Thanks!
And even though I do got some skills in photoshop... I'm pretty low-skilled when it comes to fantasy, so if there's anything else than having the colorscales modded, please, suggest what you've like to have redone and I'll give it a go, but please, remeber, I don't want to go to "crazy" but want to keep the general washed out look of AOD and no "extreme gfx makeover".
Thanks!
EDIT: And if there are any flags that should be re-done (like I've done with Germany,) feel free to comment that. Also, if there's interest for alternative flags (like the rising sun for Japan) as an optional, I'm ready to do that aswell, but I don't have the time to do any special request for nations that are not in the game. Once again, thanks for your input!
Excellent job, the color pallatte totally needed some tweeking (Everything was just so bright or blah).
Added some content and I'm to lazy to come up with what to write here, so I post the updated first page instead.
Also, if someone uses and enjoy my small modifications, I'm more than happy to have some thoughts on what to do next. My current plan is:
- Fix the bright colored prioritized production arrows
- Keep working on the new colorscale
- Search for incorrect and alternative flags for historical nations during AOD's timeframe.
well, here we go:

Is Britain suppose to be blue and America green? Seems like odd colors to switch to from their original ones. By the way, I had HoI2's sexxicolors for nations before this if that's any indication, but they only changed the colors to more..."darker" tones.
It would be nice to have a more distinct colorized terrain map, more pastel less bright. I find it hard to distinguish plains/desert and plains/hills.
I take it I can use Skiff DD and GIP .09 with no issues? Have not stopped to install them yet.

Hehe, yeah, I forgot to add a "A" to the country.csv. so now it replaced the current country.csv per default.
But yes, I'm planning to do an optional colorscale and countrycolours .csv. I'm one of those who mostly played with sexxicolors (where US are green) and I don't like the lightred UK and darkblue US, but I will redo the colorscale so it's a bit darker tones all the way through (not only in political, but also supply, terrain, etc) but it will be optional so that you manually have to put them in, in the next version. Sorry for the inconvience.
1. Will fix!
2. Of course!
Thanks!
You made my morning, mr wyK1NG!

Great job.
Great job.
Could I request the tricolour flag for Russia? (for the Russian revolter and the UER; Empire of Russia)
This:
?
Either convert to .bmp (you probably know the drill, hehe) or wait an hour or two until I release 0.12 before I go to work.
Others, feel free to suggest improvments like the Wookie! That really helps me a lot and hopefully, you have something for it in return aswell.
Okey, version 0.12 is ready:

Fixed the missing flags bugs, so time to release all the colonial states!
More shields! And flags too of course...
And please, please, please dear community: I'd like to fix the "new unit missing pictures bug", so if someone could please, please, please post appropriate pictures to be used as brigade pictures for:
- Railway gun

Many, many kudos to he/she who helps me with this one! Don't really know what too look for when it comes to the heavy submarines. Couldn't find a single reference to a such during WW2 on Google.

You could look for the French Surcouf (NN 3) or the Japanese I-400 Submarines.
There are Wikipedia articles for both of them as well as several pictures (mostly b&w) on Google.
Hope that helps ...
