So I was looking through the cultures.txt and...

[Naggafin]

I found this all the way at the bottom:

bears = {
	leader = polar_bear
	unit = EuropeanGC
	polar_bears = {
		color = { 200 200 200}
		first_names = { Nanuk Ursus Isbjorn Grrrowr Bjorn Grrgrrr Rawr Bamse }
		
		last_names = { Beliy Medved Bjorn Rawrrorr Rrrrr Grrr Gyp Qoi Styrbjorn Blomstfjellet }
	}
	union = SCA
}

Now THAT makes me want to create a nation of bears. Battle bears if you will. Imagine it: immigrants converting into bears. Bear global domination. Who knows? Anyway, I wonder if this is some new easter egg in the game, because it certainly wasn't there before HOD came out. Thoughts?

I'd guess it has something to do with Jan Mayen.

 

[Peter Kirby]

The patch notes did mention "improvements" to Jan Mayen.

Came as a bit of a surprise when I created generals and admirals. Of course, now I demand the ability to have my avatar be a polar bear admiral.

 

[LordofTurtles]

Jan Mayen's primary culture is Polar Bear and they have a decision to purchase Iceland&Greenland from Denmark

Sadly, there are 0 Polar Bear pops in the game, so no assimilation will occur

 

[volcanopele]

yeah, that is the only problem with it. As such, I never had assimilation in Iceland and Greenland so they never became states. So I had a state with 4 people and a colony with 30000.

Don't mess with the Polar Bear overlords!

 

[BootOnFace]

Mod the game to create a Polar bear pop of 50 and run a challenge to make the most polar bears.

 

[Thanik]

I don't think it is a joke.
If Trolls exist in paradox forum, why Bears , Santa Claus or Yeti can't exist in real, or even in their games?
I wonder if Polar Bears emigrate to USA or Jamaica they will become Grizzly?

 

[Scythlyr]

I saw that and found it just awesome. I'll create a conversion event for polar bears if I can.
On a note though, is that code right? Isn't the "leader = polar_bear" missing an "s", considering it's "polar_bears = { ... }"?
