2.7 Patricians can't join Hermetic Society

[Anastasius]

Although all criteria are met,the patricians of merchant republics are unable to join the hermetic society,as soon as they are elected to the title of Doge the option becomes avaliable. Nowhere in the conditions does it state that you can't be a patrician if you want to join.

Yes, I just posted this in this forum as a bug report, but didn't realize that that might have been a factor. Thank you for figuring this out, though you're right that it doesn't say you can't be a Patrician -- it shows everything as green, but the button stays grayed out.

I wonder if this is WAD and the requirement listing is wrong, or if the requirement listing is right and it's an oversight and not WAD.

Plus, it seems silly that one can't be a Patrician to qualify. I wouldn't understand the Thematic reason, unless it's for some kind of gameplay balance purpose. Don't see why, though.

I think they simply forgot about patricians,like they did when reaper's due came out and you couldn't recruit a court physician.

Think I found the reason; can_join has the requirement is_landed = yes. That's to keep random courtiers from flooding the society, but I'm pretty sure it also locks out patricians who don't hold other titles.

Here's to hoping they will make it work with the next hotfix

Hey,

This is a known issue and should be fixed for the next patch

Can you guys do something about the QA checklist for patches? They really seem to have issues with checking that the simplest things are working as expected. I mean how long would it take to make sure that this particular issue didn't happen? Much like the epic failure of pagan religions not being able to reform, rebels immediately retreating when engaged, and other such lovely issues that have made it into release versions of the various games in the not too distant past...
