We are adding over 100 new countries to EU2, but researching symbols and flags for all these nations is not easy.

If anyone have any links or pictures for any of these countries/tribes, we'd be really grateful.

Gelre, Magdeburg, Münster, Perm, Suzdal, Armenia Minor, Huron, Creek, Apache, Shawnee, Leni Lenape, Zapotec, Maya, Chimu, Kongo, Songhai, Benin, Zimbabwe, Mali, Ashanti, Manchu, Vijanyanagar, Vientiane, Laung Prabang, Taungu, Arakan.

Ok I do a lookout...
* Magdeburg can be found at Jeremy McGuinn's site
http://uk.geocities.com/jw_mcguinn/
* Armenia minor can be provided by General Suvorov, since he used it in his Byzantine saga

I'll check for some others

Can you give me the locations of the nations??
Gelre = Holland
Magdeburg & Munster = Germany

But I need the following:

Perm = ??
Suzdal = ??

Perm is Russia right?

Suzdal is in Russia. Can find info on this ancient town but no symbols/flags.

 

[unmerged(28)]

Perm = Sibiria in Russia
Suzdal = Vladimir in Russia

If there is going to be a Reuss dynasty country/province instead of the abstract "Thuringia" the Capital should be Gera. (This is where I live now )

Here is what I found... I will see if I can update it a few times...
Others pls help searching.

PERM

http://heraldry.hobby.ru/eng/e.perm.html (instituted in 1781)

SUZDAL / VLADIMIR

http://www.ngw.nl/int/rus/v/vladimir.htm
http://www.ngw.nl/int/rus/district/vladimir.htm

They are both similar, so I think it is quite appropriate

I will look further

MÜNSTER

Gelre (Guelders):

You can find Magdebourg there as well.

What Language will be used for the provinces/cities? native or English? German is: Magdeburg, Thüringen, Pfalz instead of Magdebourg, Thuringen/Thuringia, Palatinate

For Gelre try: http://www.ngw.nl/g/gelderla.htm

At the bottom of the page is an english history of the coat of arms for Gelre..

I've done some searches for the symbols of the Indian Nations but haven't come up with anything yet. Perhaps the American members can help you there. I know there is a book on the subject.
