New Graphics

Now, when the tag list has been partly finished and the countries that are listed there are to be added I thought it was time to list the new flags and shields that is needed. Please complain and come with suggestions.

When you see this (unsure) it means that I don't know when the flag came into use. If we can't find any other flag - or info on the particular flag listed, I suggest we use the flag listed.

I'm quite worthless at doing new flags and shield, so if anyone is interested in designing these it would be appreciated.

Flags found at: FOTW Flags of the World
Not yet found:
Bastar
Deseret
Berar
Ibadan
Ivory Coast
Sokoto

Punjab
Sind
Egypt
Oregon

I'll check these out myself later.

Styrbiorn · Mar 8, 2002

That's great.

unmerged(6603) · Mar 8, 2002

EDIT: My appoligies.. it just seemed like you were posting something that didn't really have a point.. my bad.

Styrbion, what about the other central american revolters that are going to be added?

Styrbiorn · Mar 8, 2002

I'm working on it.

And BTW, it was I who begged King James to take a look, as he has created a wonderful flag mod (check GD).

Chema_Cagi · Mar 8, 2002

Mad King James, great work with your flags mod!!

Here's a link to a discussion about the flags of Castile, Aragon and Spain. There are some flags and coat-of-arms images pasted over there

discussion about Spain, Castile and Aragon flags, with images

Mad King James · Mar 9, 2002

Actually I got Jeremy to make me a Florida Flag when he was still making flags. I guess I should ask permission to use it. I did use it for my crappy Florida Scenario for EU1.

Mad King James · Mar 9, 2002

ahh what the heck, I'll see what I can do

Vulture · Mar 9, 2002

James, if you COULD do it, I would be sooooooooo happy... We need TONS of flags and shields. Let me know and I'll tell which we need...

Vulture · Mar 9, 2002

Note that the list of Styrbiorn is not yet complete, Argentina and Brazil for example are not on it.

Styrbiorn · Mar 9, 2002

Don't we need them all?

And BTW, if I forgot something tell me and I'll add it on the list. Note that these flags are only suggestions, as many nations used different flags during the time frame. Some nations, like Germany, Italy, Norway, Spain, Belgium etc, need the flag listed here as they only used that flag.

Vulture · Mar 9, 2002

Yes we do need them all... Can you copy your list here and that way we can add links for flags easily. Keep it all centered in one post so that James or whoever wants to do it can find them easily.

Styrbiorn · Mar 9, 2002

I'll be off for two weeks tonight so it would be better if someone else took care of it. Else just let it be here and add new flags in your first post in the thread.

Vulture · Mar 9, 2002

Styrbiorn · Mar 9, 2002

I'm sorry, but I have to comment that list. Many of those flags were not used until the mid or late 20th century, you must note the adoption date of the flags. For example is that Cuban flag from 1902, Egyptian from 1984 and the Croatian from 1990.

Mad King James · Mar 9, 2002

not only that, the serbian flag in the game is the real serbian flag, that one is the YUGOSLAVIAN flag! And I like the one with the sun on it better for Cuba

This might take a while...

Vulture · Mar 9, 2002

Ok do as you deem necessary

I am not a flag expert

Mad King James · Mar 9, 2002

I have to be the biggest flag nerd on earth, why else would I feel so bothered by the old muslim flags?
