Well then: The flag of the Helvetic Republic when under French rule from 1798 to 1803 (it already has a nice Jamaican touch to it 😉). You won't find it on a ship but the Swiss served regularly in the Caribbean under the king, for example the Régiment de Hallwyl which served on Martinique, Santo Domingo and Louisana (and took quarter on the King's ships) : https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Régiment_de_Hallwyl 1

LeBoiteux Posted March 23, 2019 Posted March 23, 2019 2 minutes ago, Jean de la Rochelle said: Flag of Martinique where France's in-game capital of Fort Royal is located: This flag was used by traders that sailed from/to the Martinique, ie mainly by slavers. Nowadays, this flag is connected with slavery in this island. Thus, it could be very offensive in a game.
Njord Posted March 23, 2019 Posted March 23, 2019 Really disappointed with this one to be honest... the relationship between Prussia and Bavaria was one of mistrust and rather hostile. Despite being a army and not a navy flag, it is much more likely a prussian ship would have flown a flag like this. "Bavaria river fleet" flag as "national flag of the kingdom of prussia" seems like a joke. I'm happy for everyone using and liking the flag but I really cringe hard every time I see it in game... 1

Frozen Posted March 29, 2019 Posted March 29, 2019 First Texan Navy Ensign Flag of the Texan navy until annexation
Anolytic Posted April 1, 2019 Posted April 1, 2019 Why do we not have the "King's Colours" in the game as a flag for the Brits? I guess it may not have been flown from the stern of a ship in plain form, but there are other flags in the DLC that were not used at sea (French infantry-flag), and even a completely a-historical flag (Swedish flag "King's Battle Ensign"). And the flag was flown on ships, even if possibly not from the stern: Also based on this picture, if we want more diversity in flags, how about making another version of this: Only with the Saint George's Cross significantly larger? On the above painting it looks like the St George's Cross is about 1/4th of the flag. On the topic of Swedish flags though: While I hate the King's Battle Ensign abomination of a flag (just to make it slightly less horrible, could you consider even to rework it just to remove the Coat of Arms of King Gustav Vasa from the middle of it?), I acknowledge the need for more Swedish flags. I would advocate for more diverse flags however, and history provides some good flags to pick from. I've mentioned them before, but I would reiterate: The flag on the stern of the closest ship in the picture above. Also found here: and here: It is also similar to the current and historical (probably same origin) flag of Reval (Tallin), which during a (small) part of the historical period of this game was Swedish: An historical representation: Then there's the Riga flag, another Swedish possession in this time-period. There are some slightly differing representations of this flag, but all with the keys from the CoA of Riga on a background made by the Swedish flag: Then there's the Strahlsund flag: The town was Swedish inside the period of this game. So the flag is not out of question, and differs greatly from the other Swedish flags in the game. Lastly there's another version of the all blue, three-tongued flag: The Armed Fleet Command's Flag 1
Anolytic Posted April 6, 2019 Posted April 6, 2019 (edited) I actually found a "source" of the flag named the "King's Battle Ensign": It looks like it might be a (modern) commemorative flag, flown here from a digital representation of the Vasa maiden voyage. From the website of the Vasa Museum in Sweden. I still haven't found any indication that this flag is historically accurate in any way though. Here is the Maritime Museum in Sweden flying historical Swedish flags and it is notably missing: I really hope we get the two first flags in-game, even though they are both too early for the time-period of this game. I also hope we will have a Swedish East India Company flag, just like we have East India Company flags for other nations. Same for Danish trading companies that didn't operate in the Caribbean. EDIT: Also a painting hanging at the Vasa Museum. Though it's a little dark at the stern is flying the flag with symbols from the coat of arms, but without the Gustav Vasa CoA detail in the middle.

Since french got one already and we have the Kingdom of Bavaria flag already, that barely has anyhing to do with the Kingdom of Prussia... After all Prussia was known for its infantry. It would be much more fitting and accurate than the Bavaria flag. 2

Sang Noir Posted April 7, 2019 Posted April 7, 2019 I admit those flags for the Irish campaign are a bit preposterous by Napoleon I but maybe your artists could make something good out of it ... 😉😉
Bulwyf Posted April 26, 2019 Posted April 26, 2019 While not strictly a naval flag, would love for a variant of this to be able to be flown for the British. 2
