get a Baron. Spoggerific 17:31, 17 September 2008 (EDT)

Once my exported wealth topped 10k I got the Baroness the next migrant season. I was down at 8k exported for about 3 years and had at least that many migrant waves without a baron during the same time. 17th of Slate in the year 308, population 139 (not counting the new tax collector thats just on the edge of the map), 1,912,970 created wealth, 235,635 imported, 11,558 exported. I've also traded with a group of Elves but they hadn't left the map by the time the migrants arrived and it only put my exported wealth to 11,958. Lando242 11:38, 3 January 2009 (EST)

share rooms?

does the baron and his consort share a room? or do I need to make an extra pair of tombs/dining rooms/bedrooms? --Destor 17:14, 10 November 2008 (EST)

Yup, consorts demand all their own rooms, and neither will be happy if you try to cram them together. The only room that doesn't need to be doubled up is the office/throne room, since the Consort doesn't conduct diplomacy. --Navian 21:41, 10 November 2008 (EST)

Incorrect Baron Prerequisites?

I just got a Baron, Tax Collector, and Hammerer and have never done a single metal crafting job. I did, however, Cage Trap a Titan in the previous month though. The quote from Toady One at the bottom of the Baron page would appear to be in error in this case. -- unseenmage 14 January 2009

I think you are misunderstanding the quote. There are a variety of categories, and you must have done the required number of jobs for 4 of those categories. Nothing requires you to have specifically done metal crafting jobs (which would only count towards 'metal related' if you did do some). --Squirrelloid 10:33, 14 January 2009 (EST)

Merging

I would like to suggest the merging of Baron, Count and Duke. Manager and his upgrades only use one page. Each is only a minor upgrade from another and has no vastly different requirements. It would make it easier to view them as they are all connected. Anyone agree/disagree?--cultiststeve 06:38, 14 February 2009 (EST)

Sounds good to me--Solarshado 10:48, 14 February 2009 (EST)
