Need source images

[Hive]

Right, so I have been searching a lot for various source images during the past days - some with luck, some totally without luck... so if anyone here have source images for flags/CoAs for the following nations, I'd appreciate to have them posted:

Duchy of Athens
Silesia
Timurids
Suzdal
Tver
Ryazan
Sibir
Karaman
Cyprus
All the Indian states (Delhi, Vij, etc)
Aden
Hedjaz
African nations (except for the North African ones, and Mali)
North and South American natives

Now the problem isn't actually finding flags for these nations - the problem is finding historical flags for them...

But for which historical periods? For example, Athens had different CoA according to the ruler family.

True... well whichever fits the timeline 1337-1913 best.

Or if there's a couple, I might go for both - as I like to use the flagchange command.

Well, for Silesia (Lower Silesia, in fact) we used in the MES this CoA:

and the second flag of these ones:

The first use of the eagle with the crescent and cross dates from 1558. The first flag was adopted in 1882, so we used the second one that is just a banner of arms.

For the duchy of Athens you can go to Iostephanos' page where you'll find three CoA (La Roche, Brienne and Acciauoli).

Thanks, but you misundestand me - I'm not looking for EU2 shields, I'm looking for the source images used for them, as I'm currently making all new shields for my own mod featuring BJ's excellent hanging flag template.

Here's some of them, not really the best ones but they will look good when you scale them down a bit.

Athens

Cyprus

Ryazan

Silesia

Tver

 

[Hive]

Thanks.

But uhm... the only one I recognize is Cyprus, what are the others? o

EDIT: Nm, it's in the image names.

Do you have that Athen flag used in EU2 btw? I love that one...

Timurids

Suzdal

Timurids! Oh the time I spent searching for that... I'm so happy to see it!

Might I ask where the bloody h... you found the bugger?

Oh, and they do actually look quite nice when they are resized.

Thanks, but I already found those 3 by myself... the Golden Horde and Mughals took some time even...

Kongo

Lenape

Malwa (This should be a triangular flag)

Mysore

Vijyanar

Zanj

I got plenty more of these in my comp at home, think I saved all the source images for GUFSM.

I found the Timurid on FOTW

How could you miss Timurides then? They are on the follow-up page

They are? Aaaaaaaargh!

Actually, it took me quite some time before I found out that GH and Mughals were on this 'Turkish Empire' page...

Oh, and BJ: thanks for another batch, I'll get on them right away.

*bump*

BJ, if you have time one day - could you possible put the rest of your source images in a *.rar file and upload it somewhere? I would be outmost grateful...

 

[Mad King James]

One thing I wonder about is where you found the Zanj flag. The Zanj weren't one coherent entity, and the only flag for Kilwa I could find looked completely different...

Sure thing, I'll PM you the link.

Ooh, I can't remember... o
I'll have to look trough my links.

Thanks.

Back from the convention already?

Thanks.

I got home an hour ago, got a really nice hangover so I'll skip the Vasa museum and go directly to the lan game.

Hehe. Nice.

Did Slargos try to steal any ash-trays? :rofl:
