Hilarious mistake - flag Of Taungu

[Wektor]

Currently, the flag of Taungu kingdom in modern Burma is a realistic depiction of a tree. That's a funny mistake, that I think comes straight from EU2 era, because in reality most flags of old Burmese states depicted a peacock with unfurled tail. As far as I remember, in EU2 flag of Taungu (called Toungoo in that game) there was a small picture that was in quite low resolution - and it was indeed a a peacock, but who looked like a tree And now, in EU4 someone simply put a picture of a tree on the flag But now, I think it's time to be changed into somrthing like this - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First.../File:WikiProject_Burma_(Myanmar)_peacock.svg or one of those http://www.crwflags.com/fotw/flags/mm-hist.html

Noticed it too recently :-D
What's even more funny is that the eu4 wiki has a picture of a tree as well , but not the tree from the flag in the game!
This flag certainly has a life of its own. Hopefully it will be fixed until next patch.

Hehe, so soon there will be an end to the history of a bird who looks like a plant

Then the flag should become an easter egg event so that it never dies in Taungu.

While we're in the area, Pegu's flag currently looks like a happy fried egg (probably supposed to be a sun). We know that they historically used a flag of a golden hintha on a green background, like the first one shown on that crwflags link given by the OP. As far as I know, there's no evidence of exactly how the hintha was depicted, so the EU4 artists can take some liberties - it could be a simple silhouette like the one in the aforementioned link, or an intricate design like the current flag of Bago Region.

Also, I think that tag should be renamed to Hongsawatoi, the Mon name used at the time for the city and the kingdom, or at least Hanthawaddy, the Burmese equivalent which is more commonly used in English. Pegu/Bago (different romanisations of the same word, like Peking and Beijing) seems to be a more modern name for the city, probably of Burmese rather than Mon origin - though I'm not an expert in the history or linguistics of that region, and will happily defer to someone who knows what they're talking about.
