Talk:Advanced entity position mechanics
These lines contradict eachother:
- Premature succession works in fortress mode with landholders. If a unit gets a landholdersposition and that landholder is the appointer of an yet-empty position, which is defined as succeeding from a third one, then the succession is immediately applied. The landholder himself can even be the successor of a newly created position.
- A landholder's position is, in fortress mode, not successable by a site-position or visa versa.
Needs further investigation Joostheger (talk)
An interesting tidbit I did find, while validating some info for the variable positions (writing and running some Lua scripts for it): The FORCED_ADMINISTRATOR position of the dwarven civilization is actually used, eventhough I so far found only one instance (where the position was used). Interestingly the precedence was 100 (not 65) and was the only position of a site government belonging to a goblin civ. The site ruled was a Mountain Halls and most inhabitants were also dwarves. The other data in the position definition matched the raw-definition of the FORCED_ADMINISTRATOR (of the dwarven civ). So the token [CONQUERED_SITE] might mean that another civ conquering a site of a dwarven civ will (or might) use the forced administrator for governing that site (and not the other way round).91.49.240.46 21:10, 10 February 2026 (UTC)
That is an interesting fact, but I doubt it still :-) My experience is that it just works. I think that FORCED_ADMINISTRATOR is also a generated position, used by other groups that have variable positions
