| Summary | 0004417: Site positions with REQUIRES_POPULATION work spottily in World Gen | ||||
| Description | In a modded entity of mine, I have a site-bound mayor position with REQUIRES_POPULATION to make sure it only appears in major sites. However, the position isn't always filled when there are enough people at the site. At first, I considered the possibility that it only counts historical figures to determine if a site gets a major, but I have had sites with thousands of inhabitants that lack a mayor, while smaller sites have one. | ||||
| Steps To Reproduce | Add the following entity position to humans, and generate a world: [POSITION:MAYOR] [NAME:mayor:mayors] [SITE] [NUMBER:1] [RESPONSIBILITY:LAW_MAKING] [RESPONSIBILITY:MEET_WORKERS] [RESPONSIBILITY:RECEIVE_DIPLOMATS] [RESPONSIBILITY:MILITARY_GOALS] [REQUIRES_POPULATION:125] [RULES_FROM_LOCATION] [ELECTED] [PRECEDENCE:60] [FLASHES] [BRAG_ON_KILL] [EXPORTED_IN_LEGENDS] [CHAT_WORTHY] [DO_NOT_CULL] [KILL_QUEST] [COLOR:5:0:0] [ACCOUNT_EXEMPT] [DUTY_BOUND] | ||||
| Tags | No tags attached. | ||||

However, the position isn't always filled when there are enough people at the site. At first, I considered the possibility that it only counts historical figures to determine if a site gets a major, but I have had sites with thousands of inhabitants that lack a mayor, while smaller sites have one. Are you sure that population is the only criterion for the position to be filled? I.e., if you remove the tag, do all the sites reliably have that position? |

Removing the tag indeed causes mayors to show up at every civilization site, excepting conquered sites (they get an administrator instead) and fortresses (which play by different rules since they normally don't have a site government). As long as there is at least one person at the site, there is a mayor (yes, I had a hamlet with a pop of 1 and a mayor). |
