Unique faction fonts

[bornog]

What happened to the unique fonts that each faction had for country names on the map back in HOI III? Allies got a sort of arial, Axis was kinda gothic and Comintern was a really cool faux-cyrillic.

I always thought they were a really cool way of showing faction members at a glance so I'm wondering why they were removed (unless they are hidden away in some screenshot I have yet to see). Thanks guys!

Edit: picture showing Commie Mongolia, Axis Japan & friends, and Allied China showing different fonts

In what I've seen if I remember correctly the names of countries are in different colours. The Axis was black, the allies blue and the comintern red. It serves the same purpose, but is more clear and faster to see at a glance

I can't seem to find any screenshot like that. The only indication of faction membership on the map that I can find is a map mode that displays all factions on map (and possibly uses leading country to determine color?) but it still requires a new map mode.

Since there are (potentially) more than three factions now doesn't that not really work?

Font color would work well,. There are enough distinct colors in the palette, and for those with visual difficulties they presumably could be varied.

But is the good idea implemented.

P.S. I have liked the font approach about 80% of the time with HOI3, and think different fonts are still a good idea, but color works.

China still around in 41????? 3 years late! NO faction font for you!

I suppose that may be a reason but then could the font not be determined by ideology instead? Still only 3 of those, 4 including non-aligned
