Philosopher king and talentend

[Omnium]

If you pick the talented trait (+1 lvl for leaders) and the philosopher king civic (+2 lvl for ruler), shouldnt your ruler be lvl 3 or does the ruler not count as a leader?

It seems to that the civic just dont work, at least for me.

Supposedly the 1.5.1 beta fixed the Philosopher King bug today, so it should work now (I don't know if there was a problem with Talented; that's not mentioned in the patch notes)

EDIT: It's an opt-in beta you have to select on Steam (see the sticky)

Actually your ruler should be 4.
1 (base) + 1 (talented) + 2 (Civic).
It should. But the Civic is not working properly (at least for Initial ruler; it might still work for Heirs).

This should be fixed in 1.5.1 beta patch. It is at least among the patchnotes.

If I started with a level 5 leader without picking anything special, did I just luck out?

I think the Initial Ruler is supposed to start on 4 anyway.
At least it always was in a Democracy.

So either Talented or Philosopher King should get you to 5 on that one. But the further ones should be 2, 3 or 4 depending on combination.

I thought it wasn't working properly. Well, too late now to restart.

on a side note, does anyone know how to lvl up emperors?
