Flags Needed...Again

[Heresson]

Just TRY to put Poland under Russia's thumb...

Well, since there was never an official Warsaw Pact flag to begin with, I've given you three variants of a "post Warsaw Pact" flag, in addition to my own variation of Curt's original WARPAC flag from Soviet Steel. I also threw in the Polish flag for the heck of it, being the prominent Warsaw Pact nation.

Thanks a lot Sarsstock! Good work as always! BTW, what's the square flag slot you've been adding of late used for?

[Sarsstock]

Just trying to shake things up a bit, give everyone a new shield style. Now if you just paste it ontop of the normal shield in the units.gif you'll be one pixel too short, which will lead to afew coloured pixels showing through below. The solution is to reshape the master shield on the top corner to be a square as well.

Neat enough idea! Have you looked at vodkakov's submarine graphics and data on the other thread. Let me know what you think.

Here are some flags from a proposed scenario, a gigamap scenario based on the book "How Few Remain", which was also made into a scenario by Our_Man. Hopefully this scenario will get off the ground some day soon.

Sarsstock, don't mean to bother you, but may I have a Taiwanese flag please?

[Sarsstock]

No bother at all my friend, I threw in the flag of China as its hard to imagine any scenario that involves Taiwan not having China as well.

heh heh, thanks

Say, Sarsstock, I've heard there's a separate variant of the Union Jack that was used for the British Empire as a whole (as opposed to the Home Islands; an earlier equivalent of the Commonwealth flag you gave me earlier) that had a golden crown in the center. If this is true, and you can find this flag, could you make one up for me?

[Sarsstock]

Well, I seem to remember hearing about such a flag myself, though I too have never seen it. Do you have any idea how big this crown in the flags center was? Knowing that would go a long way in rendering it out properly.

[Patine]

I'm not really certain myself, though maybe there's a website of historical flags that has it. I'll take a look tonight.

[curtsibling]

Zounds!

Some superb work on this thread!

[Sarsstock]

Thanks Curt, that means allot comming from a civ II master like yourself. Say, you wouldn't have happened to see this old "Empire Flag" would you have? The Union Jack with the golden crown in the center? We just have to figure out how big the crown in the middle of the jack is.

In any event, here's a compilation of Scandinavian flags plus Finland.

As far as I know there was no 'Empire' flag. Each part of the Empire had it's own flag, often a variation on the Union flag. You may be thinking of this one which was used by India when it was part of the Empire and had a crown and the Star of India at it's centre:
