Howdy to ya'.
You might remember me from S1914! If ya' do, hi there! If not, hi there!
I'm rather crazy about detail and immersion, so thus, I need to make a few suggestions!
Glorious List:
The reason we can't change the flags and leaders is because of German Law, that is all I know. The last one sounds nice though.
With that logic, we shouldn't be allowed to post images either, because that means there's a chance somebody will post an image with a Swastika in it.Butter Ball Bill wrote:

German law doesn't prohibit me from changing my flag in Bytro's previous title, Supremacy 1914, so why now would it be an issue? In S1914, if somebody had a flag that broke the rules and/or german law, the player was reported and the flag was changed. This same system can, and preferably should be a part of Call of War.
I dunno the reason, I was told I was right and wrong before(I think) and the devs or mods or someone special said that it was because of German Law.
Personally, as one of the staff doing cleanup when images are posted, Im glad you cant alter flags & leaders....we saw enough banned content in a WWI game, WWII would be ten times worse.

All due respect then Jaws, but as a member of that staff, t'was your job to clean that stuff up. Sure, people can't seem to get the message of "DONT POST THAT FRIGGIN' SWASTIKA AGAIN!!1!1!1!!", but certain people are more stupid than others.
All'n'all, the fact you can use any (legal) flag you want is one of the things that made S1914 so great, especially for Role-Playing.
I care little for RP....the sheer amount of swastikas Ive already seen here proves its a good choice NOT to have flags changeable.
To each his own then.Jaws wrote:

Anywho. Gib Flags.
of the 5 points the changing of the flag is not allowed and the only point i dislike, RP or not, and if someone dare, then they should just get banned.
End of discussion about the flag thing.
I'd like to change my leaders name, maybe a drop down bar? We could have a choice of titles (Kaiser, president, prime minster, Chairman of the new world order)
As for flags, do what 30 Kingdoms did, lets us make one. Most flags follow a simple guideline- colour change here, an 'X' there, a few starts dotted around so the USA can count how big its country is- hell, allow military flags! The official flag of the Heer (German army) was the Iron cross: and if you're offended by the Iron cross, you stay away from the post-WW2 German army.
If people post the swastika its a simple ban. On the grand scale of things, most people don't care. I understand its against German law, but in a Private game between friends, who really cares? I mean honestly, wouldn't the Hammer and Sickle offend all those who suffered under the USSR during the cold war?
I love this game, and I'd love to see some of the best features from S1914 carried over. Don't let a few neo-nazi twats spoil the fun for everyone else.
