I was playing as Poland, and grabbed the social policy that allowed city states to give me great people. A few turns later one gives me a Merchant of Venice. I didn't think that was possible.
I wish these threads would stop.
And I also wanna know what the chances are - from how often these threads appear it must be pretty high.
Just gonna copy my response to the most recent "Gifted a MoV" thread before this one:I don't find it a problem unless Venice and/or Mongolia are in that current game, because otherwise it undermines their unique-ness.
I'm afraid these threads are not going to stop until this feature is removed from the game. It can be completely gamebreaking. Whenever I get one, and in one of my games I got 3 of them, it feels like abusing a bug. More people feel the same way, hence the number of threads.I wish these threads would stop.

Is it really worth filling the whole patronage tree because of some random great persons?
P.S. And I kinda don't see the point of complaining about such threads, zou can simply ignore em after all ...
But you also have to consider the opportunity cost: to fill up Patronage means, typically, foregoing or stalling Rationalism (unless you're Poland I guess...). I'd say you deserve a fair bit of compensation for that, given Rationalism's obscene power.
