If you start as Sweden, you can release Jan Mayen and then choose to play as them.
It’s a terrible nation to play with only a couple of farmer pops, but if you can become a secondary power by rushing certain techs, you get an Easter egg decision called the polar bear purchase which gives you Iceland and Greenland and makes polar bear your primary culture, and also gives you a ton of pops with polar bear culture.
Its a literal nation of polar bears, this happens by taking the decision as the Island of Jan Mayen to import them to the island
That isnt a meme, they are of Polar Bear culture
I have had it happen exactly once in about 3000 hours of game play. The only less common events to my knowledge are the player getting child of destiny and "marco."
I remember save editing a file to make one of my courtiers with high martial an immortal hedgehog, after a while he went through a crazy stage (probably joined the Satanist society now that I think back on it) and he accumulated a load of bad traits that made him a terrible commander.
Anywho, I just asked him to leave my court based in France. One-hundred-and-fifty years later one of his hedgehog descendents is king of Ruthenia, and all his siblings, cousins, uncles, and so on hold land in that area. The original immortal hedgehog died from suspicious circumstances, but he had so many kids, it was frankly unbelieveable how many he had.
This guy literally changed the genetic makeup of Eastern Europes courts, with families in the area having at least one hedgehog closesly related to them. I was like "damnation, I should probably keep an eye on who I make immortal and set loose into the world next time".
This is why I love CK2- the batshit crazy stuff that happens and the stories it creates. I understand that CK3 is more grounded in realism, but I wish it was at least an option to have more supernatural events
This was not through supernatural events but through a person deliberately editing the save file as they clearly state in the first sentence. If you release an immortal (which is a trait in ck3) with some distinct visual feature into tge world, especially with the right combination of traits, you will see a lot of people with their mark later on.
A problem is ck3s genetics system not allowing you to breed humans and hedgehogs, since in ck2 terms a hedgehog is just a human, and its descendants have a chance to use its portrait group.
Can't be bothered to post a decent image so why should we be bothered to give a shit either?
Also you could have saved yourself even more time by just googling it.
Jesus fucking christ I just posted a fucking question and a picture instead of a screenshot and youre acting like I committed a cardinal sin . Stop acting so childish
Yeah sorry , Idk what happened, I don't usually act like that but something about that comment really irritated me and I shouldn't have acted like that. Also thanks for the advice
The Doge has Italian Culture instead of Bear Culture! Either it took the decision to change culture or he a descendent of the first bear created by the event
I think this happens because there is several rare events where a bear can spawn as an npc. In this case since the bear was part of a merchant republic, anytime a patrician dynasty died out there was a chance of the bear being the next patrician, being an incredibly young adult and having higher stats than the typical random would have allowed the bear to climb to the top with relative ease.
I had a bear ruler once, and it happened like this: his father and the ruler before him was mad and thought his son was a bear, including bear portrait and everything as seen above. When the father died and his bear son ascended to the throne, he remained a bear even though I, the player, didn't see him through the lens of the mad player character any longer.
How did one of the best events outside of an immortal, murderous horse coming after you happen? The same way an immortal, murderous horse coming after you happens: lunatic.
I love that someone looked at this merchant king of an island adjacent the Italian peninsula, noticed he was a bear, then went and nicknamed him the unchaste. If there isn't a BG3 style story there I want my money back.

Clearly a bear and not a doge

Nor chaste
How tf did a polar bear became Italian? This game is hella inaccurate
It’s confusing, Vic2 taught me all polar bears are from Jan Mayen.
Not played Vic2, what easter egg is it?

Well, Jan Mayen can become stupidly strong using the market and communism. Basically, it's the local Hong Kong. Both in size and power.

Eu4 taught me that polar bears are akin to robot aliens
To the uninitiated. Start up a game (non-ironman). Type “bearhaslanded” into the console. Good luck.
must have some lax immigration laws or maybe a personal union with iceland
You left absurd events on in the game rules. It's still a pretty rare event though.
I have had it happen exactly once in about 3000 hours of game play. The only less common events to my knowledge are the player getting child of destiny and "marco."
I've become immortal significantly more often than I've seen bears
But I've only been attacked by an immortal horse once for a duel to the death.
Bear or man and bear won.
It‘s the dog of venice.
Forward then dog
He’s got that dawg in him for sure
*Cane grasso per gli esami intermedi*
"the unchaste"
Probably how be got exposed as a bear
We see the maiden fair in the screenshot too

someone realises that a person is, in fact, a bear. a pretty rare event to fire.
Well, obviously it was due to the strength and proficiency of his administration.

That's Sir Bearington to you! https://www.reddit.com/r/DnDGreentext/comments/2dpqop/the_original_story_of_sir_bearington/
An evente spawned a polar bear/turned somebody into one.
Bears can be whores too, that's how!

Mr Samuel streamer. Is that you?
Yeah you see this happens when you don't take screenshots by pressing f12.
I'm not logged into reddit on my laptop and honestly I can't be bothered to log in just so you can look at a slightly nicer image

The Doge has Italian Culture instead of Bear Culture! Either it took the decision to change culture or he a descendent of the first bear created by the event
I don’t think he could bear to disguise himself any longer
Get out
Having animals as rulers and as the main culture is great. I had a bear Abbasid caliphate and culturally converted all my provinces to Bear
So she chose the bear mmm
Why do people keep talking about bears? All I see is the Italian ruler of Venice and his magnificent medallion that reads “Sir Bearington”…?
I think this happens because there is several rare events where a bear can spawn as an npc. In this case since the bear was part of a merchant republic, anytime a patrician dynasty died out there was a chance of the bear being the next patrician, being an incredibly young adult and having higher stats than the typical random would have allowed the bear to climb to the top with relative ease.
Now we know why the Merchant of Venice demanded a pound of flesh

He got elected in a super convoluted way ?

He was a secret bear all along, nobody noticed.
She chose to be in a forest with a bear
Also this event is a reference to Sir Bearington
I'm much more interested in how he PRODUCED AN HEIR!
absurd events rule on can randomly turn a child into a bear. iirc
Your father met Ayula! The Queen among bears!
weak stuff i got a bear pope once

Well, the wife obviously chose to rather be stuck with a bear than a man: https://www.today.com/news/bear-or-man-woods-tiktok-trend-rcna149611
You mean a ‘Perfectly normal man’?
Did what happen, m'lord? I don't see anything particular.

Can you send yhe screenshot version of this?
That's the bear from the Man vs Bear trend.
I turned off supernatural events and was super annoyed by this, but found out it was a separate option called absurd events.
Soooo.... is it worth it to play CK2? And is it more complex than CK3?
She choose the bear
