Flag Request Thread

[Sarsstock]

Well Boco I began this task thinking the end result wouldn't be up to par, but to my surprise they don't look that bad. Luckily the reduction didn't effect any of the important symbol graphics, so all the flags should be easy to make out at first glance.

In my opinion though this is just about as far down as they can be reduced in size.

[Boco]

They do reduce well (even the Gurkha vs the Saudi shields) , but you really shouldn't encourage my obsessive ways! Fairline already does that very well.

What should I use for a U-Boat ensign?

I'm afraid that the Bersaglieri and RHA units are not in v2.

Let's see for v2, I need a red ensign, but that's a cinch from your Canadian button. One icon represents artillery from the Indian, French, and Egyptian armies. I can modify the RFA shield to have only a blue background for that. Only thing missing is a generic anchor for 3 icons that represent Naval Infantry, Destroyers, and Gunboats from the Royal, French, Indian, and Egyptian navies.

Btw, can you post a signature that I can put in my units file?

[Sarsstock]

Well I took a shot at some possible artillery shields, naval shields as well as a blank Red Ensign, a blank Blue Ensign and the flag of the Imperial German Navy. I have to say of all the flags that were reduced in size the G.I.N. shield lost the most in detail. The eagle at the center, the iron cross on the black white and red banner all had to be lost.

Let me know what the verdict is.

[Boco]

This is really helpful! The Bersaglieri badge is so good that I decided to use it for the generic Gendarmes slot. The German Ensign works well. Yes, it's impossible to put in all the detail, but you managed to keep to the overall scheme very well. These look good even at shift-z zoom.

I'm opting for the smaller shields for now. When it's ready for beta, I'll let testers decide between regular and petite.

Many thanks.

Last Request for Pomarj...

Sarsstock, this time it really is my last request (at least for this scenario )...

I would need shield + flag showing a blood-red "Omega" (the Greek letter) on a white background, could you do that for me?? I would be really grateful!

PS: and you'll see the results of all your hard work on my behalf in 1-2 weeks

Say Chris, those button shields are great (I have yet to see how they look in-game, but I look forward to it), however, could I get just six more to finish my set? I need a Yen symbol (preferably yellow on a green backdrop like most trade units), your engineer shield, your generic artillery shield, your AA shield, your generic naval shield, and a nuclear symbol, if I could so trouble you. I'd really appreciate it if you could help me with this. Thanks!

[Sarsstock]

I'll see what I can do for both of you.

[Sarsstock]

First off, Cyrion here's that blood red "Omega" on the white banner you had requested. I can't wait to see some armies carry all of these flags into combat when the project is complete .

[Sarsstock]

Second, I have the generic button shields for Patine. In order of appearance we have the generic tank shield, armored car shield, naval shield, artillery shield, nuclear shield, infantry shield, anti aircraft shield, engineering shield, european merchant shield, and finally the asian merchant shield you had requested.

[Varwnos]

Your flags are wonderfull

[Patine]

They're great, Chris, as always! Thanks a whole lot!

[Cyrion]

@varwnos and Sarsstock: tanks a lot, my flags and shields list is now full!

I'll PM you a link to the playtest version before the end of next week, so that you can see that I only discarded 2 of the flags (and not because of their quality, of course! only because you provided others that were even better! )

And combat there will be...

[Sarsstock]

I have a question for you Cyrion. What do you think of using circular shields in your scenario for MGE such as the ones I have provided Patine with for his EOTRS ToT scenario?

It is possible to position them in a way so that the health bar is still clearly visable above the shield. Let me know if your interested.

Thanks Sarsstock! I think your circular shields look wonderful, but I quite like the ones you already provided!

And I think the "shield-like" shape looks good on med-fan units!

And last, just 2 questions for you (being the "flag-guru", you probably know the answers):

1) I want to change the colour of the city-size display (do you understand what I mean??), and I believe it is set by a pixel in the flag graphic: which one is that??

2) the flag you drew for the Kobolds seem to be positioned on the city differently from the other ones: is there a way I can set a flag position on a city, or am I just mistaken??
