Forumites!

A message from the deep bowels of Paradox originally posted in the main forum, now posted here for maximum exposure:


STOCKHOLM April 1st 2015- Paradox Interactive and Paradox Development Studio today announced that Chirpy, the universally celebrated bird from Cities: Skylines, will be brought on as an advisor for three major Paradox Development Studio titles.

In an effort to make PDS games more accessible to people who are accustomed to only reading 140 characters at a time and only care for things if they have a hashtag, Chirpy will be prominently featured in Europa Universalis IV,Crusader Kings II and upcoming Hearts of Iron IV.

The Chirpy update will be free of charge and released within an arbitrary time spectrum as time is not a thing that really exists, but simply a mechanism on which we hang our understanding of our own mortality.

New Screenshots:

Yes please, I want chirpy, chirping away my soul in every Paradox game!

You know, April Fools or not, Pirate Chirpy looks pretty awesome. Can we actually have this?

 

[fletcherreed]

I like that the headgear is appropriate for each time period

 

[EMT0]

I'll be honest, I think Chirpy would be hilarious in Paradox titles, in a good way.

 

[WhiskyGlen]

Thank God someone reminded me it's April Fools. I was about to scream and remind them that Chirpy was one of the most hated things in Skylines.

What's the hate towards Chirpy? It only needs a bit more random lines so it doesn't repeat the watering of the plants one so often. Otherwise, it's cute. And think of EUIV, starting with Medieval Chirpy, going to Reneissance Chipry, then to Baroque etc. Wigged and powdered Chirpy!

Anyways, brilliant joke!

 

[Ivir Baggins]

Actually wouldn't mind it.

 

[ikkiks]

I love Chirpy, I have no idea why people hate it.

 

[CreatureAndrew]

Can someone please mod this into the game?

 

[Will Lucky]

Can we actually have this in game...I kinda sorta want this.

Reminds me a bit of Blue Emu's HoI2 AAR where he roleplayed human players for each great power. An interesting idea for a potential DLC actually. Some people would probably enjoy it.

 

[Mr. ZAP]

I would legitimately use this. Especially the CKII one.

 

[GoldenBear10]

See what would be funny would be if after 1 year we actually got this update like Songs of Yuletide. It would just be too funny.

The one for Byzantium can also be used for EU: Rome 2 which is to be released this week.

You said exactly why the hate towards Chirpy. It would be great if I weren't reading the same massage for n-th time. But very quickly it becomes just annoying.

 

[Windiman]

I would pay for this DLC.

 

[XXLPlakat]

Why is the second CK2 Screenshot in the year 474?

 

[V1ribus]

You can disable this, right?

 

[Viperswhip]

Yes, these are not universally loved by the way and even if this is a joke, it's a bad one.
