Mod: New Mod: Streamers & Standards (Update v3.30)

[Ighalli]

This is amazing work! Thank you!

[PvK]

Beautiful!

Glad you like it PvK!

As Zen suggested here earlier, I have updated Pangaea's flags with a green leaf, golden leaf, and brown leaf motif for the Early, Middle, and Late Ages repectively and will include those flags in a v1.1 update soon. Any other ideas for improvements or changes?

[HoneyBadger]

Definitely worthy. Does anyone want to take the time to post a shot of Zepath's flags? I can't download on this computer, and my personal computer is flakey at best.

Zepath, the changing leaves motif is a good one, my only thought is that a nation might not feel comfortable or help themselves out by identifying themselves with a living, vital thing growing old and withered and dead, especially one connected so intrinsically to nature. If I might suggest: a green, living leaf for early age, a bright ornate copper leaf for middle, and finally a hard edged, shining, metallic leaf that resembles more the head of a noble's partizan than that of a growing plant. It still captures your point, but in a more subtle way that wouldn't invite apathy.

Since the Pan end up turning to death magic to get revenge at the world in the Late Ages I'm quite comfortable seeing that nation represented by dead leaves. Anyway, you may have misunderstood what my flags look like. We're talking about cloth banners depicted hanging from wooden or metal cross-bars and ornamented with some kind of appropriate icon on top of the cross. As for these new Pangaea flags, which I have not yet released, the cloth portions of the flags have been changed from a simple color and texture (bright green in this case) to what resembles a cloth made of leaves. Anyway, I don't think the Pan really care how we illustrate which provinces they control and won't be offended by the use of dead leaves in their icon. Nor will most players. But if that still "invites apathy" for you, I might suggest drawing different flags and plugging them into the mod as you see fit.

[HoneyBadger]

My appologies. I haven't seen your artwork yet, afterall, so mine was a knee-jerk reation and I misinterpreted the Pan's outrage (my new take) for apathy (my old take).

Ofcourse, the Pans themselves aren't going to care, being little bits of digital information, I was thinking as far as background story and how a nation of living, breathing beings MIGHT feel. My post wasn't meant to criticise afterall, only to consider perspectives. As far as making flags myself: as I mention, yours is a worthy endeavor.

[zepath]

Honeybadger, no big deal bro.

Just an FYI to all, Streamers & Standards has been updated to version 3.1 with a couple new flags and some revisions. Check it out!

[Zen]

Looks good, I really like the early and middle eras of Pan now. However, I think the LA isn't exactly right. Maybe it's just all the grey.

Thought about putting some of the carrion green on either A.) The horns or B.) The siding. Or Black (like the Black Centaur/Pandmoniac/Black Dryad) along the sides.

[zepath]

Carrion vines around the horns/skull would be a great idea. Thanks again, Zen.

FYI, updated again with a revised LA Pangaea flag per Zen's additional suggestion.
