Whats the most we can do with flags ATM?
Also, I've seen people release battalion flags for individual units in some mods. How do I do this? (I just want to give my Connaught Rangers a proper flag, instead of the union jack)

Certain units released with their own flags...(At a glance). Or is it just the national flag units use?

It isn't possible to have either different flags for different units or mor than one flag per unit at the moment.
there are only 3 types of flags now, National(what you see on the campaign map), Battle(what you see your units holding on the battlefield), naval (what your ships have).
In the german CTW Mod we got some discussion on that topic, regimental flags are not possible in the moment as long the Flags are restricted to the factions_table in the db, so like burnoutfigs said there are only the nations flag, in battle flag and naval flag possible for a change. Maybe a hint to CA, to change the use-link of the flag to the unit_stats table, so you could form different regiments with different flags, and for the scripters at CA it should be easily be done...

Actually it may be possible.
If you opened the equipment diffuse(dont ask me where i found it) You could possibly draw a set flag in. If you could then somehow link this new image with the instruments column in "WarscapeEquipmentThemes" you may be able to do it.
I know this is very sketchy, but its very hard to write down my exact thoughts.....
Anyway i'll look into it and try and better "express" myself later

Well i understand what you think of, I also got an idea I put a thread up at yuku, but at least nobody seems to be interested in that one.
My Intention was like this
- the flags are linked in the factions_table allowing only one flag for all regiments of a nation, but if the in battle flag would be linked up like the other ui_files in the unts_stats_table you should add the regimental flag to every unit you're creating, since we're not able to change the file structure i posted that to yuku adressed to CA, but it doesn't interest anyone there, but for a common CA programmer that would take about 10 minutes at last to change the db so that this will work

The problem of putting the flag into the units stats is, that you don't have all unit variants in that table. You would need one line for every unit of every faction than....
It would be better to give modders the opportunity to make new flag bearers, that can carry a fixed flag. This way CA wouldn't have to bother about making tons of entries in the unit_stats and modders can give regimental flags if they like.
Another possibility would be to add a row to unit stats, where you can put in the standard flag or enter a path to a regimental flag...

what about making battle flags bigger?

Would it be possible to replace the drummer with another standard bearer and have drummers as the soldiers in the unit? Then we have 2 flags, 1 officer, and a marching band to raise morale!
That has already been made.
Of course I can't find the link to the drummer mod now, but you can find it in the below thread:
