Apply for civic office unclickable

[Awesome Wolfy]

So i played through the tutorial and went to apply for a civil office. I couldn't click on it. Like at all. And the apply for office said i needed to go through that first. Am i doing something wrong? Or do i just need to do ANOTHER new game?

When you first start a game your Title is Civilian (rank 0). You'll need the Title of Citizen first before you can apply for Offices. Just start making money and doing well and the Town will take notice and see fit to offer you Citizenship (rank 1) though you'll still need 500 spare gold to purchase the rights to it.

It's not really about Reputation so much as at Level 0 you're more of a guest or traveler, you're not actually part of the town and only people who are apart of a town would ever be considered for an official office.

Actual Reputation within the game is a lot more complicated, but can be raised or lowered through the use of abilities, items or committing crimes.

@Farsight, POCAHONTAS
Thanks. I was thought this is one of many bugs of the game.

I think you cannot apply for an office in GII without a title. You start without one.

you need a wealth of 10000 i think to apply for civic rights, once you have them, and there is a bottom tier position that is free, you can apply. you need to check in every morning if you can apply

edit: it's 10000, I'm an idiot

You don't need reputation... you simply need 500 gold. You can apply for Citizenship from the very start depending on which difficulty you picked (the amount of gold you start with). But yes, for those that don't know they can do this, the game does send a message when you've earned so much gold.

It's possible, though unlikely, to enter office at the end of the first year. As you may be hard pressed making that 500 after doing your hiring, upgrades, and paying for supplies. It'll also require a low office actually being open (rng), and finally, you have to get lucky. Certain classes get a boost, and others a negative, when it comes to reputation... and the odds of the person making the decision dislikes the person(s) you're running against more than they distrust some random unknown whippersnapper that just blew in with the wind, ie. you.

Not impossible... but I think I've only managed it 2 or 3 times in many many many games.
