40d Talk:Noble

I'm "fixing" the change, "16:59, 31 October 2007 Lightning4 (Talk | contribs) (1,934 bytes) (→Appointments - Isn't called bookkeeper, at least when the fortress is new.)", because in my forts it IS called bookkeeper when the fortress starts. Other edits have backed me up, suspect editor was confused--Please discuss this here? --Sowelu 15:09, 31 October 2007 (EDT)

I apologize, I was indeed incorrect. You do start with a Bookkeeper, which in very short order can be upgraded to a Treasurer. Unsure of requirements, possibly only requires 20 dwarves like the sheriff. My fortress has one and I haven't even done anything besides changed who had bookkeeping and set it to higher priority (did not build study yet). That's probably what got me confused since the bookkeeper upgrades very quickly. Lightning4 18:11, 31 October 2007 (EDT)

Yeah, 20 dwarves sounds accurate enough to put in there. He didn't turn when I had only 17. --Sowelu 18:14, 31 October 2007 (EDT)

"Your original expedition leader will be the fourth dwarf down in the starting screen(the one in the middle)." This does not seem to hold true; I have a newly-developed habit of making the last dwarf on the screen (used to be my designated hauler-peasant) into the administrator, with all the social skills for filling the four starter noble roles. He gets auto-assigned to all four administrative positions; I'm thinking that instead of being fixed or random, the starting assignment is based on social skills. --Alfador 00:29, 1 November 2007 (EDT)

What determines expedition leader?

There are a number of situations to test out:

• No social skills on any dwarves
• Majority of social skills on one dwarf (various positions in start order)
• Social skills spread between multiple dwarves
  • Is there any weight on which skill determines the leader?
