Can't place specialists.

[GotSomePills]

Tried everything, click blue tile, click blue tiles in different cities, right click tiles, reload game. I am stuck on 2/4 specialists with no explanation as to why I can't have more.

Must have done at least 12 times now clicking blue tiles to add more specialists on city growth, the game accepts the click and goes back to normal game play but does not add the specialist.

Bumping this. This has happened REPEATEDLY in my game. I have "placed" well over 15 specialists, but I only actually have 3. This is a serious bug that makes the science path impossible to complete. And why can't we get a "city population" view like we have had in every other Civ game? I don't understand why they cut so much out of the UI.

Same thing is happening to me!

[LordHoober]

Same issue.

[Hillman]

Same here. Stuck at 2/4

[Danegeld]

I have experienced this as well

im damn near ending the exploration tech tree and still have 2/4 for the science path even though i placed like 15 specialists.

Same here. Stuck at 2/4 with at least 10 specialists placed.

Looks like the Specialists *are* being placed, but the counter isn't going up. It doesn't actually prevent progress towards the legacy path, just the wording in the tracker.

This is exasperated by the fact that there's no citizen view to check what's going on in the city.

Yeah, I did somehow eventually clear the first hurdle, and immediately jumped to the 4th (achieve a yield of 40 in 3 non-city-centre tiles) after having turned the game off and coming back an hour later.

This is happening to me as well.

Yep I am facing the same bug. It’s pretty frustrating.

[Blacky]

Me too! And I thought I missed some instructions or there might be two different specialists!

I think you have to place the four specialists in the same City, This worked for me, anyway.

Same issue for me, I'm stuck at 2/4. And I don't think adding the specialist in the same city makes any difference. It simply does not add it. It seems to work sometimes, because I got stuck at 1/4 several times while adding a specialist, but I still haven't figure out what should be exactly done to have the specialist actually added to the city... :-( The weird thing is that it takes the action into account as I'm not able to add it after nor expand my city...

apparently its suppose to be in the same city, the description in-game doesn't make that clear. and ofc don't place it in the city center.
