(Updated) Better Flags - Nordic (Swastika)

That makes sense, I can see it now that you say it, as a custom piece it is pretty good tbh, personally I lean more towards circle. Yeah ingame rendering is but one of many issues, as well as heavily outdated engine xD

You're probably right! It would make a lot of sense. However, if I recall correctly, when making these flags this was my process: I first tried to look up either the political party named in the game and use their historical symbols. In the case of Finland I used the symbol of the Finnish Patriotic People's Movement, which was the successor movement of a previous similar movement that got banned after 1932. Had they used a swastika I would've probably used that.

Secondly, tried to find other, more unique yet still historically feasible symbols to use for the countries that didn't actually come under occupation. For Denmark and Iceland, the swastika was basically the symbol the relevant party used. And it was tricky justifying using another one. Took more creative liberties in my Non-Swastika version for those. In all honesty, Sweden would probably historically have used the Swastika, but I ended up using the Engelbrekt symbol instead.

Actually, I am using the Hirden symbol for Norway here :). I originally had the two swords in the cross two, but it looked a bit weird with the way the flags render in-game. Historically speaking, Norway's flag used the singular Yellow Nordic Cross on a red background, but I decided to add the Hirden Cross (without the two swords) To it so make it pop a little better and have some extra of personality while staying somewhat close to history.

To those of you wanting an update: I am working on how to sort this out (I know it's been a while), the mod works fine despite it saying it is the wrong version. What is prompting that warning is that the mod descriptor file has the line "supported_version="1.1.*" " in it, making the game think it is outdated for the current version. That is all, the image files still work with the current version of the game.

Back when this first happened, after the game updated from 1.1 to the next update, I tried to simply fix it, but steam workshop being what it was, simply decided to upload copies of my mod instead of updating them. I am unaccustomed to the steam workshop from a modder's point of view and thus I am probably just unaware of how to easily solve this. I am making another attempt at simply updating the mod and I guess you'll see if it worked if there's a "last updated * **, 2020 @ **:** " in the top right description :)

Finland should have a swastika. They were widely used by the country (particularly the airforce) since its independance in 1918. Would make perfect sense if the fascist version had one.

Why not use any of the original ''fascist'' flags? Like Hirden (norway) which had several flags, also closely tied in symbolism to history and past of Norway :)
