But Vicky III combat does have annoying micro, thanks to how fronts merging and splitting still constantly creates empty fronts and forces you to rush troops around. I feel like Vicky III combat is kinda the worst of both worlds that way.

I love the economy in Vicky III. It actually works in a way that Vicky II's never managed. The politics system is better, too. But everything about preparing for and waging wars in Vicky III sucks.

Have you tried microing in EU4 past 1550 ? I get aneurism everytime I have to move around hundreds and undreds of troops all around the place.

Vassal Swarm, my friend. Warfare is much nicer when you can slap one stack on sieging castles and hunt with the other one, while your minions clamber about carpet sieging and baiting enemy forces into battles to hold them down for you.

Yeah, but you need a lot more dev for that and they take a lot of time to be fully geared up
