Corona Lisa Posted October 19, 2018 Share Posted October 19, 2018 (edited) Pretty nice! So it sounds like you buy all in a single DLC. Any ETA or price info? And can I only use Pirate flags for example if Im in Pirate nation? Edited October 19, 2018 by Jon Snow lets go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeBoiteux Posted October 19, 2018 Share Posted October 19, 2018 (edited) 22 hours ago, admin said: May I propose what, IMHO I think, are more meaningful names for the French flags ? 'Louis XVI' : great name (or maybe the simpler 'King's ensign') 'galley flag" : great name 'Royal ensign' : isn't it the flag of the Royal family only during the Bourbon Restauration (1814-1830) ? Maybe 'Bourbon restauration" or 'Late royal flag' would be better ? 'Naval Ensign 1790' : flag of the period between the Monarchy and the Empire. What about 'Revolution flag' or 'French Revolution' ? 'Per Mare et Terras' : flag of the Compagnies Franches de Marine (17-18th cent.) that served 'overseas' in the French colonies (Americas, India). What about 'Colonial flag' ? Was it really used as a naval ensign one could see on ships ? What about a rearrangement of the flags in a chronological order with 'Louis XVI" the antepenultimate flag, the 'Naval Ensign 1790' the penultimate one and the 'Royal ensign' the last one ? Indeed, as you mention, a flag of the French Merchants would be nice. I guess it is no use repeating that the plain white flag for the warships during the French Monarchy (80% of NA timeframe) is missing. Let's also mention that this flag was also largely used by the Merchant ships, despite the prohibition : « l’usage du pavillon blanc a toujours continué dans les navires marchands et actuellement on n’y en voit pas d’autre. » (Valin, Commentaires sur l'Ordonnance de la Marine de 1681, 1766) Congratulations, GL, for all those beautiful flags 🙂 Edited October 20, 2018 by LeBoiteux 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can only see flags of your nation in whatever menu where you choose what flag to carry, or you can only see flags (variety) of your own nation, period? I mean, if I'm in a battle with Russians against Prussians: Will I be able to see any dlc-flags carried by players on the Prussian side? Or only the dlc-flags carried by Russians in the battle? Also: What if we join a battle that's ongoing between two other nations? Will we retain our DLC-flags in those battles, or will we carry the standard flag of whatever nation's side we join?

At least for "seeing" them, in the test server, you can see variant flags on enemies. I believe admin means that you will only "see" your flags to select within the UI.

Anolytic Posted October 19, 2018 Share Posted October 19, 2018 I want to say that we really should be able to see the dlc-flags of anyone carrying it, friend or foe. It's going to be mightily confusing to begin with, having friends and enemies both carrying a range of flags and not all the same like now. It's going to lead to a few stray broadsides I imagine. It's not going to be the first time I accidentally sank a friend with some well placed leaks though. And we will get used to it. Moreover, recognising flags and knowing what they meant was a vital part of the Age of Sail experience. A good captain should quickly come to recognise what ensigns belong to what nation. And if they don't there's still the red colour of someone's name in the upper right corner to know you're targeting a foe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Powderhorn Posted October 19, 2018 Share Posted October 19, 2018 I would rename "US The Tree Flag" (which sounds clunky, if descriptive) to "Washington's Cruisers." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powderhorn Posted October 19, 2018 Share Posted October 19, 2018 The Cambridge Flag is a US flag, not a British flag. The "Grand Union Flag" (also known as the "Continental Colors", the "Congress Flag", the "Cambridge Flag", and the "First Navy Ensign") is considered to be the first national flag of the United States of America.[1] https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grand_Union_Flag Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks nice but probably a bit too late 1700-1820 if I remember right unless it has changed but @admin could correct this so you would be way out of time line. I would of loved the CSA Jack or the Naval Jack (both very close) but that is about the same time as the flag you posted 1860's. 1 hour ago, Powderhorn said: Right, and you can on the test bed. You mean we can see it on AI right cause as far as I know there aren't flags for players on testbed yet. Would be nice if they gifted a few just to test and see how they work. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They did use military style flag (with tails), even after it was prohibited in a royal decree in 1751. However they were also allowed to have a monogram (SOIC) in the middle of the cross. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swedish_East_India_Company Also missing are Swedish merchant/civil flags. They are basically the same as "Naval Ensign" and "War Flag 1815", but merchant versions have no tails. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_flags_of_Sweden Edited October 19, 2018 by Riparian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
