Wow... those flags look really cool. Can't wait for this mod to become available to the general public.

It must be pretty, those EastAsian workers have to be efficient and entertained....not everyone has a Big Brother:D

Edit: With the new patch coming in, I'll have to leave some of the projects in the air, just to check out the changes....but don't worry, this mod is still my only life:D :D :D

...from an idea at the Great War Forum

Edit: Before anyone asks, those "red things" are actually the three party slogans....I wanted to do them more artistic....besides this is the JPEG type....the BMP looks a little readable (which isn't actually quite a great thing, I like it more this way, strange, samizdat-like)

To prove this mod will become a reality some time later:D


The middle part is left for the menu....I can't find the file image of the loading screen...this is where I wanted to make the Orwellian page....

[hint at the mods....I surely would like our own forum, because in this state, all we can do is make some proposals, then other proposals...in the same page, without much initiative]

Well, they're not supposed to be evil and all-controlling. Big Brother is portrayed by every single bit of propaganda as being a great guy, and a great guy with an imposing flag would seem kind of incompatible. I think the flags should stay as they are.

Yeah they're nice (plus the only ones we have till this moment:D )

Any ideas for the portait of Big Brother? I heard that Richard Burton played in a 1984 movie....I'm guessing starring as Winston

An idea - Mabye the Slave States should be split into several minor powers, like India, a pan-Arab alliance of some sort, and a united African nation.

One other thing-if it hasn't been thought of already-: to make the slave states more conquest-worthy after they have been conquered by one power, make the provinces all have really high resource values, so they'll be drawn to the provinces like AI's to Styria in EU.

Of course this is the only way to go. It has been proposed (by me...well no, actually by Orwell:D ) and it is a good idea. Fat and happy Big Brother? No, let's put him to work...war and slavery:D


I don't want to split the Slave Territories....but if this is so important for you, maybe we should make a poll

I think it would be a good idea if you included the image below in the loading screen.

This can also be oceania's propaganda poster.

And please no. We are not going to split up the slave territories. No vote! This is not a democracy! :rolleyes:

Yeah :D but as an almighty, serene, paternal figure not as some kind of party animal...

Orwell seems to believe, and I agree, that people tend to respect the proverbial firm hand - there's nothing warm and friendly about the image of Big Brother, his character is totally ambiguous but vaguely ominous - he may well not 'exist' - though Winston, with O'Brien's help, comes to realise that doesn't matter. But people love him AND fear him. Remember, Eastasia's ideology is supposed to be 'Death Worship'. How morbid do you want it?

It's not Death Worship, it's more closely translated as "the Obliteration of the Self." 2 different things.

Ok, that poster really freaked me out! And half of Oceania with me! Couldn't we find some other image? It looks like Darth Vader as Big Freakish Brother! I hoped to see a simple man, with a benevolent look, a quite nice guy!! Not a Helmet Creepo!:D

Well actually thats a "real" poster for 1984. In the first chapter winston says that he saw a poster that said "He's watching you." And described it like the above poster. Sorry. No where in 1984 does he descibe a poster showing big brother in a benevolent poster or a nice guy or anything you have mentioned.
From Chapter 1-
On each landing, opposite the lift-shaft, the poster with the enormous face gazed from the wall. It was one of those pictures which are so contrived that the eyes follow you about when you move. BIG BROTHER IS WATCHING YOU, the caption beneath it ran.

there seemed to be no colour in anything, except the posters that were plastered everywhere. The blackmoustachio’d face gazed down from every commanding corner. There was one on the house-front immediately opposite. BIG BROTHER IS WATCHING YOU, the caption said, while the dark eyes looked deep into Winston’s own

Then, how about a gray-scaled version of it...black and white...I think it would add a little extra personality?

...still downloading 1.05:rolleyes:

And for the last time, leave Goldstein in his little cabin off Tahiti! Let's not split his dreams of democracy:D with petty talk about the divided Slave Lands;)
