Until now, the most of minor factions does not change flags with
a change of government (Revolution or Counterevolution)...so a
republican government had the same ensigne of a monarchist
one... it's so sad !
With this mod i've created a set of textures that adds
completely new campaign ui, new land flags, new naval flags for
republic or monarchy of those minor factions which has not a
different ensigne for republic/monarchy.
With the Republic/Monarchy for AllFactions Mod you can choose
any faction you want (including all minor factions) and, after a
Revolution, you'll see a new flag for the government you side or
you face
I have worked basically on the hystorical info and models taken
from this italian site of vexillology:

Whoa, you did the UI flags too?

Amazing! What did you use as a "blank" image for the little flags on the bottom right?

[Trasibulos]

i created one

[Morinzil]

Really love this mate! I was about to do this myself, but I'm glad you did it for me

[jumong]

nice trasibulos! never liked how the minor factions always sticks to its old flag after a revolution though it doesnt work for some factions cuz they get rebellions instead of revolutions like westphelia

[Aykis16]

Lol. So this is what you were doing. I like how we think alike. I started a wip for the same thing. Guess I'll just direct people here. Good work by the way. Let me know if you need any help with anything. Did you make any new Battalion flags for the alternate governments? I could do that. That way I can update my Land Battle Flag mod to 1.2. Do you think maybe you and I should combine all our mods into 1 big mod to co-author to make it easier for people?

[Aykis16]

Looking around in the pack and there are a few I don't agree with:

1. Scotland Republic - Don't like it. 13 stripes? Too American looking for my tastes. I'll see if I can come up with an alternative. EDIT: Here's my alternative:

2. Quebec - Looks like Hungary's flag. What was your source for that one? Edit: never mind I found it. Republic of Canada flag. That one is fine then.
3. Hannover - Hannover's Republic flag should look like this:

4. Crimean Khanate - The Star should be taken out in favor of the Tatar symbol. Also the crescent and star both seem off-center. Here's the Tatar Symbol:

5. Bavaria. Should look like this, although yours can be correct also:

6. Mexico. Yours is too similar to Mexico's monarchy one. This flag is from the Republic of Yucatan:

As for the some of the factions you didn't include:
1. Westphalia Republic:

2. Idea for Pirate Republic. Sort of silly, but I made it:

6. New Spain Republic (made this one):

But top notch work all-around, especially on those pesky portrait and animation flags.

[jumong]

westphelia and thirteen colonies are the factions i do know that you cant have revolutions. you only get rebels which you cant control. no point with republican flags for them.

[Trasibulos]

Hi all

dear Aykis, if you want you can do the battalion flags for each faction ! It would be amazing !

Anyway, i'm totally open to suggestions. In many cases i had to create some new models on my own!

Aykis i like your suggestions.

For Scotland, the only problem i see is that the flag you suggest is the same of the Naval Ensigne i put for Scotland in Naval Flag Conversion... but i can solve it

For Quebec: i know that this flag could appear created by me, but it's not so . That strage canadian republican flag was the real flag of the revolution of 1837 ( The "Republique du Canada"), made by the francophone and the irish people of Canada ( the colors is similar to the French revolutionary flag, but there is the irish green instead of the red )
see the links

For Bavaria i tought that this flag you suggested was the symbol of the monarchy, so i change it, but i can solve

for the others suggestions i'll glad to insert the models in this mod.

sorry for my poor english

[Trasibulos]

Jumong i'm working on this . Anyway i have not included the new ui for Thirteen Colonies in 1.0 version

[Trasibulos]

Aykis i've changed my signature including your mod !

[Trasibulos]

As you said jumong, i'v noted that it seems to be not possible to have a revolution with westphalia, because at the third turn of disorder, "Hessen" rebels appear instead of the republican rebels...

i'm working on it...

[Aykis16]

Thanks for including my mod! I'm going to add this one to my sig later. As for Westphalia, does that mean if westphalia has a revolution and lose that Hessia comes into existence?

[Trasibulos]

At the moment i'm not sure about this... needs testing

[Aykis16]

At the moment i'm not sure about this... needs testing

Alright let me start this up. I'll have to take a country as Westphalia and then make my capital die. Report on the results as soon as I can. Also, I think its possible for Westphalia to have an alternate government if they have a different region as well. Starting up game now.

[Aykis16]

Alright as of now Westphalia does not have an alternate government. I captured Flanders from the Spanish so now I had two regions. I started a rebellion in Cologne, my capital, and out came the Hessians. Hessians emerged and I was left with only Brussels as my last region. I started a rebellion in Brussels, which would be my capital, and there was no revolution, merely a Flemish Rebellion by generic rebels. So if we can figure a way to get Westphalia an alternate government without eliminating the Hessians that'd be nice.

I think this might also be a problem for New Spain, Louisiana, and the Thirteen Colonies. I will have to check it out and report back. For New Spain I think causing a revolution will just bring emergent Mexico and for Louisiana I think its just generic rebels. Thirteen Colonies of course is USA. I will try them out though.

[Trasibulos]

Ok aykis, i have arrived at the same consideration

[Aykis16]

Confirmed New Spain no alternate government (Mexico emerges instead) and Thirteen Colonies (USA). Lousiana as of yet not confirmed. Also, I'm working on creating the battalion flags for these new nations. And here is another idea for the Scot Flag if you don't want to change the ensign:



And here is the Mexico Republic Flag:


Hanover Republic:


Pirate Republic:


Saxony Republic (Does Saxony have an alternate government? Since you didn't include it in the v 1.0?):


MY version of Crimea Republic using Tatar symbol:


Let me know what you think.

[Trasibulos]

Good Work Aykis !

For Scotland, for me there is not proble in changing the ensigne; just let's take a decision about!

[mandead]

Please don't put stars on a Scots republican flag, it honestly looks ridiculous. I'm not criticising anyone's art, simply the idea.

Your flags looks immense, and the fact you did the UI flags is awesome. Fix some of the vanilla flags for major factions, though.
