MP: Choosing Civ Colors

[binTravkin]

Heh, thanks!

Your future (I guess) flag makes one think you're more like pirates not mercenaries..
Perhaps a new infiltration tactic..?

[UnOrthOdOx]

Our future (most likely) flag may be that of a famous/infamous pirate, but IMO just screams "mercenary".

[proviisori]

Here is the flag of Sarantium.


-the flag in right scale (hopefully the final flag will look something like this)


-the flag is stretched here because in game the flag will be scaled down 25% horizontally (you use this image in civ, Snoopy? ...right?)


-logo for the button (you only need to add the borders)

Tell me if you are not happy with these or if you need some extra images.

Well IMO it screams "death" or some word with that root, but maybe it's just me..

[serious]no offense[/serious]

[UnOrthOdOx]

I somehow don't think we're talking the same flag...

[binTravkin]

You got me confused here.
Aren't you going to use your civgroup icon as a basis of flag?

[UnOrthOdOx]

Oh no. We'll be using something more fitting. The icon is a direct result of my suckage at computer imaging.

[binTravkin]

Oh well.
Anyways, using a sort of pirate flag would be fun.

[Arrian]

Did the Hessians have any sort of distinctive insignia?

[UnOrthOdOx]

There seems enough concensus to say we will be using the one we discussed last night, snoopy. Thanks for whipping that up in such a flash



(wonder if Mark would change our icon...)

[edit] now with symbolical meaning goodness:

Sir Thomas Tew seemed to think it more polite to suggest violence in his flag rather than death, and took the image of the sword rather than skull or bones.

The message however was no less clear regarding the fate of any who opposed his advance. The images on a pirate flag were designed to indicate a certain message. They were interpretive, but well known in the golden age of piracy. The skull was a sign of death, but a skeleton, often with horns, indicated a tormented death. A dart or spear was used to indicate a violent death in contrast to the bleeding heart denoting a slow and painful death. The hourglass gave a threat that time was running out or that capture was inevitable.

A raised fist or hand clutching a dagger or cutlass was to indicate a general willingness to kill. This was the image Tew chose.

Most fitting IMO.

hmm, our flag looks awkward next to the hiqh quality of merc's

must do something about that... :-)

[snoopy369]

Merc pic already in, Sarantium will be tomorrow.

I fail to see low quality of ours though..

[UnOrthOdOx]

snoopy, unless you hear different from me:

Leader: Georg von Frundsberg
Civ description: Todesengel Landsknecht Fähnlein
Short description: Landsknecht Fähnlein
Civ adjective: Landsknecht

[proviisori]

Snoopy, are the flags ready for all of the teams and could you some screenies if they are?

It would be nice to see some eye-candy while waiting for the start.
