Default Re: Modify objective flags - mod request

The mod can only replace existing objective flags.

If a nation/OOB only uses one flag from 1946-2020 then they can only have one roundel.

If a nation uses one flag up to 1960 and then another from 1961 to 2020, that nation could have one roundel up to 1960 and another roundel from 1961 to 2020. Or both flags could be replaced by the same roundel - if appropriate - then the nation would only have one roundel from 1946 to 2020.

In most cases roundels change when flags change, because roundels usually represent the flags/heraldry in some way.

Nations sometimes change roundels even though their flags have not changed. Which will likely be more of an issue over the 75 years of SPMBT than it is for the 17 years of SPWW2.
But in those cases you'd have to decide to go with the most recognisable, longest serving, or perhaps the most recent roundel.

With a project like SPMBT (with almost 100 nations) you may want to just create a mod for the most used OOB.
