In EU4, armies and navies had visually distinct icons, which made them easier to distinguish at a glance (opposite symmetry, different shapes of CoA/flags).
In EU5, they currently look much more similar.
This might be inconvenient at higher zoom levels if it stays this way.

  • I suggest placing the flag on the right side of the navy icon, at the very least. Similarly to EU4.
  • Also, maybe consider using a dark blue box color for navies?

This post gave me a flashback to similar feedback about pre release EU4, when navies used the same icon as armies. In case anyone else has a desire to confirm their flashback, EU4 dev diary 34 from 12 years ago confirmed that navies would change icon to flags.

It does leave hope that the navy icon of EU5 can be changed as well. I agree that the clear distinction in EU4 is useful.
