Every time Paradox releases a new game there seem to be more and more provinces and if Victoria 3 continues that trend that raises some questions. Since most information relevant to the player is on a state level, I'm gonna venture a guess and say that provinces stay hidden unless you've clicked on a unit or something, sort of like when you click on an air base in HoI4 and it pops you into the airforce map mode.Īnyway, my point is that I'm really really curious how small the provinces will be and how that will affect the gameplay. We all know provinces are where battles take place within (or between in the case of HoI4), they've been mentioned a number of times by devs, and yet as far as I can recall they haven't actually been visible in any of the screenshots we've seen.

The thing I'm wondering about is provinces. I'm honestly not super good at warfare is any of the Paradox GSG's, the political side is usually more my speed (one of the reasons I'm so excited about this game.) Thus, I don't really know how to go about improving stuff. Yeah I definitely wouldn't say I ever really understood Victoria 2's warfare system.
