Love your work, it's amazing! Quick question, do you think you can change the fascist Syria flag to the SSNP party flag? I think it would make sense because you're using the now deposed Assadist flag, and it doesn't make sense. If you do do this, the emblem mod would need an update as well.

no flag changes for me

sweden keeps its flag when turned facist

I'll rework some flags soon to make them more historical. Bohemia-Moravia among them.
Kvertonian Apr 19 @ 1:38pm 
@soniidu
Because the flag you mean was not the national one, only military one.
soniidu Apr 19 @ 12:50pm 
why japan doesn't have the imperial flag
CSRZ  [author] Apr 7 @ 12:38pm 
@ChocolateMuffinY

Good point. If it's possible I'll do it.
ChocolateMuffinY Apr 7 @ 10:30am 
Can you maybe add flags for countries that are EU puppets, like in the Fire Rises mod, it would look really nice
CSRZ  [author] Apr 6 @ 9:53am 
@him_15
yeah
him_15 Apr 6 @ 12:41am 
Is this mod still working?
Kvertonian Apr 5 @ 9:27am 
@CSRZ
The actual size depends on the scaling method.
CSRZ  [author] Apr 2 @ 11:38pm 
@Kvertonian
But why? Since 13th of March update this is the flag of "fascist"/(Austrofascist) Austria. It's historically accurate:

Kvertonian Apr 2 @ 2:06pm 
Make Fascist Austria flag with bigger CoA, please
Gianlu96 [ITA] Mar 16 @ 5:57pm 
This is the best flags mod, thanks for making it
CSRZ  [author] Mar 13 @ 5:13am 
I just reuploaded the mod with the new fascist flag that was historically used by the Schuschnigg's government of that time:

@CSRZ i dont know how to mod but still highly unfortunate that it cant be made compatible with one of the most popular mods especially one so close to vanilla
CSRZ  [author] Mar 12 @ 12:52am 
I don't play RT56, so probably never.
But you can make RT56 version yourself.

All the assets from this mod are free to use.
Killinspecialist Mar 11 @ 8:35pm 
RT56 Version when? ik it would be popular
CSRZ  [author] Mar 11 @ 3:13am 
@Killinspecialist
Because Road to 56 uses it's own set of flags. This mod is for vanilla HoI4 only.
Killinspecialist Mar 10 @ 9:01pm 
when i use it with Road to 56 some of the flags stay the same as normal any idea why
CSRZ  [author] Mar 4 @ 1:36pm 
@Kvertonian
No. The flag itself didn't exist until the 1950s. I had another idea.
Kvertonian Mar 4 @ 12:04pm 
Regarding the flag of Fascist Iran from the new DLC: I think it would be right to use the real party flag (https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Flag_of_SUMKA.svg) and move the emblem to the left, just like the flag of the Nazi Party (https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Flag_of_the_NSDAP_(1920–1945).svg) is different from the state flag of Nazi Germany (https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Flag_of_Germany_(1935–1945).svg)

May we discuss it in DMs, please?
CSRZ  [author] Feb 27 @ 12:42am 
@Kvertonian
This flag is only used as an alternative flag for the Communist China if they ever change ideology (ex. via puppeting). Flag of Kuomintang aka Nationalist China stays the same for fascist, democratic and neutrality ideologies.
Kvertonian Feb 26 @ 11:27am 
There is an important question: isn't the flag of democratic China the flag of the Five Races Union? Which has five different colored stripes. It is known that it was originally used since the time of Sun Yat-sen and up to the Chiang Kai-shek rising to power. It was supposed to be a symbol of democracy.
Kvertonian Feb 24 @ 9:27am 
@CSRZ
Sorry.
Thanks.
CSRZ  [author] Feb 24 @ 5:44am 
@Kvertonian
I updated the mod.
CSRZ  [author] Feb 22 @ 11:16am 
@Aes
this is the flag of the Prussian province of Rheinland from WW2 era which was green and white (it's almost identical to the flag of Siberia):
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Flagge_Preu%C3%9Fen_-_Rheinland.svg

I also was inspired with this one, but it's identical in it's color scheme to Hungarian flag:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Flag_of_North_Rhine-Westphalia.svg

The color scheme I chose instead was based on the greater coat of arms of Rheinland with black for the Prussian eagle included in the flag:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Coat_of_Arms_of_the_Rheinland.svg

If you propose something more plausible for the flag of independent Rheinland I'll change it.
Aes Feb 22 @ 3:45am 
Hi! A question: why did you choose green-white-black for Rhineland? Did you find any historical source?
CSRZ  [author] Feb 20 @ 9:01am 
I've updated all of the screenshots. Finally all of the 1801 flags are redone and the mod is yet again complete.

