And will we see flags only for European states or also for non-European (like Ottomans)?

Beacuse it was promised in the release of 1.8 that in the next patch we will have it. Unfotunately, the next patch was reported as bug fixing patch, but I hope flags will be encountered as part of the patch also.

they made noises back during the AOW dev diaries that more rev. flags will pop up in 1.9 iirc

How is Ottomans non-European while it was called the sickman of Europe and its capital located in Europe :D

Because the Ottomans had conquered their way into Europe. It wasnt until after WW1 that they started using the latin script, and is today counted as European due to NATO.

I find it a great idea. It would even be more interesting if the concept was expanded and flags could be tied to certain government forms. Like what happens in Victoria.

For instance, Tuscany at the game start is a republic (Republic of Florence), yet it already wrongly uses the later Medici coat of arms. When Milan switches its government type to the Ambrosian Republic, it should also get a different flag.

Milan (Republic):

Dynamic tags/flags needed to be in the game since day one. If they're introduced by the next patch then paradox might actually have an excuse for staying silent for weeks after 1.8.1.

Cyprus is historicly greek-culture oriented and so european. Having a capitol in geographic europe doesnt mean that you are european. I will not point fingers but I hope we all understand who am I talking about.
Still not europe.

Kazakhstan's capital is in Europe? :unsure:

A chunk of the country, larger than turkey, is in europe.

Given that this is a bug fix patch and this feature would require adding at least one new flag for every country in the game, I highly doubt it'll come so soon. Trying to fit in massive new features like this would just delay the necessary bug fixes and interface improvements from the patch and make it more likely for 1.9 to introduce new bugs.

I'd just like to point out that "Europe" as a concept is an utterly arbitarily delineated area with no real meaning.
But yes, I definitely recall Wiz saying that dynamic flags were planned for the future.

A chunk of the country, larger than turkey, is in europe.

Yet you said, "by that logic". His logic was that the Ottomans were referred to as European and had their capital in Europe. By that logic you couldn't determine Kazakhstan to be a European country because they don't fulfill either of those requirements. :p

All modern historians who study the Ottoman Empire characterize it as being primarily a European state.

In any case, this is off topic so let's get back on track.
