Ok, in all seriousness no game should include Streamers and Standards.

Here's the skinny - Streamers and Standards is merely cosmetic, so it doesn't matter if one person is using the *content* of the mod and another isn't. However, if the mod is included in the game, the game will look for the .dm file. So you can remove the effect of the mod by deleting most of the content (basically, all the actual commands that change flags - leave the heading stuff at top). However, at the same time, someone could *always* play with streamers and standards by appending the functional text at the end of another included mod.

The reason why the second is preferable (people who want to use it include it at the end of another mod) is because occasionally Streamers and Standards is actually useful. Ie, if you end up playing a multi-era game. At which point you now have to overwrite your blank streamers and standards mod to use it, and if you're playing in that game and a single-age game with S+S you now have to use S+S for both of them, or delete/re-install *every turn*.

So its much more convenient if the people who actively want to use S+S just append it to the end of CBM. Then they can always look at those ugly flag graphics, and those of us who don't want our graphics changed for regular games don't need to have a dummy copy of S+S lying around.

OK, I uploaded my god. Good luck to everyone, and especially me (I expect to need it)!
