Remember you'll have to delete default files flagfiles.dds and flagfiles.txt manually to avoid errors showing only blank flags.

Some of the flags look a bit too flat and EU3 vanilla-ish compared to your victoria 2 flags Maybe add some ripple effect like the ones in VIC2?

(Maybe it's the lighting?)

[minefield]

When I made to flags for Victoria many people were complaining about the filter. I got some PM where they were asking me for unfiltered flags.

After all I decided not to add a filter like in Victoria 2 because of the additional possibilities of ingame-filtering. The shield in the topbar has it's own filter for the flags and maybe I can implement an overlay for the flags of the troops like in Victoria 2. The flags of EU3 are actually coat of arms and not flags - so using the same filter doesn't seem to be appropriate in my opinion...

[Cainrae]

I guess you have a point. Maybe you could provided some ingame screenshot? Maybe it will lure people more than just the plain flags

The lion on some of the COA's might be a bit sharp on the edges, maybe smoothen the edges a bit to make i look more natural?

[minefield]

I'll see what I can do about the edges of the lions

Screenshots will come, thanks!

Btw: Do you know something about the danish len? I made a map of denmark divided into herred posted here but never found any funded information about the len...

[Cainrae]

To be honest i think a lot of the communes current coat of arms range back to the middle ages. Atleast for the cities that existed back then.

You could try that link, it has from A-Z I can help you with the translation if needed

[minefield]

thats some nice site for the arms of the herred. thank you! unfortunately the herred are way to small to show up in EU3...

I need arms and maps of the len, what seems to be impossible to find.

[Cainrae]

http://da.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skabelo...en_indtil_1662 : At list of Len's in Denmark. It's only names but may be of use.

http://www.fynhistorie.dk/files/hist...22.preview.jpg

That's a map from 1522, hope you can use that

Translated text in the upper right conner:

Red: Financial-len under bourgeois lens-men (len owners)
Pink: Financial-len under noble lens-men (len owners)
Dark Green: Noble mortage-len
Green: Noble service and tax len
Dark Red: Property of the church
Orange: Mortage-len of the church
Bright Yellow: Ejler Byrskes and Mogens Gøyens len (In Jutland) Henrik Gøyens (In Zealand) and Johan Wezes (In Skåne)

I'm not sure who Ejler Byrske, Mogens Gøyen, Henrik Gøyen and Johan Weze were and what part they played in danish politics, but they must have had some kind of influence to be mentioned by name on the map.

[minefield]

updated. 47 new flags added.

[Cainrae]

Great looking flags so far

[minefield]

once again updated. I applied a filter and lighting. Does it look better now?

edit: I forgot to update the flag of Baden. I will fix this soon.

[Cainrae]

Definitely looks a lot better now! Downloading

[minefield]

just a minor update adding 16 new flags and a fixed flag of Baden.

[EMT0]

I'm just waiting for a more complete version to be released before I download this. Don't want to have to keep track of everything I download when I compile stuff from a variety of mods into my own person thing. Beautiful work though.

[minefield]

Thanks for the comment!

As long as I know that there is some interest in this flagmod, I'll be further developing it.

[ThePutty]

I dunno why you think this mod isn't very good, I think it looks absolutely awesome. I really don't wanna see this die at all

[Scocou]

Hey great flags, I just started using them and consider it a nice little improvement.

They work fine if you want to play using SRI, just copy-to & overwrite the \mod\SRI\gfx\flags folder and you're good to go.

Thanks for your efforts, cheers!

[Oorlog]

These flags have a nice texture.

[DanubianCossak]

Good work Minefield.

May i please include your flags in my mod, with full credits of course?

And would you be willing to create a few more, since i added some countries that do not exist in vanilla EU3?
