![]() Fortunately for us we can chose a dwarf to do the job. This skill is what makes our stock count accurate (more on that later). Usually, if you embark with at least one dwarf with the “appraiser” skill (good idea, by the way), this job would already be filled. Next job for you is to assign a book keeper. ![]() Once you’ve assigned the bedroom, office, dining room and tomb, if you go back to the noble list and view our chap you will now see his holdings have changed (clicky biggy): If he had a room, but not a good enough room, it would show what he’s currently got and what he’s actually demanding. If he were demanding more rooms you would see them in red on the left. He’s not demanding any, but we’ll do it for practice. #MINECRAFT DWARF FORTRESS FULL#Lets assign Eshtan Urdimfash a full set of noble rooms, just for kicks. Our dwarf owns 14 objects (mostly clothes and stuff), has “meagre quarters”. Hit “enter” and you’ll see info about the current leader. Lets look at the current expedition leader. As the fortress grows more noble ranks will appear in this list and more positions will be filled. With a newby fortress only one dwarf is set as expedition leader. Chances are it looks like this (click for big): This is your noble list, right now it should be very short, but in time it will grow. It pays to try and meet the demands of your nobles or they may go crazy and cause all kinds of problems. Mandates are demands by the noble for things to be done, like the production of certain goods, or a ban on the export of certain goods. The other thing nobles do is make mandates. Quality can be increased through smoothing and engraving the walls of the room as well as adding more furniture, especially high quality furniture. Their biggest demand is for rooms, which need to be of a certain quality. They usually don’t do much (other than haul stuff) but they do make demands. What is all this about nobles I hear you ask? Well, once your fortress gets to a certain size, those purple slacker dwarfs will come to live in your fortress. Usually nobles want at least two of most of those items so produce a ton and get placing! ![]() For simplicty’s sake, set up each room in its own contained area and then throw in some decorations to keep the noble happy, like armor stands, weapon stands, containers, statues, cabinets, cages (with their favourite animal in them), that sort of thing. Nobles (from the “n” menu) generally want a bedroom (assigned from a bed), a dining room (assigned from a table), an office (assigned from a chair) and often a tomb as well (assigned from a coffin). ![]() Every room has a bed and a door and the noble rooms (they will need four rooms each, as a rule) are kitted out with assorted stuff to keep any nobles who visit happy. Get on with it! Queer Eye for the Straight Dwarfĭecorating your massive housing project should be complete now. ![]() And not the Class-C sort of fruit that gets picked and sold on the streets, no, nice, rare, delicious fruit! Anyway, where was I? Oh, yes, tutorial 9, Nobles and other layabouts. You’ve come a long way, padawan, but don’t worry, I won’t let any stupid angsty teenager come and strike you down because he’s in a tizzy having lost his mum! No, nothing of the sort! Baby Dwarf Fortress managers like yourself will prosper and grow strong like a seedling, going on to bear nice dwarven fruit. I’ve written a book – Getting Started with Dwarf Fortress, available at O’Reilly and Amazon!
