Screenshot?

kramari · 05-08-2007, 20:58

Heh, I never saw it. But I am relatively new at this game and I never look at that part of the map.
Here, I took to liberty to post a screenshot

L.Gergo · 05-08-2007, 21:00

That's Palpatine.

caffran · 05-08-2007, 21:05

thanx for posting the screen shot, couldn't figure out how to do it. it is not palpatine. maybe some paradox programmer having a laugh?? in which case do i win a bun for being first to spot it??

later, caff

beowulf · 05-08-2007, 21:10

Robin Hood?

El-Wrongo · 05-08-2007, 22:03

It kinda looks like Conan.

Dysken · 05-08-2007, 22:31

IIRC there is one in another game. Possibly EU2 or HOI. But that one was in profile.

El-Wrongo · 05-08-2007, 23:07

Having gone trough some of my old Conan albums I would definitively say it is Conan the Barbarian.

Well Paradox holds the rights to those movies.

While it's possible its an easter egg, it's also possible it's just pareidolia like the man in the moon, i.e. a design that happens to appear to conform to a recongnizable shape, but purely by chance.

Yes, for some reason they actually do. There is some article on Dagens Industri about it. Just search their webpage for paradox.

People play in map modes other than political?

beowulf · 06-08-2007, 00:49

I've removed tiles.bmp so I can't see that face.

RELee · 06-08-2007, 01:44

It's definitely Sgt. Fury. Definitely!

And he's not happy!
