IF you got the turn and everything is OK and you Don't have llama-banners showing (Standards and Streamers to the rest of us)then you SHOULDN'T have any problem with this game as it is set up the same way.

IF you have a problem with both games because you don't want a bigger flag then in the game just say so and we will delete your Pretender in this one as it hasn't started yet (at least I haven't got turn 1).

I call it LlamaBanners because that's the filename . It's Llama's modified version of the original Streamers and Standards mod (as it's called in-game). I find LlamaBanners makes it harder for me to tell what's going on in the game; it's an aesthetic preference, but a strongly-felt one.

I actually had an old copy of LlamaBanners lying around from a game that I subbed in for Squirrelloid (this was where I first developed my distaste for the mod). I can install that, but when I load the turn file, the mod automatically activates. If I don't have it installed, the game complains that I don't have llamaBanners.dm available.

So...It may be that you just have to HAVE the mod, not necessarily have it on. So you mght want to give it a shot and D/L it but don't enable it.

Gregstrom seemed to know how to do it, but didn't have the tga's available.

I had figured out that I need LlamaBanners :/. Obviously, next time, I will verify for myself before agreeing to a given set-up :/.

Thank you very much for talking to the modders for me. I'm going to send a PM to Gregstorm and try to get confirmation that it is or isn't possible, while looking at making the mod myself, before making a final decision, if that is ok.
