Don’t mind me just agitating for a change to the flag occupation graphic.
If it works for Vicky 2, EU4, and CK3, why not Vicky 3? In fact, since Vicky 3’s flags are arguably more dynamic than in those games (see the entire Dev Diary just about dynamic flags!) it is more important in this game than in any other that something other than the oft-changing flags be used to designate occupation.
Honestly I wouldn’t mind it except that the minuscule tessellation effect is very jarring, noisy, and “busy” compared to the map, which is either the soft, pastel watercolor far view, or the realistic, natural-toned terrain close view. Either way it is inconsistent with the map’s aesthetic and stands out like a sore thumb. Yes, the flags in Vicky 3 are cool, but the occupation graphic barely lets you tell what the flag looks like anyway. It transforms even the simple and iconic French tricolore into a crazy quilt.
A happy medium could be to use the stripe occupation, and then have a fun little graphic when you zoom into a State, showing off the occupant’s flag. This could be the flag being waved around (kind of like the current Turmoil graphic), or just a static terrain feature (a big ass flag sticking out of the land/an occupied city).
Or, crazy thought, a game setting. Please?
