ALPINE: ROAD TO 56 FLAGS DELUXE (THE HISTORICALLY ACCURATE FLAGS OVERHAUL)
UPDATED FOR "ARMS AGAINST TYRANNY" (1.13+)
ALPINE: ROAD TO 56 FLAGS DELUXE (THE HISTORICALLY ACCURATE FLAGS OVERHAUL)
//OVERVIEW
Alpine Road to 56 Flags is a complete overhaul to all of the Road to 56’s flags aiming to be the of the highest standard and most historically accurate as possible.
– All 1484 flags improved and updated
– 180+ New unique flags variants and flags for cosmetic tags first used in this mod and added to a plethora of other mods
– Significantly less pixelation and blurring making the visual quality the 100% best of any flags for HOI4
– The most background research for any flag mod with as many flags as possible true to their original 1936-1948 timeline as possible with the closest available suitors from from the great war, interwar and cold war for the small exceptions.
– Many of the flags within have been implemented within base HOI4 as well as various mods such as R56
– 36 Flags to fix the cosmetic tag code errors prevalent since the BFTB, this and Alpine Country Names are the ONLY MODS ON THE WORKSHOP TO FIX THIS OVERSIGHT!
//COSMETIC TAG ERROR NAME FIX
Alpine Flags alongside Country Names are the only mods on the workshop to fix the cosmetic tag code errors prevalent since the BFTB DLC and pdx has done weird stuff with cosmetic tags in the code TL:DR they set it so regardless of ideology they will always for example appear as if they where fascist and the duplicate flags in this mod and names in my country names mod fix this massive oversight that only increases and gets ignored with every DLC.
An example of this occurring is with the latest DLC where the election event in ’36 uses "set_cosmetic_tag SWE_democratic" which means unless a nation is formed Sweden will remain visually democratic now matter what, but both my mods have fixed this issue.
SO FAR THIS IS THE FIRST AND ONLY MOD THAT FIXES THIS OVERSIGHT ON THE WORKSHOP
I SUGGEST ANY OTHER MOD MAKERS TO DO THE SAME AS IT’S UNLIKELY PDX WILL SOLVE THIS
//PREVIEW INFO
Preview lists and comparisons are of the vanilla version of the mod but with additional flags and the exception of Austria are exactly the same as the R56 ones.

//QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
A List of potential questions and answers you may have in relation to the mod.
– Why?
Because IMO all of the vanilla HOI4 flags are terrible in someway or another whether it be inaccurate to the time period such as France and the Soviet union, Blurs/Pixelation often seen in Tri-Colour flags where the transition between the colours is blurred making the quality worse, as well as flags inaccurate to their parties in-game such as Fascist Finland and Austria.
– Is this for political bias?
No non of the imagery used in the flags are added in for any agenda only because they’re historically accurate and I personally do not agree with historical political censorship in entertainment/media regardless of what ideology it is.
– Thoughts on other flag mods?
Great the more flag mods the better as it is my favourite aspect of HOI4 modding.
//FLAG INFO
– Repeat Flags I.E ITA_neutrality_fascism?
This is because since the BFTB DLC pdx has done weird stuff with cosmetic tags in the code TL:DR they set it so regardless of ideology they will always for example appear as if they where fascist and the duplicate flags in this mod and names in my country names mod fix this massive oversight that only increases and gets ignored with every DLC.
An example of this occurring is with the latest DLC where the election event in ’36 uses "set_cosmetic_tag SWE_democratic" which means unless a nation is formed Sweden will remain visually democratic now matter what, but both my mods have fixed this issue, cheers Paradox.
SO FAR THIS IS THE ONLY MOD THAT FIXES THIS OVERSIGHT ON THE WORKSHOP
