National management simulation game <빅토리아 3>An early “pigtail controversy” arose. This is because illustrations of the Korean “Donghak Peasant Movement” event depict people wearing Chinese clothes and braids.

The screenshot that sparked the controversy was released directly by developer Paradox Interactive through the developer diary on 2. DLC that improves diplomatic content <세력권>This was a post introducing content to add to (Sphere of Influence).
Indeed, the illustration <빅토리아 3> This is one of the basic illustrations included in this story. It is not a new drawing to express the Donghak peasant movement and is assumed to be an insertion of existing Asian illustrations.
However, it seems difficult to avoid criticism from users. The goal is to implement each country’s historical events into game events and ultimately engage in a fierce diplomatic war based on those events. <세력권> Because it’s the core of the DLC, even though it’s an illustration of the Asian region, it undermines immersion.
Furthermore, this is not the only “historic mistake” made by Paradox Interactive.

Although the explanation why Donghak occurs in the game is because the terrain in the game is not implemented in detail, the fact that the “Heaven Through Patience” event is triggered when the “Dojo Shinwon Movement” event is completed is a clear translation error. It seems that ‘Innaecheon’ (人乃天), the main idea of Donghak, has been translated as Innaecheon (忍耐天).
Paradox Interactive’s simulation game has a large fan base because it lets you create a virtual story. However, the historical evidence of real history that forms the background of the game must be preserved. <세력권> Since the DLC is scheduled for release on June 25, it is unclear whether any changes will be possible.
Queen Min (Empress Myeongseong) was also criticized mainly for wearing clothes that did not match her status.
