Thanks for your input,
unfortunately I am weary about changing the flag design because if I do this, it automaticaly mean I have to redo also the flag the merchant and warship inside the game models.
I don't want that for now.
Also note that the entire flag occurance is depending on the mod you are using. They won't show up if they don't have these additionnal countries. Removing or adding flags won't have any effect on game.
You can however post about it in the GW errata thread since most of my flags comes from them. I'm pretty sure they will listen to you and make the changes in a future patch.
