Flags Needed...Again

[Patine]

While I'm here, does anyone know the name of the Persian ruler when Ghengis Khan was sacking his empire?

[Sarsstock]

Sadly I tried to find your Korean and Moghul flag and once again had no luck. If you or anyone else could just find a reference I'd be glad to make one up, but aside from the Flagspot website I really don't know where else to look.

@Patine:
'Persian' ruler could be Mohamed Aladdin (Khwarezmian), or Mohammed II (if you prefer Ismailites"Hashishin").
however you can find him (or any others) here:

Hope could be useful.

@Sarsstock, I appreciate you trying to find those flags (I didn't realize they were so hard to come by), and I'll try to find someone who might know what they look like (If I can find them in the library, I'll color copy them for you). Thanks a lot! Now, could you please direct me to that North America map?

@Gagliado, I thought his name had a Mohammed in it, I just didn't know the full bit. Thanks!

[Patine]

@Sarsstock, it occured to me rereading my last post that that last sentence may come across as rude (it usually is when spoken). I certainly didn't mean it that way, just a mistranscription. What I meant is just that please send me a link to that map, if you could. Thanks and my apologies on any misread intentions.

[Sarsstock]

Don't worry, I took no offence. I can usually tell when people mean to offend and that wasn't the case here. Unfortunatly it turns out I don't have the map that Steph made, or at least not the completed version.

I'll try to get him to send me over the finished version. By the way, if you out tommorow let me just say

HAPPY CANADA DAY!!!!

[Patine]

Happy Canada Day to you too! By the way, before this thread likely closes (unless you or someone else has more to offer), are you a health care worker, if you don't mind me asking? I just hazarded a guess your net name is somehow tied to SARS Stock, and you do live in Ontairio. Do I have something, or am I completely out in left field?

[Sarsstock]

I hail from Steel City Ontario (Hamilton for you non Canadians). No I'm not in the health care profession, although many in my family are. I simply chose Sarsstock cause it was a concert that was on TV at the time when I needed to enter my userID when I joined the forum.

It was also 2 in the morning and i was a little tapped for ideas.

[Patine]

Fair enough. My net name is actually the French infinitive "to shine" (if you're fluent in the language, you likely already knew that). I'm pleased to have met you, and I hope I'll see you on other threads. If you get that map, please e-mail it to chandallah@netscape.net, and title the e-mail "North America Map" so I know its not junk mail (I get a lot of lot). See you around the forum.

[Sarsstock]

Well, I think we can keep this thread alive for a bit as long as people need obscure flags. Being Canada Day, I thought this flag was only apropriate.

[Patine]

Speaking of obscure flags, I had forgotten about my "Fall of Rome" scenario. Do you perchance have the banners of the East and West Roman Empires (as of their division in 375) and Theodoric the Goth and Attila the Hun. Thanks as always and again, Happy Canada Day!

[Patine]

Sarsstock (or Kobra, if you're reading this too; I haven't forgotten your fine work in the past), could you do me a unique flag set, please. It's kind of different, and previously I was using one flag, but that doesn't seem appropriate any more for what I have in mind. I need four flags for civs that each represent two nations; each should ideally have the left half of one flag and the right half of the other, with no distinguished border between the two. The four I need combine Britain-Spain, Britain-U.S., Britain-France, and North Korea-Vietnam. If one of you (or someone) could do this for me, I'd be most grateful.

[Sarsstock]

I'm on the case!! I shall post those and the Hun flag later tonight. Sadly the Hun flag was the only one I could find for you, no Goth's or East or West Roman Empire.

Also, I might post a screenshot of a hypothetical scenario about a war where "Grand Alberta" (Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba and BC) attempt to seperate from Confederation and an invasion is launched from Ontario.

[Sarsstock]

Here are those mixed flags:

[Patine]

Thanks a lot, as always! Those will do perfectly. Now there's just a few more that I previously used one nation's flag for and was dissatisfied. First, do you have Vasco da Gamma's expedition standard (I was using a Portuguese flag, though the civ represented European colonialism in general in Africa and Asia)? Second, is there a flag that best sums up, in your opinion, European colonialism as a whole in the 17th-19th Centuries (I was using the Union Jack for a 'Europeans' player in both a South American and East Asian scenario which mostly focused on the independent states in the region)? If no flag to symbolize this institution, even poetically, exists, I guess I'll just use the Union Jack for all represented Europeans. If you could please look into this, I'd be most grateful.
