  1. Hi ( i wanted to post a pics. here but it was not allowed ) There should be red privateer flags in the game for the Dutch ships if you want to be accurate ( this means ofcourse that you should be playing as a privateer for your nation to fly it ) I would love to see my home towns privateers flag ( the flag is my profile pic ). ......let me make my case. I'm from a tonw called Vlissingen ( Flusshing in enlish) in the province of Zeeland in the Netherlands. This town i awlso the birthplace of Michiel Adriaenszoon de Ruyter our countries biggest naval hero. ( there where more naval heroes from my birthplace but i wont get in to them ) Privateers flew a red flag and a large amound of the dutch fleet where privateers . and from those a lot of them where from privateering compagnies who came from Vlissingen , most of them i think. and they flew their own Flag so the prey knew who where chacing them Our town stil uses this flag to this day in a lot of old paintings where Dutch ships are in battles you almost every time you see the red flag of privateers in them granted usualy you see a red flag with a arm holding a sword or somthing , but i realy think our So to be accurate in the game when portraing The Dutch fleet there should be red flags to I'm in to history and when i make a case for my Vlissingse bloed vlag ( flusshing's Blood flag ) its not just becouse i would like it but it realy was used and capitans all over the world knew it and the privateers from Flushing they where realy good in wat the did And the did operate in the carbeein to make my point have a look at this link below and read wat it says behind the word Flessing https://books.google.nl/books?id=jCp6Er2kmIUC&pg=PT314&lpg=PT314&dq=dutch+privateers+from+Flushing&source=bl&ots=2jhVFI8XZP&sig=M8qMmPG0PrvUb3DhbIZc1R_-19A&hl=nl&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwiB6benq-bKAhVB_Q4KHdROAhgQ6AEIODAE#v=onepage&q=dutch%20privateers%20from%20Flushing&f=false this is from a book called The sea rover's Practice, and if the word for a person or a ship from Vlissingen/Flushing to be a synonym for a privateer or pirate says it all i think Even the Porugese had the same synonym .."Pisselingh " which meens pirate and/or some one from Flushing. oh and this "Pechelingue" is the spanish term for dutch privateers named after Vlissingen I hope i did not bored you and that my spelling was not to bad , if you want to know more or need more pics/info let me know. Thank a lot and i realy love your game Johan van der weele aka. Vlissinger
