Summary	0007353: Dwarf randomly becomes king... in a fort with 14 dwarves
Description	One of the migrants had become injured while falling from a tree, so I tried to appoint a chief medical dwarf. In the nobles screen, I soon discovered that one of my most useless dwarves had been appointed king. There was no announcement, no entourage, no grand entrance or entourage. The only thing I know that could have made a difference is that I appointed him broker and then replaced him with another broker with better social skills. He's been fishing for the past couple months prior to his promotion.
Steps To Reproduce	1. Create fort 2. Be lucky
Additional Information	I'm on a VERY good map with tons of flux and metals, currently in the process of constructing full steel armor and weapons for the lucky dwarves in the next migrant wave; they will become my legendary military. I have only dug the first 5-7 levels (disabled aquifers)and have not struck the EXTREMELY valuable metals or gems. Now my next step is to kill the king and hope that nobody replaces him. EDIT: I killed the king via cave-in, and a queen replaced him. Oh well. If someone can instruct me on how to upload the save, I'll do so right away.
