You will need to reach a certain architectural [[value]], [[road]] value (whether from paved roads or [[bridge]]s), and [[Trading|offerings]] required (to the dwarven civ's merchants) for the King to arrive. The values needed for each vary from fort to fort, but can be viewed by examining 'The Incoming King' on the Nobles screen - the base values are 10000☼ architecture + 5000☼ roads + 5000☼ offerings, with one of the three values being randomly increased by 50%. Offerings to merchants must actually reach the king: the merchants must make it safely off the map with your offerings. |

Once the adamantine has been reached, the mandates will change, forcing you to "make adamantine goods" (mining out the adamantine in the process), eventually leading to the [[demon]] being released and your fortress being instantly destroyed via the "Too Deep" ending. Failing to satisfy these mandates results in extremely cruel punishment toward your miners - 200 days in prison or 100 hammerstrikes '''per crime'''. |
