v0.31 Talk:Baron

I definitely got a Baron at 55 population, 60 may be a bit high? --Nobu 21:09, 10 April 2010 (UTC)

I have 113 population and nearly a million of created wealth, but no Baron. I don't have any imported wealth though (I made a living for my fortress robbing caravans), so maybe it's required also required.

In the old version, you had to export a certain amount of wealth, and have at least 25 jobs a year in four different categories. I don't know how much of that is still in, but I'm guessing the export requirement at least. Caravans are for loading down with useless trinkets; they don't have anything you REALLY want. Except steel. And booze. --Zombiejustice 22:38, 10 April 2010 (UTC)

Being that nobles are now defined in the raws, we can use what we know from there, which is 20 pop, 100000 created wealth, and 10000 exported wealth. Other information needs to be tested for. -Commondragon

I can't confirm it solidly, but it looks like the job thing is still in effect. I had well in excess of the other requirements for years. -Anon

Is the appointment of the Baron perhaps linked to the "Becoming the Capital" requirements listed in n -> c? Mine is listing 10000 architecture, 5000 road value, and 7500 offerings as "desired" amounts. I don't see anything about this screen in the wiki, but I am now pushing forward with road construction to see what happens when the targets are met.

Following up, as soon as my fortress met these requirements (after 20+ years of meeting the old critera), the liason asked me to nomimate a Dwarf to become Baron. Looks like the n -> c requirements are what triggers the upgrade to Barony.

What is this n -> c screen? I dont see any c option on the nobles screen...

I didn't see it at first, but it (the screen) eventually showed up, I think there is some basic criteria to having that screen available at all.--OmathErius 14:39, 14 May 2010 (UTC)

I think the c option requires a broker with minimum skill requiremnets - it is a fortress valuation measure after all.

Well, visible or not, as soon as I built a road, I got a baron. Thanks for the tip! --Zombiejustice 02:31, 15 May 2010 (UTC)

Did the road have to be connected to the edge of the map? I have done all requirements and no baron Jimi12 23:42, 13 July 2010 (UTC)

My broker is a high master appraiser, and there's no n-c option available.--Doub 16:23, 18 July 2010 (UTC)

I think its just random once you meet the requirements. I got a baron at 218 population, 1 mil created wealth and 40K imported wealth.
