    Nice work, mate!

    I've never seen the Lithuanian flag we use that close-up, I wonder why it has a christian cross on it

    edit: Oh I see: "The Lithuanian mounted knight, called Vytis, is one of the oldest state emblems in Europe. It dates back to 1366, the time of Grand Duke Algirdas, and became an emblem of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania at the beginning of the 15th century. In 1918 Vytis became the foremost symbol of statehood of Lithuania." - http://dictionaries.vnvsoft.com/dial...Lithuania.html

    I guess they were christians by then.

    NOTE that I made those symbols from the banners that are located in the M2TW\mods\DLV_ext\data\banners\textures folder
    If you think that something is wrong, then point it in this thread, so I can know what to change in a symbol.

    These look great, better than SS symbols any day. You and Tokus should have a 2d graphics cage match.

    Ahh, good news, I was wondering why mine didn't work. Keep up the good work.

    Not sure yet, I'm at work. I'll have to check when I get home tonight. I'm sure it's fine though. I think I should have enough posts to +rep you now. I'll have to do that too.

    Great symbols but i think the Moors are always kind of ignored for Modders.

    Here's an interesting link with awesome banners (historically accurate ):

    I would be glad if you could help me a little bit.
    The site you suggested is in Arabic (?) and I can't understand where to look for a Moors' banner.
    If you could point to a specific image, then I could make a historically accurate sumbol from it.
