Flag Request Thread

A compilation for ww2 would also be nice.

All I have to say is that you are to flags what fairline is to units.

Thankyou Typhoon, a compliment from you carries allot of weight. Martin, I think your right in that a WW2 collection would be a nice touch. I also plan on releasing a Cold War flagset, a Civil War Flagset and a flagset for any other war that shaped civilization in one way or another.

If anyone out there would like to post some of the new impressive ToT flags that I've seen around please do, something along the lines of Curt's great flags from Bitterfrost ToT.

Chris ... the Great War flag set is outstanding! I only do *fear* it´ll delay the Redux release for a couple ot minutes ...

The one-stop thread for flags!

Awesome resource!

Am I the only one worried about the spelling of "Entente"?

[Sarsstock]

Curt I thank you for that compliment, but I would emplore you to contribute some of your skill when it comes to those fantastic ToT flags from Bitterfrost. You see, I have made several attempts at rendering the style of flags and they just don't look as crisp and real as yours.

Is it a matter of simple cutting and pasting or do you use transparencies to create the shadow effect?

[Arthedain]

Indeed many flag-sets of wars and time periods would be great. As long as you want to do the job. I sure hope so, cause they're the best (along with a few others, of course).

WE HAVE A FLAGSET!!

Here she be Cyrion, the flagset is completed. I'd sure like to see this scenario if possible when its released.

[Sarsstock]

Before I get to work on actual wars and conflicts, here is the flagset from the series "How Few Remain" based on a what if scenario where the Confederacy has won the Civil War. The flagset is made up of the flags of the nations that have been featured in the various North American conflicts from the Second Mexican War of the 1880's to Operation Blackbeard and the dawn of the Second Great War in the summer of 1941.

I also threw in the flag and shield of the Rivington men, even though they are from a different alternate civil war novel by the same author (Turtledove).

Say, Chris, I need a few flags for a scen that's in my queue after EotRS is finished, and thus there's no rush. Your other hypothetical and custom flags have been great! These flags are for factions in a scen based on the events leading up to WWII in Europe (stretching from March '33 to May '40), and several factions are such that no real-world flag is really appropriate. Here they are:
-The Demilitarized States (includes Austria, the Czech provinces, the Rhineland, and the Free City of Danzig)
-The Contested States (includes Poland, the Baltic States, Denmark, Norway, Albania, and the Republican Spanish)
-The Pro-German States (includes Finland, Slovakia, Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria, and the Nationalist Spanish)
-The League of Nations (includes the British Empire, France, Belgium, the Netherlands, Iceland, Greece, and Yugoslavia)

What I really want is some imagination, even if it's just an appropriate pattern or stylism. Like I said, there's no rush, so take your time. Thanks in advance!

Thanks so much Sarsstock!

I'll implement them this week-end, I can't wait to see how they look in-game!

And of course you'll see the scen once it's ready: guess where I'll release it... (actually, if you want, I'll send it to you when I launch the playtest, so that you can preview how I use your work! )

[Sarsstock]

I had originally wanted to use the proper latin translation to introduce the new flagset but wasn't able to get a translation I was certain was accurate. The closest I could come to was "Habamus Vexillum" but I'm not sure if this would have been accurate.
