v0.31 Talk:Noble
How many nobles could I have in a dwarven fortress with 200 citizens? ie. how many nobles' bedrooms should I build, if none of the noble positions are occupied by the same person. --Anonymous

Appointed vs. Immigrant Nobles
I think much of this article only applies to nobles that emigrate from the mountainhomes. My Count still mines and carries rocks. Also, it should be made clear that the economy is nonfunctional and, for instance, tax collectors will never appear. Finally, what are the implications of NOT accepting when the liaison offers you a barony? I assume a baron comes anyway. I have never gotten a noble imigrant of any sort, do you need to reject the offer to get, for example, a dungeon master? GhostDwemer 17:13, 16 November 2010 (UTC)
- I posted on the forum, and it seems that if you don't appoint someone, the liaison will simply leave and try again next year. Which raises the question: are there ANY immigrant nobles in 31? I have not seen a single one in over a dozen forts and over twenty years total game time. I don't think much of this applies to the current game. Nobles are not lazy. They will continue to work at their regular jobs. Econ exempt is meaningless, there is no econ. The hammerer doesn't show up, no arsenal dwarf, no dungeon master, no tax collector. I haven't gotten a monarch yet, can anyone who has comment on this? Does your leader get raised to king, or does the king actually immigrate? This whole page seems more geared towards the previous version. GhostDwemer 21:26, 19 November 2010 (UTC)
- The monarch does immigrate, though it seems to be quite common for said monarch to drop dead of old age immediately upon arriving at your fortress. --Quietust 23:09, 19 November 2010 (UTC)
- The monarch even immigrates with an immigrant wave that has ~5 Elite weapon users. They drop their armor (I don't remember now if they had any) and weapons as soon as they enter the map because they are not assigned to any squad by default and military/guard duties are nearly completely decoupled from civilian professions unlike in the .40d.--Another 15:28, 20 November 2010 (UTC)
- Thanks for the info. Can anyone confirm which nobles will and will not show up? I believe the Tax Collector will never show, as there is no economy. I, personally, have not seen a Dungeon Master on any .31.x generated world. Nor a Hammerer. Nor a Champion, but then I have not obtained any elite warriors yet. Can anyone confirm or deny the existence of the Dungeon Master, Champion, and Hammerer? I would love to take a stab at rewriting this page to make it more useful and less technical, but I don't want to spread misinformation based on just my experiences.

the raws
can someone put the raw files responsible for all the noble atributes on the wiki somewhere i cant find them Edit: nvm found it in entity_default.txt --Xainiax 23:45, 23 August 2010 (UTC)
SOLDIER_COLOR
The [SOLDIER_COLOR] token in the raws was actually SOLDIER_COLOR] (no left bracket). Whether this was done intentionally to comment them out is unclear, but I have corrected the 'typo' in this article. --Eagle0600 13:48, 5 April 2010 (UTC)
Human Noble - High Goal
I was wandering around a human town and entered a temple when I found a peculiar sight. There was a human called a High Goal standing there. I have no idea what he was meant to be and a google search reveals nothing, nor could I find a 'high goal' in the raws. Anyone got any clue? KoboldInDisguise 02:56, 11 April 2010 (UTC)
- Religious positions get randomised. You can have to high-priests of different temples and they'll be called entirely different things. Check the legends. --Eagle0600 06:55, 11 April 2010 (UTC)

Noble Death
My Count was murdered by the green menace....several years ago. Does anybody know how one goes about getting a new count/Baron/something purple? My fortress is sitting at 39 dorfs and 6mill wealth, I have adamantine roads and and Throne room designed for a king and I would like to fill it. --Anonymous
- At a loose guess, you need to up the number of dwarfs in your fortress, either through immigration or breeding, and you need to export more wealth. Apparently, the King only sends a Duke if you've got 140 dwarves and have exported thirty thousand wealth (presumably just to the dwarven civilization). As to getting a replacement Count or Baron... did the old Count have any kids? They'd be his heirs... I think... --DeMatt 22:36, 14 August 2010 (UTC)
- Well, My first was single, no children. I've exported 30000 on the button, but I assume that counts all exports and is not exclusive to the dwarves. If that's the case, I am gonna give the dwarven caravan a massive amount of goods this autumn. I am not sure about the 140 dwarves thing. The liaison appointed a dwarf when I still had the population limit at 30 (I like to run smaller fortresses for organization purposes). I'll report in on any new findings. Oh, and I have struck several HFS columns and even breached the carnival once, though I revealed it through fortifications so the clowns couldn't reach my fortress. I don't think HFS prompts anything any more. --Anonymous
Not Masterwork
I've changed the quality of the article down to Exceptional. The Template:L link needs to be created. 99.251.48.18 04:31, 6 November 2010 (UTC)
