0004942: After Duke died, Monarch group arrives as plain immigrants
The Duke died over 15 years prior to the capital requirements being fulfilled. When the Monarch arrived with his entourage of 3, they came with their typical high level fighting skills and a few work skills. The Monarch doesn't show up on the nobles screen and they behave like regular immigrants. He was announced properly and it now says 'Mountainhome' in the status screen.
1. Get a Baron or higher level noble.
2. Let the noble die.
3. Fulfill the requirements for capital.
No tags attached.

Did the monarch actually arrive intact, or did he drop dead at the map edge? Also, did your (c)ivilization screen actually list your home civilization as having a Monarch previously?

They arrived fine. I checked the civ screen 2 years earlier and it says that the dwarven civ has no important leaders.

With the changes to inheritance and noble positioning, this is most likely obsolete. If it is found to still be the case in the 40.xx series of releases, please PM a manager on the forums to reopen this report.
