I don't know if anyone else has done an accurate flag for Scotland, but the one which comes with vanilla and remained after I installed AGCEEP is just wrong. Enjoy!

This flag is post 1512. The one that comes with AGCEEP is accurate for 1419.
Not even, I think the blue saltire (without red) only came into use in the 18th century.
According to Wikipedia
Worldstatesmen.org put the date of the use as the Saltire as a flag of Scotland as 1512 which coincides with this information from Flags of the World:

Yes, making the entire topic, somewhat moot
The Royal coat of arms of Scotland is probably the best flag for Scotland.

The king is the only man in Scotland who is technically allowed to fly the royal arms though, just like the flag of the United Kingdom is legally only allowed to be flown over the Queen's residence today.

Well then what flag should we use then? We can't use the Blue Saltire (too late) and we can't use the Royal Standard (only the king can use that). There is historical evidence that prove the use of the Cross of Saint Andrew though, the oldest signifcant and widespread use is from 1385 which desribes a White Slatire on a Black field.
If anyone is interested and/or has the feel to write some text about the use of the new flag, here is what I did with the French flag:Mad King James said:
Code:
# Bourbon White Flag
# By Bordic, based on Fodoron's SPA Modern Flag event
# Many thanks to Jarl Birger for his graphics
event = {
id = 170038
random = no
country = FRA
name = "EVENTNAME170038" #A new flag for France
desc = "EVENTHIST170038"
#-#
date = { day = 1 month = january year = 1638 }
offset = 90
deathdate = { day = 1 month = january year = 1647 }
action_a = {
name = "ACTIONNAME170038A" #Change the flag of both naval and land units
command = { type = treasury value = -5 }
command = { type = flagname which = Bourbon }
}
action_b = {
name = "ACTIONNAME170038B" #Keep the old flag of both naval and land units
command = { type = vp value = -5 }
}
}EVENTNAME170038;A new flag for France;;;;;;;;;;
EVENTHIST170038;Introduced firstly in 1632 as the distinguishing banner of the French Royal Navy's high commander, the new Royal Standard was white with a semy of yellow fleur-de-lys and the shield of France placed in the middle. After 1638 it became the favourite Royal banner and since then it was hoisted on all French warships and fortresses. White was the color of he House of Bourbons, and it was the color of the Virgin Mary, to whom the Kingdom of France was consecrated by Louis XIII. But it was also the color of Joan of Arc, under whose banner the English were finally driven out of the Kingdom. Although King Henri IV was the first to start changing the golden-lilied blue flag for the white flag early in 1598, the blue field finally disappeared from French flags completely with Louis XIV.;;;;;;;;;;
But with the new provided flag one shoud make a copy of the current Scottish shield in gfx/map/shields folder and smallshield as follows:
Code:
shield_scoSaltire.bmp
smallshield_scoSaltire.bmp
Code:
flag_scoSaltire.bmp
Code:
command = { type = flagname which = Saltire }EDIT: that command line changes all three CoA bmps: shields, smallshields and flags. That is why I suggested to rename copies of current shields if the aim is to modify the flag only!

I liked those, they look cool. But as said, Kaigon is very good of what he is doing

It's not
The one included in patches 1.00 - 1.05 is looking better:pdubz said:I don't know if anyone else has done an accurate flag for Scotland, but the one which comes with vanilla and remained after I installed AGCEEP is just wrong. Enjoy!
