In-universe, when you appoint a leader, the new orders don't just descend from on high - instead, a higher-ranking official will actually appoint someone to the position. All appointed positions aside from the militia captain are appointed by the [[expedition leader]], or the [[mayor]] that replaces them when your fort's population reaches a certain point. [[Militia captain]] positions are instead appointed by the [[militia commander]], and the commander must return from any [[mission|missions]] before any appointments can be made. If your fort doesn't have the relevant higher-ranking official [[fun|for some reason]], you can't appoint certain positions until they are replaced.
