Historically accurate Caribbean flags

This replaces the Dutch and Spanish flags with historically accurate versions, along with French ship flags. English and some of the remaining French flags have been cleaned up a bit from what looks like unfinished versions in the original game.

event flags aren't there with the french

Oh yeah I'll add the English flag fix. Can't remember who made it but the thin cross works better.

For the French I didn't add an eventflag or mapflag because it actually makes sense for the existing Fleur-de-Lis to be used to represent the French nation/crown at the time, whereas the flags I added better represent what you'd see on merchant ships. But I'm happy to work on something like that if you'd prefer

No no, it's ok. I appreciate all the work you've done so far Sailor

Just upload the new english flags and ill try them out tommorow Cool

Ohh you mean the flag itself, I thought you were talking eventflag_eng and flag_english. You want the city/ship flags to have a thinner cross too? I feel like it would just look too all-white from a distance while sailing around, but can have a go at it

edit: I made the St. George's Cross a bit thinner, should still be visible enough while sailing around, it's with the main download in the OP now

In the OP, are the original english flags as thin as they are in your screen shot? IF so I"m good Sailor

Seems i can't remember, for a 16 year old game!

Yep, that's updated. In the pack are the thinner English flags, delete them if you prefer the default. The coats of arms are all updated for the period as well (the sail emblem that shows on bigger ships)

Thatâ€™s because they arenâ€™t related. If they were then they would always be at war Smile

Thatâ€™s my joke for the day.

Oh yeah the relations flags already have a thin St. George's Cross, fairly true to life. Same as the screenshots above. You prefer the Union Jack or anything? I've thought about hex editing England to become Britain before

I'm all historical. Cross of St george is just perfect

Spanish flag for the captain's log is now the old flag of Castile y Leon, reflecting the power of the Spanish crown and the presence of that flag in the 1600s. I believe it was also in Pirates! Gold in the 90s.

Sail ho! I do remember that from the 90s. Yes that was the one used, is there an update in your OP? I like the BUrgundy flag as well so it's all good
