You know what would have been great? If you had announced this a week ago, then said it was all a joke today.

People wouldn't know what to think.

Also, would pay for this.

At first I laughed really hard (c'mon its funny) then I kept reading and thought these are some cool game play mechanics... I normally HATE fantasy stuff but these mechanics sound cool!
SI just needed to have mayans as well (Varity!) with a small chance of happening earlier so there was more to the game play then I would have though about it.

Then I was thinking but april fools was yesterday? Oh they be in Norway :p

Would be a good marketing strategy to test the waters too, if eveyone had hated the idea they go april fools, if not they have till all hallows day. Brilliant

I think this is a "joke" in which Paradox tests the demand for a zombie-related DLC. Judging by the response, I'll bet they reconsider whether it's really a joke or not. I would buy the crap out of this DLC.

Guys we need to think straight. April fools is already over in new zealand which means that except if they posted something you can only see after a certain time in your time zone explaining it's a april fools it MUST be real. OR it's fake and I'm just overthinking it. Probably the last one but lets hope this sounds kinda interesting.

I'm sick and tired of the Zombie fad, they're invading every game, just like a real zombie apocalypse...

Please don't jump on that bandwagon!

Now, where's my LEGO Crusader Kings 2! :cool:

This thread confirms what I've long believed.

When Sunset Invasion came out, the reason so many people got upset wasn't because it was a fantasy scenario ruining their historical game. They were mad that Paradox had made this DLC instead of the Republics or Theocracy DLC they were demanding. Which is why most of the complaining was that Paradox was "wasting resources" that should have been better spent on something else -- the thing they wanted.

Then, once the revolt started it became the cool thing to say -- that you hated SI. So a lot of people just joined the haters club without really thinking about it or playing it. Which is now put to the test when they see the Zombie thing, think it's cool, and have to deal with the fact that it conflicts with all the nonsense they've been repeating for months without thinking it through.

It was never really about fantasy DLCs and history. It was about a small group of people who were acting out when they didn't get the toy they wanted first, who then infected the whole argument. That was how it always seemed to me at the time, and it's the only explanation how all those arguments they made disappear when the next cool fantasy DLC idea comes out.

For the record, not a particular fan of zombies but looks fun. Hope they actually do it. It would be a great way to watch your carefully built New Roman Empire fall apart.
