hey, doubt you’re gonna answer given that i’m about 6 years late, but could you make the imperial German naval ensign? its the one with like black cross with white squares and this flag in the top corner. You can just search "Imperial German naval ensign" and you’ll find it. Thanks

ok thanks
Verenti  [author] 26 Nov, 2018 @ 5:06am 
Yes, but only the players using the mod will see it.
Verenti  [author] 26 Nov, 2018 @ 5:06am 
Yes.

do flag mods work in multiplayer if people don't have them?
Verenti  [author] 7 Sep, 2018 @ 8:14pm 
Any. It's a flag. You'll be good with any version that the GER tag.

WHICH VERSION DOES IT NEED

The Belgian flag colors come from the arms of Brabant. Nothing to do with Flanders and Wallonia, moreover the Wallonian flag was created many years after the Belgian revolution.

alright
Verenti  [author] 5 Dec, 2015 @ 12:03pm 
You don't need an update!
You can load "out-of-date" mods. Just click the mod in the browser and it will enable like an "up-to-date" mode.
Crustularius 5 Dec, 2015 @ 9:27am 
update please? :)
Nohl 14 May, 2015 @ 12:41pm 
it isnt working anymore
raistlin82 9 Jan, 2015 @ 6:32pm 
Yes, btw, it is working now.
Verenti  [author] 5 Jan, 2015 @ 5:22pm 
Some cases you simply have to choose between having it look right as a shield or as a flag over the cities, troops and units. I usually err on the side of the flags on the maps rather than the shield. For the best result for the map flags, just take the full flag and resize it down to the square tga.

This is just a limitation of the tools they were using.

Hey mate - you said you take requests, and I've given this attempt after attempt, so maybe you'll have better luck than me.

I cannot for the life of me find a way to make the Imperial German Naval Jack (the very recognisable red white black with an iron cross stamped in the centre) look good in game. My attempts look perfect on the flags over towns, passable on the big flag in the top left, and god-awful on the little shields by each army.

Would you mind giving it a try? I really want to use that flag.

Thanks!

Is it working now?
raistlin82 4 Dec, 2014 @ 9:57am 
Turns out that the game doesn't recognize this mod as up to date with the latest version (1.8 I think).
raistlin82 29 Nov, 2014 @ 2:44am 
I have the same problem as jtreid41, btw.
I have to uninstall and reinstall every single time I want to play.
Or else it just doesn't show the mod in the mod list anymore, the second time.
Sir Charles Dewitt 26 Nov, 2014 @ 4:43pm 
since you apparently take requests: I can't for the life of me find a mod on the workshop that gives England the white flag with a red cross of Saint George
raistlin82 26 Nov, 2014 @ 4:46am 
Thank you.
The in-game Germany flag looks soooo very ugly.
It's like the lame version of Prussia's. And Russia's. And Aachen. And thousands others.

Anyway... is there any way you can make a cool flag for Rome? I mean ancient Rome, with the purpureal red and golden laurel, the SPQR, and maybe an eagle and/or the she-wolf feeding the baby twins?
Verenti  [author] 20 Nov, 2014 @ 11:38pm 
I don't know what the issue with that is. I'll try re-uploading all of my flags and see if that fixes the issue.

For some reason, the first time I use this flag, it works fine, but every other time the launcher says it isn't compatible with the current version. I have to delete it everytime if i want it to work.
Verenti  [author] 16 Nov, 2014 @ 6:51am 
It only works with Germany, currently. You only have to rename the file in the archive from GER.tga to PRU.tga for it to work with Prussia instead.
Nerviian Noble 16 Nov, 2014 @ 6:40am 
Can i use this in my Prussia campaign? Or only Germany so i have to form Germany first as Prussia?
DarthJarJar 16 Nov, 2014 @ 2:00am 
I just had a look at it on wikipedia and it appears you're right. Very well, good luck with the future of this mod.
Verenti  [author] 16 Nov, 2014 @ 1:20am 
According to Wikipedia, it originated as a merchant flag for ships, and was a combination of Prussia's white and black and Bremen, Hamburg and Lübeck's flags (which were responsible for most of the international shipping). However, William I also took the red and white to symbolise Brandenburg.

So, both arguments have merit, but I'm still going with the red and white to represent the Hansa, for my below stated reasons.
Verenti  [author] 16 Nov, 2014 @ 1:14am 
There has been a bit of debate over that.

I would argue it wouldn't make much sense for the North German Federation, a union between Prussia and North Western German, like Hannover, Bremen, Hamburg to fly a flag that is a combination between Prussia and, effectively, Prussia. The Hansa colours, which are also prominent in the flags of the major powers that Prussia was trying to corporate in this new Bund. I think based on that, the argument that it is a combination between Prussia and the post-Hansa German states Prussia was wooing, is entirely more reasonable of an argument.
DarthJarJar 15 Nov, 2014 @ 11:26pm 
Nice mod! Only problem is that the German tricolour is a combination of Brandenburg and Prussia's flag.
ジューシーな中華料理 15 Nov, 2014 @ 6:42pm 
Could you please make this same thing but with an Iron cross in the middle?
Darth Modus - God of Richards 15 Nov, 2014 @ 5:42pm 
Love it! :) Can you change Japan's flag to the red and white sun or to that of the rising sun? No historical accuracy, just a request please. ;)
Tap.Water 15 Nov, 2014 @ 4:39pm 
Maybe make the Hungarian flag?
Verenti  [author] 15 Nov, 2014 @ 11:41am 
@Thracian

Ik heb niet de eerste idee hoe ik kan dat doen. Meestal maak ik vlaggen.
Corboro 15 Nov, 2014 @ 9:49am 
Can you make the the modern Irish flag replace the one in the game?

Imperial German Tricolor 1892-1918

The black-white-red striped German imperial flag was adopted by the North German Confederation in 1867, as a combination of the black-white of Prussia and the red-white of Brandenburg. In 1871 it was adopted as merchant flag for the German Empire, and in 1892 declared to be the national flag of the Second Reich and continued in use until 1918. It was briefly reintroduced later just prior to World War II between 1933 and 1935, and used jointly with the Nazi swastika flag, then banned as symbol that could be used by "reactionary" groups.

@Stilgar actually, it is contested. sources say either one or the other.

Hansa would make more sense though, because unifying Prussia with Brandenburg (which means itself) would be stupid.

thats history 101 right there. noob.
The Lucky Gremlin 15 Nov, 2014 @ 1:12am 
the red and white doesn't come from the Hansa... it comes from Brandenburg... that's history 101 stuff right there
Prog 15 Nov, 2014 @ 1:10am

Cuirassier 15 Nov, 2014 @ 12:48am 
Thank you very much!
Verenti  [author] 15 Nov, 2014 @ 12:47am 
Yes, all graphics mods are ironman compatible.


CT, I'll add it to my list. I'll have it done "tomorrow", or rather later today.
Theo Hiddema 15 Nov, 2014 @ 12:42am 
Is this ironman compatible?
Cuirassier 15 Nov, 2014 @ 12:42am 
Hello! Is it at all possible to put the Portuguese monarchic flag, please? http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/a/a1/Flag_Portugal_%281830%29.svg
Thank you, have a nice day! ^_^
Tejen 14 Nov, 2014 @ 3:14am

Tejen 14 Nov, 2014 @ 3:12am

Verenti  [author] 13 Nov, 2014 @ 2:34pm 
It wasn't. I just forgot to set it to public.
Tejen 13 Nov, 2014 @ 11:58am 
Why was the other German flag mod deleted?
Maslo 12 Nov, 2014 @ 12:46am 
Good mod, thx man
BareBodkin 9 Nov, 2014 @ 2:36pm 
Thanks, the normal Germany flag looks so dumb and derpy compared to this, or at least the Prussian one.
Antera 8 Nov, 2014 @ 10:02pm 
Thnx again ^_^
