This article is about an older version of DF.

The mayor is a Template:L whose job it is to speak with disgruntled workers and entertain foreign diplomats. He or she is automatically created from the Template:L once the population reaches 50, although a new mayor will be elected from time to time.

Every other year[Verify], during the 3rd week of Hematite, the fortress's Template:L will elect a new Mayor, who will demand improved Template:L accordingly. The former Mayor will revert to the profession they had previously and will no longer require those rooms. Becoming Mayor gives a happy Template:L. Dwarves currently in the military are not eligible to be elected as mayor. The amount of Template:L a Template:L may be the main factor in his election to the office of Mayor. However, there is a random element to it, and so it is quite possible for a dwarf with no Template:Ls and fewer friends to be elected over a dwarf who has either or both.

A Mayor will sometimes make Template:Ls, which can include banning Template:L or producing certain Template:L. If a new Mayor is elected when a mandate is in effect, that mandate will end, and no dwarves will be punished for not meeting it.
