Civic lost, how to recover

[Jay Sherman]

I'm playing with Inward Perfection and ethics Spiritualist, Pacifist and Xenophobe (yeah really charming people). I got the Old Gods event chain and I accepted the option to embrace Spiritualist (going from normal to fanatic and abandoning Pacifist), and now my Inward Perfection civic is disabled (I checked, no effects except the council position, which might be a bug actually):

But when trying to reform the government I'm blocked because Inward Perfection is not removable:

I feel this is a bug, or at least a huge trap from the event. It could tell you "hey, you're going to stop being pacifist and that means you lose on this and that".

Is there any way of swapping the civic out? I had to re-embrace the pacifist faction to enable it, but is there any other alternative besides that or playing with one less civic?

Respecting the civic requirements again is the only way to reuse the civic, and there is no way to remove it.

Maybe permanent civic should always be enabled?

It's again an issue of permanent civics that should be origins, but origins having only a single slot.

Yeah, I'm not sure how I feel about those civics. Definitely on its own class but not quite origins in my mind.

You embrace the pacifist faction so you're pacifist xenophobe again.

You don't need to reform government to do that.

Yeah, that's exactly what I did (it's in the post). I'm wondering if there are any other method of removing the civic given that this is a "fair" use case and not me trying to cheese the locked civic out.

The only non-cheese way of getting rid of the locked civics is becoming emperor. And even then I consider that cheesy.

You embrace the pacifist faction so you're pacifist xenophobe again.

Depending on faction attraction or membership or something, you might end up fanatic spiritualist and pacifist though.
