* [[Leader|Expedition Leader]]:
 +
:Listens to the complaints of other dwarves to make them happier.  Uses [[social skill]]s. Needs an [[office]] in order to meet with outpost [[liaison]]s. It is not possible to reassign this post &ndash; at least while the original holder of the title remains alive. Your initial expedition leader is chosen based on managerial skills. You will find that your broker is often 'volunteered' for this job by the other dwarves.<br />Note that if there is no obvious candidate for Expedition Leader, it is chosen randomly. Additionally, if your Expedition Leader is slain and you do not choose a new one, a random dwarf will be volunteered for the job after about half a season.

:Listens to the complaints of other dwarves to make them happier.  Uses [[social skill]]s. Needs an [[office]] in order to meet with outpost [[liaison]]s. It is not possible to reassign this post &ndash; at least while the original holder of the title remains alive. Your initial expedition leader is automatically chosen for you before the game [[embark|starts]] based largely on [[skill|administrative and social]] skills. A starting dwarf given just [[experience|Novice]] level in [[appraisal]] is usually selected for this job, and additional, similar skills almost ensure it 100%.

You can only appoint a new Expedition Leader if your original is slain.  If you do not choose a new one, a random dwarf will be semi-randomly selected for the job after about half a season.
+
''Note - There is substantial overlap between the Expedition Leader and the Outpost Broker's duties and skills, so you may wish to assign them as the same person if you have time for one dwarf to both meet with traders, meet with the outpost liaison, and pacify the occasional unhappy dwarf.  The same [[office]] can be used to both take stock and to conduct meetings, saving on real estate and decorating costs in the early game.''

::Automatically promoted from expedition leader at 50 dwarves. Unlike the expedition leader, he requires decent housing and will make [[mandate]]s. The position of mayor is up for election every couple of years, but the existing mayor can be re-elected.  This election is apparently influenced heavily by the number of [[friend]]s your dwarfs have at the time of the election, and can sometimes result in non-optimal selections (mayors with no appropriate skills whatsoever elected over well-qualified candidates), but the process is not completely understood (just like the real world!).

''The same [[office]] can be used to both take stock and to approve work orders, for both the bookkeeper and the manager, early it is fine to have these two responsibilities shared by the same dwarf, saving on real estate and decorating costs in the early game. Later though as your fort increases you may want to separate them so bookkeeping isn't taking your manager's time.''

The easiest way to give dwarves a meager office is simply to assign them a single seat in your communal dining room, making the designated "office" 1-tile large.

It may be worth assigning an empty noble position to the spouse of another noble, so that they'll share the grand bedroom and then you don't have to build one for each.
