This article is about an older version of DF.

The Expedition Leader is a Noble automatically picked when you embark. It is the job of this official to speak with, and console or simply hear the complaints of disgruntled workers, and to entertain foreign diplomats. He or she is automatically elected to be the Mayor once the population reaches 50, removing the Expedition Leader position.

  • Expedition Leaders are leaders,
  • Expedition Leaders, along with Mayors, are capable of appointing other Nobles. If you find yourself unable to appoint new Nobles, you will have to wait for a new Mayor to become appointed.

There is a certain set of Skills that are relevant for an Expedition Leader, there are also certain Personality Traits that influence if experience is gained in the skill whatsoever, furthermore there are Soul Attributes that affect the Skills and other Skills that affect the same Attributes Cross Training, the ones relevant for an Expedition Leader are as follow:

Skill (relevant for Expedition Leader) Personality Trait (needed to gain Social Skill) Attribute (affected by Social Skill)

The better match with the table Skills, Traits and Attributes the better Expedition Leader the Dwarf will be, try to avoid Traits that halt experience gain for a relevant Skill, otherwise time will be lost training a Dwarf that will never get better at that Skill.
