    Never got that one before. It is weird as I doubt Parrots would follow a person around.

    Parrots can become very attached to its owner! So much, that if the owner dies or disappears, the parrot can become depressed and start tearing of its feathers. There is nothing unlikely about a parrot following a person around if that person has tamed and fed it since it was little.

    I've had a parrot follower for several of my admirals. Funny thing is, this one has the parrot, and is a Swashbuckler at the same time, as well as being located in the Caribbean.
    A proper pirate that one.

    I wonder if the American Revolutionary leaders get a bald eagle trait to help them?

    There's also the man-eating tiger you get in India. That would surely scare me.

    Whatchoo talkin' 'bout foo'? That parrot is hilarious the first time you get it because it's so unexpected; plus it makes you feel more piratey! It's a million times better than a patriotic sword. My top five followers in terms of numbers are lunaticks, amusing cads, "mistresses" (lots of not so straight guys in Prussia this go round), dumb nephews, and patriotic swords. My favorite is probably the parrot, or the barber because that quote is ludicrous.

    I love that it says "foul-mouthed parrot"

    Oh and on another note...

    Not that he was a follower, but once as England my minister to America was Dale Jarret. He must have been very popular in the southern colonies.

    Well followers are the same as retinue in other tw games..I do not think that a general can have armor in his retinue either but they did

    It seems to me that whenever I've had a counter-revolution (my favorite thing to do nowadays) several of my ministers get "harridan" followers.

    I once had an admiral who had two different parrots! One was just the regular one and I forget what was so special about the other...

    I was honestly expecting a few more blackadder references in this game...

    for example; Lunatic ancillary: "Madder than mad Jack McMad, winner of last year's Mr. Madman competition"

    or... Alchemist: "M'lord! I have succeeded in creating a nugget of purest Green!"

    or, Poet: "Quiet! can't you see I'm dying?"

    So many wasted opportunities...

    Funniest I've ever had was:

    Parrot
    Dead-Parrot

    Logic would lead me to, undoubtedly, a zombie parrot.
