Blood Flag of the Dreadfleet

Description
While the black flag bearing skulls and crossbones has firmly cemented itself in the public conscienceness as the icon of the Golden Age of Piracy, when it began in the 17th Century, the red "blood flag" was more popular, and even more dreaded - whereas the black flag signified that surrendering sailors would be spared for ransom, the blood flag threatened a massacre with no quarter given. It is one of the possible origins of the term "Jolly Roger", as a cockneyed form of French "joli rouge", "Pretty Red".

Inspired by this historical context, as well as the stiking colouration of the branchial plumes of the deep sea tubeworm Riftia, this mod edits the banner and faction colours of Count Noctilus to a deep blood-red.

Legit question, I've noticed a few of these mods popping up all of a sudden from different creators, Is there a reason they've started showing up? Just out of curiosity.

I think we can all agree that the reason we want this mod is because we don't want to play as the Pinkfleet, at least that's how it is for me.

Great work btw, I do really love the new color. Just needs a simple fix is all :)

Gotta rename the "unknown" table to make this more compatible with other mods. I renamed it to "!!noctilus_blood_flag" for example, that way it overrides any other mods that touch faction color tables.

Interesting factoid about Jolly Roger. Re-write the description and title for the first defunct one and link this page. Something like "OUTDATED: LINK TO REUPLOAD IN DESCRIPTION". That's what others do, and it works easily enough.

This mod is incompatible with Unique Faction UI, whenever they're used together the new Dreadfleet colors reverts to the vanilla ones.
