I actually found a flag the presenter says is a flag of the British Empire, but also disclaims as merely a patriotic decoration. It's not a Union Jack with a crown in the middle, however, and the image they had was too big to post, but here's the link:

That's in Flags of the World as well; it's described as a table or wall decoration that was probably made to commemorate a sovereign's jubilee IIRC. It certainly wasn't an official flag that was hung on a flagpole. The Union Flag was the official flag of the British, and each colony and Dominion had their own flag as well.

Yes I found that one at FOTW as well, I started rendering it out but then decided against it as it was never an official flag of the empire.

Oh well, I guess I'll stick with the Union Jack for the British Empire players in several of my scenarios. Though Sarsstock, if you could make me a good one of those, I'd be most grateful (the one I'm using turns the player color to black due to its shadowing, making city pop numbers unreadable).

Here she be, the actual Union Jack and our ornimental flag. What the heck are you doing with all these flags I'm making for you? Are you making scenario's that are simply yet to be released or are you just updating already existing scenario's?

Updating already extant ones mostly (though a few have been seriously reduxed and may be rereleased). Some of the flags are, however, for new ones. I just want to be sure I have them all in one place.

@Sarsstock:
The flags I need are as follows:
OAU
AU
ANC
South Africa (apartheid-era and modern)
Zaire
DR Congo
Ethiopia
Nigeria
Arab League
France
Belgium
Portugal
Liberia
Henry the Navigator's standard
Mohammed's palm green war banner
Could you also please throw in a mixed Portuguese/Belgian and a Ethiopian/Liberian shield (neither needed in city flag form). Thanks a lot!

I have to warn you, mix flags and shields in general don't look to well, and those combinations you put forward are no exception.

I'm also pretty sure I've made up the Ethiopian and posted it on this threat, as well as severl takes on the French flag.

As I recall, the Ethiopian flag you posted (at my request, actually) was Haille Selassie's; I'm looking for a more modern one. However, you're probably right in terms of the mixed shields; please feel free to scrap the idea (I'll make separate units, I guess). I'll take a look for the French flag, as well. I offer my appreciation on your work on any of the others however. Thanks!

Its just that mixed flags look so unatural and often make it hard to reconize the flags of the nations they represent. My advice is to come up with a design for a flag to represent both nations, like Curt has in the past in scenario's like Kaiser and Soviet Steel.

Trust me, it will look a great deal better in the end if you use a single flag to represent an alliance. Either that or use only one of the nations flags to represent both.

Okay, here is the little flagset I cooked up for ya. I have afew notes however:

First, the OAU and AU are both abreviations for the Afrian Union from what I've found. Second, Henry the Navigator sailed under what is today the modern flag of Portugal. Third, I couldn't find a reference for Mohammed's palm green war banner. If you know of such a reference please post it on the thread and I would be glad to take a crack at it.

Also, I threw in the first version of an Allied WW2 flag which we discussed earlier.

No it hasn't. The black-yellow-green are the colors of the ANC (as you can see in the flag above it). The ANC was the party of Mandela, you know...

This is what the apartheid SA flag looked like.

Got spare money?

If anybody out there has a suggestion for an allied WW2 flag please feel free to post it on this thread. To my knowledge there was never an official allied flag, but I have been wrong before and there may have been an obscure flag used on occasion.

Hopefully before the new year I will have completed my grand project... the flags of the world. They will be posted continent by continent in random order. After that, the flags of the American Revolution, US-Mexican War, Civil War, First World War, Second World War, Korean War and Vietnam War.

Seriously Sarsstock, your maps are some of the finest out there!
I've used your style to do some of my own for my own project, I hope you don't mind.

Anyways, what I really intended to do with this post is to tell you, yet again, that you really, really, REALLY, should compile all your marvellous flags/shields into a single file.

That was my two cents, and I think more people agree.

Hmmm.... that is a good idea Martin. If I am to compile them all into a single file however it would be after I have introduced the individual continent's, just to make it convinient for everyone to download at once.

Rest assured, by this years end all the flags of the world will be ready. And thanks for the compliment Curt, a good word from you carries an awfull lot of weight.

Actually, Antarctica does have its own flag. It's sky blue with a white silhouette of the continent in the center. Yours does look good though.

Well, if Antartica has a flag then I suppose I could include it as its own continent. Though I don't see what scenario could possibly use it.
