As the swastika won´t be used I´m only wondering what the flag is they are using? (it´s been showed in some of the screenies)

Any history or other information will be appreciated. :)

Most likely it will be the iron cross. Don't worry though. You can do what I am going to do. Edit the graphics and put the swastikas in the game. Well, I am not going to do that myself, but someone will I am sure. :)

While indeed there will be no swastikas in the game as it would violate laws of various countries, it can be said that a historical flag will be used, not a fantasy product.

But the screenies already show what flag will be used as the german flag!

I´ve seen it before (in Close Combat) and I´d like someone to tell me something more about it. :)

Please bear in mind that trhe screenies are from a beta of the game. Some things, esp. graphics (like terrain) might and will be changed. :)

And I assure you that there will be no fantasy flag (swastika replaced by Iron Cross) in the game. So I'll take the wager. :)

Disappointing in the realm of historical accuracy....


Anyway, hopefully Paradox will send an explaination to game reviewers that it's illegal to display the swastika in some countries as there's bound to be some reviewers who will bring it up.

Isn't it amazing how something as simple as a swastika, which was origianlly a sighn of good luck, can be outlawed by some countries. I'm trying to think of what else holds such hate and perverse thoughts as that of the swastika. Maybe to some the Southern States Stars an Bars battle flag. However, when I see that I think of the Civil War, not slavery and oppression, as Al Sharpton, in my opinion a complete moron, would say.
