We have updated our Community Code of Conduct. Please read through the new rules for the forum that are an integral part of Paradox Interactive’s User Agreement.
That's why battle formations varying in size and support companies seem to be the most popular option

I believe many old players and fans will agree to see military models representing military units appear in the game. Because the previous works of paradox are so excellent, there is no reason to abandon the excellent tradition. If in front of games without military models at all, new players who have not even played Victoria 2 may also feel the following "this is the battle picture? That's all? Is this a boring pure business city simulation game?"
As an old fan of Victoria, I really can't agree that there is no military model in this game!! There is no soldier model in paradox game!! oh my god

In fact, Godzilla movies are very popular, just as paradox games have always been very popular. I'm curious. Paradox almost all games of the same type are full of Godzilla with guns as you said Then why have you been playing paradox games in the past

not for the godzillas. it doesn't bother me in CK cos the scale of wars are smaller there/then.
maybe a really thick line of smoke'n'flames so you can imagine troops underneath it?

it would be cool if your military model scales in relation to the other in size in terms of troops size and that the dominant type of troop is represented in the model.. see a big guy with pitch fork and rice hat
But I wonder, will Victoria 3 have a custom nation feature like in other Paradox games?

One of the charm of paradox game is that the map can reflect the feeling like a military sand table. And has anyone ever seen a sand table without a military model on it? That's meaningless!

You're right. We need to replace the animated bunkers with big rocks!

I have to believe there's a happy medium between a wall of fire and kaiju with pickelhauben.

As an old player, I highly disagree with this. The board gamey feel of having a gigantic unit walking around was just silly and distracting in recent Paradox games. And with the way Victoria 3's warfare system is set up, so is having a bunch of small units in a formation wandering around. The way they've set up the graphics for the battles is good for showing visually that a battle is occurring without having any more distracting elements on the map.

I take my hat off to the developers of this masterpiece! Clearly 10/10. My eyes rejoice) This is way beyond my expectations! The learning system for me is the most unique of all the studio's games.
A few words about the map. At the moment, there are hubs for logging and mining of ores, and in states with a coastline, there is also a port hub. I hope that in the future there will be an oil production hub, and the live map will receive hydroelectric power stations, power lines. It seems superfluous, but it would be great to see reservoirs expanding your rivers, canals. But, I'm afraid to add all this you need to increase the map itself by 2 times, haha)
I hope that in the future, perhaps in the DLC, more architectural buildings will be added
for different cultures, such as Korean hanok style.

Also, IMO, having smaller units moving around the map slightly implies that the combat happens at that scale instead of being abstracted. And would probably require much more effort to look nice too.

I'd like to plug a proposal I made earlier, that units accumulate on the map in the leadup to a battle (and then vanish afterwards). In that case you could place troops in the exact province(s) under contention, and then you'd see the armies and borders shift after each battle.

The scale of the trains and other vehicles to the cities is inconsistent but I don't feel like that detracts from the game in any way. Unless the performance concerns of small units/formations are crippling I don't see why they should be excluded based on that principle. Having culture specific units, at least equal in number to culture specific buildings I feel would add a lot to the game. That is not to say they should be added in at launch, we're probably far too along in that timeline, but they would make a positive addition later down the line.

That seems to be the devs' main concern, specifically the performance impact of large numbers of animated people.

Well, this gives "Victoria 3 confirmed!" a whole new meaning

Am i paranoid for being worried that the game might be too resource intensive when looking at the map zoomed ?
Edit: Zoomed in i mean.
