The next update does not come out for another 7 weeks! Can’t wait for the new iteration

@theanswerisme No promises but I was considering making a larger Imperial Federation mod when the next update comes out in a few weeks with events and such.
Not much point in doing it before then though since it would all just break when the update comes out. Plus the new updates features would lend themselves quite well to such a mod.

Update, please, sir.

dead mod

The mod seems to be broken currently, as it does not let the UK form the Imperial Federation, and says that there are no unification canidates

I like what this does but I have some thoughts:

Firstly the mod doesn't seem to account for cultural UI stuff like pop images. When I look at my pops they seem to be from random cultural groups in their pictures, like African clerks or Chinese labourers. And the monarch, generals and servicemen have random uniform colours, usually black or white. They should be in red. They should def not be in African tribal clothing, as they often are...

Secondly I think the Boers should also be a primary culture since South Africa was a dominion and was expected to be part of the IF. Maybe add Afro-Caribbean as well.

Lastly, I hate the flag. It's way too busy and messy.

@Skinner I've not worked on this in a while but yea I thought of doing something like that.

Issue was if I did something which changed cultures it would have compatibility issues with other mods that change cultures, wanted to make it so this would work alongside just about any other mod

What about to set a new britanno-indian culture for BIC to solve that RAJ issue?

I mean, if you are looking for alternate flags I got a list

@Aaronthelemon haha, very true. It is kind of amazing that even with this France is still crazy strong in comparison.

It does tend to make the UK atleast some what able to compete with France atleast.

@Aaronthelemon Thanks. In regards to the AI, this is true. I've not touched any of the AI and the AI will by default form any nation they are able to as soon as it becomes available.
And since the UK starts with all the land from the start they just need the research you've chosen in the game options to form it unless they lose enough of the land or leadership position before that.

Wasn't really expecting anyone to use it without playing as the Imperial Federation tbh

A cool concept but the ai seems to form it every time.

@amtoj That is a good one. In the next update I'm planning on adding a custom game rule so you can set what flag you want to use for the federation before you start and I'll see if I can make that one of them.
Only issue might be Victoria 3 doesn't use images for flags so it might not look so good once I script it but I'll see how it turns out.

I recommend this flag if you'd like to use something historical. This is a souvenir from the British Empire Exhibition in 1924.

Some used it informally to represent the Commonwealth as a whole. You can find people waving it all the way into World War 2 in some photographs.

@Black_Viking737 If you mean can you add it mid-save?
I can't guarantee as I've not tested it but I think it should work fine, you just won't be able to change the custom rules so pan-nationalism would be the tech needed to form it by default.

@Redd I would agree, however as I described in the description it's not possible to leave out nations from joining the union if they have the same primary culture as the federation, in the case of the East India company, thats English.

I have made it so the flag changes to remove the gold middle bit if they aren't in the federation somehow though, like if you granted them independence beforehand for instance.

In a few days I'm planning on adding to this slightly by making some additional game rules so you can choose to always not have the Indian bit of the flag or even just keep the british flag rather than changing to the imperial one.

Is this mod save game compatible?

Think the Indian part should be removed given the Imperial Federation was more of a settler colony-union. India was more a subject colony rather

Not Bad!

@Vexili Yea, was trying to make it look similar to the flag for the Imperial Federation in HOI4 but Victoria 3 doesn't use images for their flags, it kind of uses prefabs which you mash together.
Very useful for generating new flags, very awkward for making custom detailed ones.

So I tried to put the prefabs of the flags of Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Canada and optionally India into one and that was as good looking as I could get it.

Would welcome and appreciate any suggestions to improve it though.

fr tho that flag is an Oof

This is the greatest formable mod yet.
