I assume it's just a nation-specific icon for your capital. I've seen the Eiffel Tower in the Paris province, too.

Oh really? I thought the NDA prohibited them, but that's cool if they can talk about some stuff too.

This is looking to be one of the greatest strategy games ever! :) Even though EU2 is one of my favorite games of all time, Victoria seems to surpass it judging from what I've seen so far.

One thing though, what's the deal with budget figures to the left being in $, while there's an £-sign in the top statusbar? ;) Obviously we need an exchange rate. :D

plus, many people are asking that such and such map mistake be fixed, thats all very well, but those people are only concerned about their country/region/province...you have to remember that the world is a pretty large place and vicky shows it all...so if theres 1 or 2 slight mistakes, well, noones perfect even if we sometimes think p'dox is.

I hope that, to keep in line with the previous paradox games, the capital icon is changeable. Maybe I don't like the Eiffel tower and want to put Sacré-Coeur in instead. Or maybe some country doesn't have a specific icon and some national wants to include that very special monument.

Ah and a wish for the political map. Please give prussia/germany the field grey back. Blue looks a bit irritating for me. More a color for france in my opinion ;)
