I just had a king appear in my fort with a migrant wave that brought me from 13 dwarves to 24. I haven't discovered adamantine, have only traded a few rough gems (appraiser said they were worth less than 200 total), haven't made ANY offerings to caravans, haven't smelted a single bar worth of ore, and the only craft I made was an artifact my jeweler made while possessed. I haven't even made beds yet. Can someone explain to me how this is possible? -Elvenchakra (talk) 14:29, 30 July 2014 (UTC)

It might be that your fortress is the only site left. Make a copy, retire and check in Legends what happened to the rest of your civ.--Afghani84 (talk) 04:47, 1 April 2015 (UTC)

Additional Notes:

this page should mention somewhere that the liaison comes along with the monarch.
perhaps also aproximately how long before the monarch to arrives, though the time probably varies. in my case the monarch came in late spring.Disacorns (talk) 20:10, 4 January 2015 (UTC)

Dead Civ

I think it should be added what happens if you embark with all other sites of your civilization being gone. Usually one of your dwarves will soon be declared king/queen and be completely obnoxious and useless from then on.--Afghani84 (talk) 04:47, 1 April 2015 (UTC)


Happened to me as well (my weaponsmith ;-;). The highest positioned dwarf in the civ atm was a baroness afaik, but I'm not sure if I checked it properly. --Abkaal (talk) 13:58, 13 August 2016 (UTC)

Entourage

I had the king arrive after I hit the absolute population cap and he only came with the queen consort and the liason. I didn't get any other entourage like the wiki says - might be worth updating to reflect that only the consort and liason will definitely show up 103.39.136.65 03:03, 2 April 2015 (UTC)chipathingy

Just adding a note that the same thing happened to me. I was at or near the population cap and when the monarch arrived, the entourage was only the queen, king consort, and outpost liaison. No general, no royal guard, and none of the existing royal children. --2128 (talk) 15:42, 3 March 2017 (UTC)

Metropolis?

I only have a Fortress Rank of City, and yet I am able to see the "Becoming the Capital" tab and check it, and presumably summon the king. Are we absolutely sure the fortress needs to be a Metropolis? I can provide screenshots if requested.
