Couple of stupid question...

[Finellach]

I am not sure if it has been asked already, although I am sure it was mentioned before.

Anyway I am wondering what will each nation/realm use in the game for recognition....flags or coats of arms? Or both? I've see King of Norway having a flag(although wrong one :D )
Also will every realm have it's own coat of arms/flag or will coat of arms going to be reserved only for nations/kingdoms? Or will there be both coat of arms for each realm/region/province and one for the whole nation/kingom/empire at the same time?

Also it has been mentioned few times what are the entry points in the game(1000 A.D.; 1200 A.D.; 1350 A.D.), but what will be ultimate point/year to which you will be able to play the game?

Thx. ;)

1. The game is open-end, because there is no year-counter ingame.
2. Yes, kingdoms have unique flags.
3. There are more flags than just those you can see, because, if for example rebells in Wessex (England) declare their independence they get their own flag.

no ultimate ending year. Only starting year. No year counter, so no ending year to which you can play. Game ends not in certain year, it ends only if you win (conquere whole Europe, or get elected "emperor of Europe") or lose.

I tried to move them to make coats for every realm, but when I was looking for it, I found it very hard to find right ones for Every realm. And remember, there is 155 realms and all symbols need to be drawn by BSS.

I think those 100 natons which will emerge will be far enough for BSS graphics. I also think that some nation-symbols wil be made from coats(HRE, France, England), some from flags(Denmark), some absolutely made up (esecially some Arab-Tunisia, Maghreb, Almohads- ,eastern european-Riazan, Golden Horde- or quite early ones-Balts, Khazars- where we don't know neither coat-doesn't exist- nor flag)

No ending year? Well thats interesting. :cheers:

Also, I am fully aware of the number of realms and the difficulty of creating special coat of arms for each and one of them, but as I know it will be almost equally difficult to create flags for them as well or even finding the right one coat/flag.

Either way I think it would be great if there would be included all coat of arms for each of 155 reals or at least those that are in Europe.

seen this (http://elvain.album.cz/heraldry/)?

It's source for this map (http://elvain.album.cz/heraldry/ttt4aba9c7e7754b8c1.jpg) and for this (http://elvain.album.cz/map-suggestions/ttt0dd9095b2bf98d80.jpg), this (http://elvain.album.cz/map-suggestions/ttt7c7f7b3d06e5b982.jpg) and this (http://elvain.album.cz/map-suggestions/ttt64048bb0740928a1.jpg) map. There are european coat of arms, no info about muslim equivalents

Yes I've seen all those maps and heraldics collected by you. I also must say great work :go:

Either way this is your work not in game. ;)
I would like to see those heraldics in game as in that map of all realms with coat-of-arms. ;)

Btw. have you seen this page http://www.ngw.nl/int/oos/ooshong/ooshong.htm ?
It contains all coat-of-arms of Habsburg Empire. It's a very nice collection. :bday:
