Improved Colony Flags
This mod changes the dynamic colonial nations to less dynamical counterparts with more historical flags.
The mod is restricted to colonies for:
– Spain
– Portugal
– Great Britain
– France
– Netherlands
– Russia
– Denmark
– Sweden
– Norway
– Scandinavia
As some of these nations did not have colonies in all in-game colonial regions, some of the new colonial nations have entirely made-up names, while the use of flags have sometimes been extrapolated, but always within a certain historical logic. (For example, the Red Ensign is used for Britain’s North Atlantic and Caribbean colonies, while the Blue Ensign is used in the South Atlantic, Pacific and Oceanic colonies.) For names, I have tried to base them on historical data to the best of my ability. (For example, French Eastern America will be called Nova Gallia, after the name Giovanni Verrazzano gave to the area when exploring the Eastern American coast line for King Francis I.)
Please note that dynamic colonial nations will still form for the nations listed above, but they will transform in their modded counterpart after a few in-game days. Also, when starting the game on a later date, the game will be filled with dynamic colonial nations, which will be transformed in their more historical counterpart after a few in-game days (as shown in the screenshots).
WARNING NOTES:
– Not ironman compatible.
– As of recently the mod prevents you from colonizing inland provinces where a historical colony has been formed. Unfortunately, I have yet to solve this issue. However, your colony will still colonize inland provinces for you. In order to help you with that, I recommend using this mod: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1961114540. In my opinion, this also tends to give the colonial expansion a more historical pace (no fully developped Nebraska in 1600). Meanwhile, I will try to solve this issue.
