Flags of the Revolutionaries

[Azlahn]

Ok, here's how it goes. Mistreat the populace of your capital, and you'll have a revolution on your hands. The rebels have a flag different from your own. So far I've seen the French tricolore and a slighly modified Spanish one with the royal emblem removed. Which others have you seen? Any observed for the non-playable factions? Fictional/anachronistic ones? Please tell :)

Prussian rebels carry a tri-color flag. Orange, black and perhaps red. I forget the third color .

I didn't force a rebellion in my Prussian campaigns as I've been focusing on trying to build up factions instead of tear them down.

That day will come, however.

Black, red and gold, the modern flag of germany. I can't play the game yet but I've seen it in some screenshots.

Oh yes, I remember now.

In my next play-through as France I'm heavily considering trying to force a rebellion. Does anyone have any tips for this? Is it just as simple as hiking up taxes, destroying some theaters and calling the towns people some foul names?

[Mister V]

Russian rebels seem to carry the regular tri-color (I tried to provoke a revolution once, to see how it goes - all my armed forces were split in half roughly, and that's about 20 stacks... would've been fun to actually fight them).

High taxes and the big killer is the 3rd tab of tech. The freedom ones.

Clamour for reform is the big killer. Its taking away 14 PO points from London right now. >___>

the prussian rebels use black, red, gold the flag of the weimar republic and modern germany. it first appeared in the 19th century and achieved prominence during the 1848 revolution.

EDIT should read the whole thread befor replying... already posted nvm.

When I started out with Prussia I just maxed out the taxes, moved out my armies and just went through 2-3 turns without doing much (exept raking in the cash from the extortionate taxes) and although a few buildings got damaged along the way, and I lost one town to rebels, it doesnt take long for an all out rebellion.

It was actually a lot of fun as I didn't know what to expect. I got all confused when I sided with the rebels and my armies buggered off

[Beskar]

I was upset the Russian revolutions didn't have the October Revolutionist flag.

[Subotan]

I wanna play as a megalomaniac autocrat, suffer a rebellion and then obliterate the rebels, crushing all resistance beneath the tyrannical heels of my loyal grenadiers.

What is that? Surely not the Hammer and Sickle?

Crazy people, communism as a political system only existed in the 19th century..

Isn't total war supposed to be historical; but give you the chance to force an alternate histroy?

[A Very Super Market]

Right, but you can't suddenly invent communism, can you?

[Azlahn]

It seems like the Swedes get a uniformly blue flag with a "reversed" flag (i.e. blue cross on a yellow background in the upper left corner. This one appears completely ahistorical.

Its highly unlikely that a movement based around the Industrial revolution would appear prior to it.

Of course, thats just Marxist Communism. The basic ideas of Communism have been around for thousands of years.

This is exactly what I was arguing in the EB forums. We should have been able to have an Industrial Revolution in Antiquity, using the power of the Aeolopile.

[Beskar]

I am betting the expansion will be the 19th Century, but I hope that they really do add the rest of the World in the game, even if some areas are left as just trade zone ports.

Imagine having different various systems within the game. You install a communist government and you have no upper class problems, but might suffer on tax income a little as there is no upper class to tax.

Anyway, just as a point how the game is atypical itself. Communist Manifesto came out even before America abolished slavery, yet, you can have the technology skill researched for that freedom in the 1700's.

If you revolt as Poland-Lithuania, you'll get the modern day Poland flag.

Also, I heard at TW Center that if you revolt as Marathas, you get the modern day India flag.

[Subotan]

My bet is that you will be able to play in "The East" in any new expansion that comes out. China/Japan/Korea/Indochina?

[Mailman653]

The English republic flag is a hoot, bring Oliver Cromwell's dream back to life!

[Marius Dynamite]

Black, red and gold, the modern flag of germany. I can't play the game yet but I've seen it in some screenshots.

I almost kissed my monitor when I seen this appear after my self made revolution in my Prussian campaign.

I had been uniting the Germany states, Wurtemburg, Westphalia, Hannover, Bavaria , West Prussia etc. and adding in the Germany flag on top of that was awesome, and I didn't expect it!

Now if only I could rename cities and my faction. It would be nice to be able to call myself Germany now rather than Prussia.

You could just wait until 1843 when Marx published his communist manifesto...

Or if you're in a highly religious country... you could get people to unite under the name of god and provoke a religious communist revolution.

[Subotan]

Yeah, there's no reason to be a Marxist.

[Monarch]

This is off topic, but personally I'm expecting an American Civil War campaign. If it's like Kingdoms then other 19th century ones too, like Waterloo. But ye...american civil war, for ther same reason ETW has the American Revolution campaign tacked on - to sell copies in the US.

[pevergreen]

There's so many emerging factions. Naples & Sicily is one! Weird flag too.
