This includes flags on OS. From what I can tell many needed features could not make it in due to weak game engine. Maybe someone can confirm it or find the post it would help (somewhere inside topics about flags or FPS). I don't think what the animated flags on ships are causing drop of FPS in WO .

Guest Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 @admin a nice way to implement it is that the nation flag is the same so you wont get confused in battles (even though colors and names are there), but you can change the main mast flag to an other flag which you have gained through achievements? for example: Win an epic event fight with atleast 1 second rate and the reward is for Prussia it could be a unique flag or as a pirate it could be an iconic pirate flag. Just so you could personalize your ship and show your achievements sort of. It would also encourage players to do explore the game if they know in the end they get a cool reward for it.

Marquês do Bonfim Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 Unfortunetly, with our player base numbers, it's most likely not possible to have another nation added. It would divide even more our player base. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marquês do Bonfim Posted December 13, 2018 Share Posted December 13, 2018 (edited) But it would be nice to see a portuguese flag under Britain's faction, since Portugal has been in a alliance with Great Britain since the 14th century under the Anglo-Portuguese Treaty of Windsor, they all aid each other whenever they needed. Since it wouldn't be right to add a new faction, would be nice to be able to fly the Portuguese flag under Britain's influence, players should be able to create their clans and role play as Portugal itself.. Here are some of the flags from 17th century and the one represented the alliance between the two nations (not historical accurate one, since I didn't find anything online, but it would get the job done). The Anglo-Portuguese flag 17th century Portugal flag The Royal Portuguese Family arriving in the coast of Brazil escorted by a Brittish Men o' War portrait.

Marquis de la Fayette Posted December 13, 2018 Share Posted December 13, 2018 10 minutes ago, Cortés, o Corsário said: Mais il serait bien de voir un drapeau portugais sous la faction britannique, le Portugal étant lié par la Grande-Bretagne depuis le XIVe siècle aux termes du traité anglo-portugais de Windsor, ils s'entraident à tout moment. Puisqu'il ne serait pas correct d'ajouter une nouvelle faction, il serait bien de pouvoir arborer le drapeau portugais sous l'influence britannique, les joueurs devraient pouvoir créer leurs clans et jouer le rôle du Portugal même. Voici quelques drapeaux. à partir du 17ème siècle et celui qui représentait l’alliance entre les deux nations (non précis, car je n’ai rien trouvé en ligne, mais le travail serait fait).

Marquês do Bonfim Posted December 13, 2018 Share Posted December 13, 2018 (edited) I don't know if I understood what you asked, but.. the painting was made by Geoff Hunt, here's a more in-depth explanation of the painting: Quote "Geoff Hunt RSMA The Arrival of the Portuguese Royal Family in Brazil, 7 March 1808 Late in 1807, Portugal, threatened with invasion by Napoleon, took the decision to evacuate the Royal Family to Brazil. A British Squadron, together with many units of the Portuguese Royal Navy, provided a strong escort across the Atlantic. They made landfall at Bahia, the onward journey to Rio being delayed while a suitably imperial reception could be arranged. In this painting the Portuguese flagship, the Principe Real, 84 guns, has just come to anchor in Rio de Janeiro harbour. She has on board the Prince Regent and his retinue, and flies the Royal Standard at the mainmast. While a swarm of cereminial barges and small boats approaches, gun salutes boom out from the forts and from the British flagship, Marlborough, 74, at the left of the picture, which had arrived earlier. To the right, other ships of the Portuguese squadron are coming into anchorage: the Alfonso, 64, Rainha da Portugal, 74, Conde D. Henrique, 74, the frigates Medusa and Urania, and various lesser ships, accompanied by the British Bedford, 74." I hope this answers your question, La Fayette. Sincerely, the Corsair.

Karpfanger Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 Hello Sailors, one question ... there was a treatise in the forum how to modify your nation flag. It seems to work. But only you can see your own nice flag. Now my question: With the new Flag DLC more than on nation flag can be choosen and everyone can see your choosen flag. Were are these flag files located? On your PC? Would it be possible to modify one of the flags ... of course only if you bought the flag DLC .... and everyone can see it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marquês do Bonfim Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 I haven't been able to find the DLC flags to modify, so my take is that they probably aren't available in the files to be modded, maybe in the future? Who knows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seawolf7 Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 (edited) Flags of the Sovereign Military Order of Malta For future reference , hopefully maybe a Mega Update including the Knights of Malta as a faction among other nations like Portugal etc , or just a new Flag DLC including these Maltese flags that could be used under the French or Spanish Navies .The Knights of Malta had strong Links with both nations , actually the Knights bought and managed 4 islands in the Caribbean , Saint Christopher , Saint Martin , Saint Barthelemy and Saint Croix thanks to links with French aristocrats so the French link makes sense , the Knights also had a lot of French nationals in their ranks . Spain had a good relationship with the Order too and many Knights were also of spanish nationality .Back in the Mediterranean It was the King of Spain that gave the island of Malta to the knights and later on the Knights and Maltese corsairs fought side by side with the spaniards in several naval battles. These Maltese flags could hopefully at least be introduced in the game under one of these two nations like Portuguese flags could be introduced under the Spanish Navy. The eight pointed Maltese Cross Flag of the order used by the Grand Masters. Prominent in the Maltese Navy.

aklex Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 Сразу скажу что не обладаю знаниями о возможности игры на раскраску, поэтому просто как пожелание а не задачу к исполнению. В игре неплохо реализованы флаги нации. но не задействованы такое хорошее поле для любых эмблем это паруса. Тем более что насколько мне кажется они требуют переработки, если уже не возможность поставить на них картинки или придать им другой цвет, то пересмотреть как выглядят паруса стоило бы. Визуально они плотнее чем корпус корабля, мне кажется как минимум прозрачность их стоит усилить (возможно это станет общим облегчением для требований игры). А если всетаки есть возможность красить паруса и ставить на них картинки то как новая тема для ДЛС вполне подойдет. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 So glad for your post. My family origins in North America are a kaper, native to Vlissingen (Kanarievogel was his ship, raided in the Caribbean from New Amsterdam, settled at Flushing, Long Island. His son was a privateer for the British. This is an amazing way to "get" what the family business was all about.) Dank je wel. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
