    Never noticed it either...

    I don't think it's possible.

    seems like one of the many things CA wanted to include but was too rushed too.

    Yes I believe PubliusKhannus is correct, since there is also a flag pole with all of the Farmhouse buildings and on top of the Townhalls. Perhaps they can patch it in in the future?

    It would be nice eye candy, especially when playing without the unit flags.

    that's probably the reason it's there.

    So, what do you mean? There should have been flags there?

    i don't believe CA would have an EMPTY flag pole for eye candy, isn't that actually a detractor?

    I wager they didn't have the time to correctly display the flag for the pole with the rush job.
    How does the battlefield terrain generated? Is it random? Or already pre-generated?
    Also how will the flag displayed? Using the region owner's flag or the defending forces flag? <- isn't usually when an army captured an enemy building they would raise their own flag?
    Bored/Frustrated/Angry at inaccurate in game uniform?
    Want to see another historical variation instead?
    Or are you a someone who wish to show your work on how "it should
    have look like"?

    Perhaps based on occupation status of the individual building. If unoccupied, no flag.

    To have them pre-loaded as the defenders' national flag would be odd, because either the attacker would win maps with the enemies flags still flying in these buildings (if the attacker didn't occupy them one by one), or the attacker would have to send units to completely empty buildings just to change the flag. Its not like capturing these building is a condition for victory.

    I'm almost positive they would be flagless at the battle's start and only display a flag should the building be occupied during the course of the battle.

    Well the problem with that is, so far none of the garrisonable buildings have flag pole.

    Good point, at first glance I thought the "doorway enter" symbol for garrisonable buildings was hovering over that one in the screenie. Its hovering on the buildings behind it.
