The player will then have the option to promote a [[dwarf]] of his or her choice to the rank of '''baron''', which will take effect when the liaison leaves the map. This offer can be permanently rejected to avoid having more [[nobles]], but this results in the player being unable to request imports from their parent civilization. Dwarven caravans will still arrive, but the player loses the option to influence their contents. This offer can also be temporarily rejected (by agreeing, then canceling the selection screen), deferring the choice until the liaison's next visit. |

This will prevent the majority of [[mandate]]s and [[demand]]s, though it may be a good idea to supply additional happy [[thought]]s to replace those that would have been experienced from having mandates met. Unfortunately, preferences are not viewable from the promotion screen, so it is necessary to find the best dwarf for the job in advance of the liaison's offer. |
Since the baron is promoted from within, rather than immigrating, he or she will not automatically be accompanied by a baron(ess) consort. However, if you chose to promote a [[marriage|married]] dwarf, then the spouse will become the consort, and will be considered an unlisted noble (doesn't appear in the {{k|n}}oble menu, but is listed as a [[noble]] in the {{k|u}}nits menu). | Since the baron is promoted from within, rather than immigrating, he or she will not automatically be accompanied by a baron(ess) consort.

| − | The selected baron(ess) may still perform useful labour from his/her normal life (as a miner, for example). However, as the baron is supposed to be a [[Noble#Notes|lazy noble]], this seems to be an unintended, broken behaviour in all 0.34.xx versions (so far) and might be fixed in future releases. | + | The selected baron(ess) may still perform useful labour from his/her normal life (as a miner, for example).
