Summary

0006172: Keep a liaison waiting long enough and you can have 2 barons

Description

One baron is enough. Fortunately you have to explicitly ask for two.

Steps To Reproduce

If the mayor is extremely busy, he can go a whole year without having a chance to meet with the liaison. By that time, another liaison will have shown up. If this happens when your fortress has just become eligible to become a barony, the first liaison (when he finally gets a moment with the mayor) will ask for recommendations for baron. If the second liaison manages to get a meeting before the first leaves the screen, he will also ask for a recommendation. Recommend two different dwarves and you will soon have two different barons.

Additional Information

I haven't tried to reproduce this, but I'm pretty sure I've had it happen before. My current fortress has a baroness and a baron (not married to each other, and they require separate throne/dining/bedrooms).

I'm also not sure exactly what the conditions are - it might only require two liaisons, even if the first leaves the map before the second starts their meeting. In my current fort it was as described above: The first liaison was still on his way out when the second one asked for recommendations.
