Who cares about alliance problems, what about the units!?

It's supposed to. I imagine the mock-worried tone of the post didn't come through right. Units are currently colored by their team color, so if flags stood in for colors, the units might look ridiculous. It's a joke.

Which flags to use? There certainly isn't a decent Africa flag or South America flag, and i certainly wouldn't like it if Europe sed the EU flag.

No you idiots. The idea is to design your own flags, kind of like ingame avatars. and dont just bash new ideas, try and develop them.

Why should they make an exception for you? :)

Seriously, apart from the usual is-it-really-worth-the-effort question, palehorse864's question needs to be addressed. How do you label the units? Preferably in a way that works with all mods.

I also note that you can already draw your map on the whiteboard :)

I think my question was perfectly valid, and would have to be addressed for the flag idea to work. Please calm down.

The flag only shows on the score board (also when you are searching for people to play) and when you press territory button under/behind your name. Every strong nation/empire /super power, whatever it is we are pretening to be, needs a flag. A nation without a flag is as bad as my vocabulary without like, whatever

Oh, I thought you meant that the team colors were replaced by a flag.

I think it's not a bad idea. Especially for searching friends because the server browser finds only a few servers! They had bottlenecks in the beginning so this could be worth trying...

Assuming the flags had enough resolution, this could be a cool idea. I think there are better improvements for IV to spend time on, but if they decided to throw this in without a lot of delay in other areas, I would love it.
