Is it even possible to do these? It seems like the British would overrun them each time, which of course shouldn't be the case.

We'll have to see how easy it is for the British to ship troops to the region and how the combat engine works.
Im also curious as to how the flag situation will work.
I think that something should be built in where the flag changes when certain leaders take power.

That would get to confusing, Paradox will most likely use the most commong flag associated with that nation during the time frame.
.. you dont seem to realise how many times flags changed.
and it most certainly will have to be done for the US.
Might not be a perfect soultion but I would have to agree having the flag change all the time would just be confusing. As to the afgan wars - the Brits were able to defeat them just not keep them under control. Not sure how that would be done.
The British didn't WANT to annex Afghanistan.
They wanted Afghanistan in between the two countries as a buffer.
I just had a rare stroke of genius!
Being able to set your "policy" towards that nation. Including wether you want to keep that country allive, what for, your attitude towards them, etc.

Wouldn't a puppet function or a 'set up new 'free' goverment' under the peace options work? Still it would be great to have a diplomatic model giving you the options you mention. Although keeping a country 'alive' should be covered by treaties, no?
Modelling the Afghan wars are no problem: Give the provinces their historical revolt rate and the Brits their historical policies.
that's precisely why it shoudln't be implemented. Too much work and no practical gain for gameplay mechanism. US alone had several dozen changes of flag design...
for Afghanistan the revolt rate should be close to 100%. Let's see how the Brits can hold on to them.
Changing flags would be cool but is IMHO for in the purpose of the game totally unimportant.
I think there should be at least four "levels" of colonization from "settler colony" (Australia, Algeria etc) to directly administrated "crown colony" (Ceylon, Kenya, Gold Coast) to indirectly ruled "protectorate"(Zanzibar, Northern Nigeria, Indian States, Khiva, Bokhara) to completely self-governing "vassals" (Oman, Malay States, Nepal).
Theres also the issue with the 1916 Irish revolution.. Ireland is so close to England the UK is almost assured victory..
As would have been the case were it not for those pesky Germans! Having said that, a succesful military solution to the uprising would have done nothing for the image of the British Government.
There was Irish revolution? I thought some nut jobs just took over a post office or something.
Afghanistan could have been kept under control with a more hostile occupation like kill all Afghans on site or something... Oh well Afghan wars weren't much of a biggy.
