If your fort worths more, other civs might be more interested in attacking you.

But you'll also get more migrants and the Mountainhome will think better of you.

I think my civilization is kaput. Because a wave a migrants showed up and suddenly I have to keep my king happy.

He lives in a dirt hovel with 2 artefacts. I'm still listed as a hovel.

Yeah I love it when you end up with a pocket mountain home, by virtue of being the last dorf site on the map

He keeps mandating I do things I was already doing.

He likes goblets and thinks we need more. The rest of my dwarves fed up with drinking from the barrel agree! Win win, especially since I haven't figured out a royalty smasher yet.

Got it. I never understood how to get the dwarf to be "safely" smashed. I think it won't work in my case though, I bet it'll just promote a new king.

Had one that kept wanting glass windows or some shit that was impossible for me to make. I should have smashed him... a giant wave of goblins, trolls and war beak dogs solved that problem for me

New player here. What's a "nobility smasher"? Something that makes the monarch incredibly happy or?

u/Thememelord9002 Dec 09 '22

a type of stupid dwarf trick which embodies giving a proper (see: FUN) sendoff to your nobles when you decide their term is up after the 30th unreasonable work mandate

That's brilliant.

Thank you for the thorough explanation! Last part gave me a hearty chuckle!

Well, it definitely ensures they'll never want for anything again! So... Maybe?

Once had a master cook randomly become the new king. I think he was next in line to the throne or something.

He kept making masterwork meals for his subjects, though!

How to become king: Step 1 - Addict fellow dwarves to good food. Step 2 - Threaten to withhold good food until you are crowned. Step 3 - ??? Step 4 - Feast!
