Wiz listens to fans for 1.12 (info from his twitter)

[Korashy]

I heard france also starts out as Emperor with Castile PU'd and ottoman vassal.

Speaking of weird flags in my games has been christian Ottomans, Egypt and Syria... Looks retarded with Moon flags on christian states, same goes for cross flags on Islamic states..
Thankfully modding them doesn't change checksum.

I understand Wiz is trying to be funny but if you say everything in sarcastic tone, then people don't know if you are still joking or not. Will Germany get a new flag? I have no idea, France mil 10 is obviously a "joke" but the others? Don't overdo your puns Wiz or they stop being funny tbh.

All of the changes are serious except for the zero to four one(s) that are joking.

A pun is a specific kind of joke, and to my memory I've never seen Wiz make one. Let's use our words precisely, shall we? I wouldn't like to see "pun" go the way of "proverb"/"apophthegm"/"aphorism"/"adage"/"maxim"/"dictum" etc.

Hmmm... just to be clear, what way, exactly, did "apophthegm" go?

Finally the Reich-Turkey is dead.

 

[Wizzington]

Seriously though, for people without a sense of comedic rhythm: Only the France thing is a joke.

That's not very punny.

Well, to be fair, the crescent wasn't originally a Muslim symbol and the Ottoman flag we all know was Constantinople's one, iirc.

Well, I learned a new word! So this weird joke diversion served a useful purpose.

 

[Galaahd]

Great news.

The same way all of them went—the way of not-having-a-clear-distinction-of-meaning-being-drawn-in-common-usage.

 

[Shatterfury]

What flag will Germany get ? The one they have now is quite ok, I don`t see the problem with it.

Edit. Nerver mind, it`s not the the flag from EU 4 wiki.

Probably a more sort of imperial looking and less chickeny.

Ah... I think my argument would be that "apophthegm" is largely excluded from the discussion when dealing with "in common usage." e.g. -->

Jest aside, I get your point. "Maxim" is used to describe far more things that aren't maxims than are. Proverbs too.

The current one has a direct link to the HRE flag, alluding the continuance.Maybe the eagle itself can be more imposing but I don`t see what is the matter with the current one.

In fact, the eagle shown on in game Germany`s flag is the Prussian one minus the sword, crown etc.

 

[GoguRomania]

And maybe in 1.13 buff Austria? One patch goes for France, the other to Austria. Maybe give them two heirs at once?

 

[Hari ganesh]

Please show us the new german flag tomorrow with the map teaser please.

 

[staycool.]

Achievement for Serbia damn it!

Pish tosh, I use "apophthegm" every day, and I'm just an Appalachia farmboy who has never even seen a book, much less a computer screen.
