I have a question:

Why in Clausewitz games are the map files (provinces.bmp, terrain.bmp, etc.) vertically flipped. Why are they not oriented in the normal north is up fashion?
Probably because of the way the BMP file is structured. Image data is stored in rows, but the first row in the file corresponds to the bottommost row in the image, and the last row in the file corresponds to the topmost row in the image. Thus, it's easier to read if the image is upside down, as then one doesn't have to worry about reversing the rows, but instead can just read them in the order of the file, flipping the upside down image right side up.

Why? There is a "Join Date" already plainly visible.
 
2010-2019.



Hm, maybe between 0-60%. Haven't really though about it. :)

It was a discussion that came up in a social group with a lot of old timers (The under 10,000's). You know old people they like shinny things :D
 
I dont't mean to spoil your fun, but official 2001 was the first year of decade/century/milenium. So this decade is realy just ending now ;)
Ah, but the "new millenium" in 2000 changed all that! :rofl:

You have still some time to think about it.....at least until 13-11-2010. :D

A new symbol would be funny..sure. Maybe something like this:
images


Or Paradox could show the "Join Date" in golden letters. :D
