Thanks Gurli, but I suggest you redownload all the shields since I didn't include flags with them. I finally got MKJ's flag template working, so now all shield sets have flags included.

The Modena shield seems to be that of the Este family. Do you have a source for it in colour? I am looking for a usable one for my dynasty list for Crusader Kings...

here's a new set, without the greenish background and a flag

Aetius, that link has all of the shields of Modena throughout the years.

hmm, that is a good site, but unfortunately almost every shields colorscale is wrong...

I know. I've always liked that symbol, Why couldn't Hitler just used another one?

Birger,

I tried using the set you kindly created for me by replacing another nation's set with it, but it didn't entirely work. A small shield appeared on the set-up screen like it should, but no small CB shields did within the actual game. Also, whichever shield is used to access the DP sliders screen didn't work. And the flag loaded fine, but it seems that it's a dark teal color rather than the green on the avatars.

Is there anything I might be doing wrong with the failed loading or is the problem with the graphics themselves? And could you correct the flag coloration?

 

[Birger]

sure i'll redo the flag, no prob.
i'll try the set of my own to see the problem...

 

[unmerged(6603)]

I deleted my post...

thank you for your understanding, I just wanted to head off any potential problems before they happened, thats all.

 

[Birger]

cretan flag

for the a.o.n.-
i can't post attachments, so here's an address for a cretan flag during the 1898-1913 time period when she was semi-autonomous:

http://www.ace.unsw.edu.au/fotw/flags/gr-crete.html

also, i figure that most of you would know more heraldry sites than i, so i was hoping if someone knew what the banner of st. titus looks like. the reason i'm asking is because of a successful (and one of many) cretan revolt against venice that happened just before euII. they used the flag of st. titus, st. titus being the first archbishop of the island.

thanks,
stephanos

Venice

Thought I'd appeal to the Grand Request Thread as well as Mr. Jarl's personal forum. Here's what I posted there:

***
Wondered if you'd be interested in improving upon the current Venetian shield; it's a country that sticks around for most games, and the current graphics leave something to be desired (just a simple lion, no book/detail). I figure that it'll be something people would be interested in downloading.

A few links to give you ideas:

http://www.ac-grenoble.fr/Euronews/news1/flag.htm
(scroll down a bit for B&W sketch)

http://www.fotw.ca/images/it-snmrc.gif
(flag version, with sword instead of book, this would be flag at wartime)

***

Would love t'see what y'all can do with a new Venetian shield, if you're interested, and I'm sure I wouldn't be alone.

P.S.- Though the Venetian FLAG seems all right in the game, there's always room for improvement, and it is a pretty banner, IMHO. A few more sites:

(I figure MKJ might appreciate the odd shape, after his sweet Uzbek flag )

 

[Mad King James]

I actually gave this a shot, but the fine details get lost in the tiny size. I've still got the flag kicking around though.

These might be useful for Crusader Knights:
Savoy

Montferrat

D'Hauteville
