Summary0013280: Losing ALL noble posiitions after auto promotion to MONARCH of other CIV
Description(sorry of something might be incorrect, it's my first time playing)

100 years after creation of world:

1. Started a fort with Rift Craftsarches as expedition leader and unknown parentage
2. Lived till early winter 101. There king of "The Fair Orb" died after a raid on him
3. Rift Craftsarches became a king
4. All noble positions got filled by "The Fair Orb" dwarfs (checked in Legends alternative timeline)
5. All noble positions disapered from my Noble tab hardlocking me in Noble system
Steps To ReproduceGet promoted to king of other CIV by death of original king

Get all NOBLE positions filled by CIV (not your fort)

Conclusion: Hardlock all your essential noble positions
Additional InformationMy guess is:
All NOBLE possitions are filled by people of other CIV.
We dont have them as a part of our fort so game thinks that it's not our Nobles, BUT they still are nobles of a King that presented in fort, so they are filling our Noble positions, as game thinks that we are a capital with a MONARCH (or sort of it)

P.S. How to add savefiles here?

I think this is because nobles need to be appointed by the expedition leader or mayor. Your fort doesn't have an expedition leader anymore because they became the king instead. Theoretically you should get a mayor after reaching 50 population and will be able to assign nobles again. Otherwise you could try getting the king killed, but that might lead to other bugs down the track. Regardless, I wouldn't recommend playing this fort because the king blocks promotion of barons etc.
