Also my suggestion. Like in Victoria. Please!

For example if the coup 1944 was successful then the nazi flag would change and the name switch to the normal before 1933.

Or in Russia... etc. :)

Doesn't it already happen...? I tried once to coup the US (still in HoI2, no DD nor Arma), succeeded and IIRC the US changed flag (took a similar-confederate one, very funny). Also, not sure if they changed name but they probably did, becoming the "Confederated States of America" (lol). To arms, and conquer peace for Dixie! :D

Confederate States of America is a country in the game that can be released. its like DFR and DDR or Russia. All separately coded countries that can appear in the game instead of an existing one.

I support this. There's really no reason to oppose putting it into the game 'cept for time constraints.

Change name of nation and nations flag via event?
Possibile, may be possible now or in the future or won't happen?

It's a wet dream in my head at least. :cool:

Already is possible. :)

As long as another country exists in the database, you can switch the nation to it.

I cannot remember the command off the top of my head. It is a command that changes the country_tag to whatever you like pretty much. I did that for Sweden, forming Scandinavia, without losing the divisions, resources, tech, ect. I imagine if you could do the same for another country.

I cannot remember if you get to keep the tech teams/ministers/leaders of the base nation though.

TAG changing in HoI2 is supposedly buggy in some way. I fully support TAG changing for AoD.

Changing the nation was possible in HOI2 as well even though it was rather buggy, IIRC...

But what I propose or vision, it to have an event say:

"The communists have seized power in the latest election and declared that the new, official name for Germany is "Germany SSR" and this is the new flag"

Without having to change tag... This works well both for flavour as well as gameplay since I can't see a reason for having to switch to another tag once a countrys domestic policies changes and seperate tags (like DFR, DDR) should only be used as revolters in case of civil wars, puppets, etc..

Obviously tag-changing is possible in all Paradox games but this has always had issues such that they recommend saving and reloading as soon as possible after doing so. Changing names and flags without changing tags would be an improvement. EU2 allowed changing flags but AFAIK no Paradox game changes names without changing tags (aside from possibly adding things like 'Empire of' or 'Kingdom of').
