Default Re: Flag Mod V0.01

A couple of the shields are a bit undistinctive:

Arco. Looks like the Dallas Cowboys.
Marignon. What is it? Looks like a leaky faucet.
Mictlan is Black Power? I would've though Machaka if anyone. A hand holding up a still-beating heart, or something with feathers, might be better... Gory, but thematic for Aztecs.
Man: I don't like the skull. Why not an embossed paladin, with a prominant jousting lance?
Pythium. Does NOT make me think Pythium. A hydra or leigonairre's helmet might work...
I like all the others.

Now, for the background shields:

Abysia: A yellow flame on a red shield, or the current flame on a coal-black shield, would be good.

Atlantis: Add some seaweed. A sea-blue background with green seaweed and a trident (gleaming gold?) would look nice. I'm unsure of the trident color, though.

Machaka: Make the shield orange.

Caelum: Maybe a white wing on a blue background, with snow falling? Little fuzzy white circles would suffice for snow. Hmmm... but red seems very un-Caelean.

Ulm: I like it, but maybe... Ulm Dark Blue anvil, Ulm Dark Blue steel for the hammer, and orangey sparks at the contact point? Or else light gray stuff on an Ulm Dark Blue shield...

Overall, I like these a lot! So feel free to toss my suggestions=) But one thing I suggest you NOT ignore:

Put all your icons, and your readme, in a subfolder, so the only additions to the mod folder are your subfolder and the dm file. therwise it gets cluttered, and readmes overwrite each other.

Edit: If you change shield shapes, I suppose it should be obvious which goes with what=) But some nations have no shields. So... Again, for Ermor... maybe no shield, but just a tattered, decaying flag? And Man, I think, would look better with a kite than round shield, if it had a paladin emblem.
