OMG, pics!

They are awesome!

The more we see of the map the better it gets... and period's images are great! In fact, I don't know if Paradox's been too impulsive taking the 'Lee against British' as final cover...

P.S. Of course, a yellow Prussia can't be definitive

I also wish to register my displeasure at yellow Prussia. Not that it particularly matters but I am somewhat attached to Vicky country colors

Though the Prussian blue even if historically correct never was easy on my eyes though. Yellow aint fitting well too. Maybe swap Austria nd Prussias colours. The yellow would fit Austria - Schönbrunner Geld was the colour of choice for Austrian public buildings in the early part of the game, so it fits quite well.

Is there a pun here i missed

Well it was blue in Vicky one

It's a poison, and beloved by German nationalists. Reading AARs about painting Europe with Prussian Blue just feels really wrong. I don't think I can explain it any better without overstepping forum guidelines.

i Like Yellow Prussia, is not bad.
I really like all of this screenshot and the graphic style of the game, great historical pics also.

How dare you try to make white Austria yellow, a white Austria is the only eligible choice!

Indeed. Just look at what happened when in EU3 Paradox decided to make Austria red, of all colors!

 

[Txini]

Yellow Prussia?!?!??! but the map looks great. Is it just me or are there less German minors?

Of the ones of Vicky 1 I'm able to find all in the map, so no, no less German Minors, Also see place (provinces) for appearance of Strelitz and Hohenzollern that would be minor but funny additions

It appears that the Prussian Rhineland state has been split in two.

And the Danish island of Bornholm(in the Baltic) has been included, for the first time in a Paradox game i think.

Plus The Channel isles and Heligoland too, at that time under British rule.

Bornholm was in HOI2 and CK, and the Channel Isles were included in HOI3. This is, though, the first time Paradox has included Heligoland IIRC.

map looks awesome this is going to make my next few years

Prussia has the color of piss.

I love the concept art pics.

EDIT: Though I miss some cool revolution themed concept art.

The (anachronistic) soviet naval flag being raised above the Aurora isn't revolutionary enough?

My suggestions for colours would be:

UK - Pink (as in V1)
France - Violet (as in V1)
Prussia - Prussian blue (it's called Prussian blue for a reason)
Germany - (grey ofcourse)
Austria - (to make it distinct from the German grey, it should be a soft yellow. I think the German yellow in the screen would work well with our little dual monarchy)
Finland - gets the white
Sweden - the exact blue as seen on the Swedish flag
Ireland - should be emerald
Belgium - a less poop shade of brown

It's...beautiful!

I want it!

 

[Bezborg]

Why would the UK be pink? I've always hated pink, in Vicky and in life Pink is a horrible colour and it suits nothing but blown brains in cartoons...
If anything UK should be red... (Soviet Russia is too late for the colour scheme to be important from the beginning of the game)


and this:

Finland - gets the white

... as if Finland was a major player in the period (or any) for it to "get the white"... (exclusively I presume?)

Lol

Because the UK is and has always been associated with the color pink in the minds of many Paradoxians and mapmakers overall.

Indeed... I still say red is much better, and I'm betting British minds would concur
