But just so the question that I'm asking doesn't get lost in the shuffle, do the duplicate Austrian flags have an in-game function, or are they just artefacts of development?

Austria-Hungary couldn't really have a national flag because it was two different countries. The Hungarian flag occasionally shows up on its own in local sources, and you can catch a glimpse of it in the first postcard image. Entente propaganda is generally a very bad source for this kind of thing, ...

The game seems to have what looks a like a full set of black and yellow Austrian flags (though in an unfortunate shade of yellow). Do these flags currently serve any game function ? I'm tempted to start switching to the yellow and black flag, but don't want to interfere with a game function. And is ...

Some thoughts about the Austro-Hungarian flag

Here is the contents of my Central Powers poster collection. The thing to keep in mind when looking at these pictures is that these are the flags of the Central Powers as depicted by the Central Powers. http://i.imgur.com/82vIqn7.jpg http://i.imgur.com/PJxqz8O.jpg http://i.imgur.com/wgXU6MP.jpg http...

The thing to do is to post a list of the provinces you think have the wrong names, post a list of what you think the names should be, and post some documentation for each proposed change. 17th century Slovenia is not something that most people will get right on the first try so I think you should cu...

Then I'm going to install the 1.00 setup file, and then I'm going to install the RC patch. And just in case, I'll make a copy and patch that with the fir...

The installation path used by that patch was somewhat chaotic. The patch tried to install itself somewhere a bit odd, and when I eventually figured out where to send it I still managed to drop it into the wrong place. I think it's in the right place now because when I fire up the game 1.02RC shows u...

I figured out what the problem was. If you follow the prompts in the installer the game installs correctly, though in my case it had installed inside a Matrix folder in Program Files (x86). I had had some trouble with the configuration file and had re-installed it to C;\Matrix. That's when the scatt...

Music for watching the French and Indian Wars

Period music by Rockin' Rameau: [video]https://youtu.be/3zegtH-acXE[/video] Not sure how to do this here, but it's a link to a portion of the fourth act of Rameau's Indes Galantes (Les Sauvages). Impossible to watch Patricia Petibon walking like an Egyptian and doing the funky chicken without smiling.