I will continue to update my mods in March to make them compatible with the newest DLC.
CSRZ  [author] Feb 20 @ 8:46am 
@donald.grape
CoA was removed from Peru flag in 1950. During WW2 it was used. The flag is historically correct as is.

@JustAStopsign
No idea how's that even possible... the mod is and always was ironman compatible. I didn't add anything that could've broken previous saves.
JustAStopsign Feb 19 @ 5:45pm 
It looks like the most recent version of this mod causes saves that used the old version to crash. Is there any way to remedy this?
donald.grape Feb 19 @ 2:36pm 
So, a request here, could you make the Peru flag of all ideologies without the middle symbol? I believe it's only used on Peru flags on ceremonial occasions. The default is red-white-red without the COA symbol.
CSRZ  [author] Feb 19 @ 5:37am 
New update is up.
CSRZ  [author] Feb 11 @ 2:46pm 
@komoarad
which would be historically accurate?
komoarad Feb 10 @ 8:36am 
japans flag is not historically accurate
RockyTG Feb 4 @ 12:37pm 
How do i get this to work with the road to 56?
我不是头脑空空 Jan 14 @ 12:32am 
Thank you so much. Our Chinese people used to think that rising sun is the official flag, because it was really common in every where during the war. And also representative of that history. But I am not sure if it should be in the political occasion. However, it still beautiful. If I can see that in game on Japs army. It will be better~:steamhappy: (like this mod)
CSRZ  [author] Jan 13 @ 1:30pm 
@我不是头脑空空
Because it was not a flag of Japan - only it's navy/military.

我不是头脑空空 Jan 13 @ 12:53pm 
very good mod. but why Japanese flag not rising sun? where is the sunshine?
ComradeBrenzilla Dec 28, 2024 @ 6:47pm 
This was one of the first mods I downloaded when I got HOI4 and it helps me feel more immersed :steamthumbsup:
GrimmReaper76 Nov 23, 2024 @ 8:46am 
Love the mod. Any chance we could get a more "German Confederation" style flag for a democratic HRE? I was pleasantly surprised that democratic Germany can make it now, and I thought it might fit better.
Royal Raven Nov 20, 2024 @ 7:10pm 
Just wanted to say thank you for all your Immersion Pack - Ironman only mods. They add back that realism I wanted.

After testing them out and using them, I can not go back to the vanilla way of things. Mods like this make it more immersive to play the game and makes the war impactful, the way it was back then. That intensity should be felt in HOI4, to get the total affect.

Thanks again.
CSRZ  [author] Nov 20, 2024 @ 1:15am 
I removed white borders from the Stasserist flag and changed the shade of red to be darker (the one from the original German Reich flag). Hopefully it will make it more immersive.
Dillos Nov 19, 2024 @ 3:19pm 
@CSRZ This is pulled from the BF manifesto.

"The Black Front... fights therefore with relentless severity against the fronts of The System, regardless of whether it is the black-white-red flag of Conservative Reaction or the black-red-gold flag of Liberal Reaction which flutters above them... end on the day the system is overthrown, and then the

struggle between Black and Red

will determine the future shape of Germany."

They are describing the flag colors of the conservative monarchists (Black,white,red) and the liberal social democrats (Black,red,gold). They then go on to say that it is the black front with the colors of red and black that will defeat both. So based on that, the background of the flag should be black and the sword and hammer having a simplified design and being the color red. From what I can tell, the addition of white borders and the more detailed hammer and sword are additions made by modern Strasserists/National Bolsheviks.
CSRZ  [author] Nov 19, 2024 @ 1:53pm 
@Dillos
What was the color of the sword and a hammer? White or red or something else?
Dillos Nov 19, 2024 @ 11:30am 
This is the only historical image of a flag that I can find used by the Black Front from 1931.

CSRZ  [author] Nov 19, 2024 @ 10:38am 
I know absolutely nothing about Strasserism. Did they use any flag in the 1930s or 1940s? Or should it be a custom/fake flag?
Dillos Nov 19, 2024 @ 7:34am 
Would a flag like this one be more realistic for a Strasserist Germany? Just because it features the original design of the movement? The one included in the mod is the modern version from what I can tell.
