Question: Any more countries at any point possible?

[Mobhack]

There are unlikely to be any more additions to the OOB set.

The flag page is full up - Georgia uses a space for someone who was there earlier, I think, but not there post USSR.

The only other way would be to make all the flag button pages have 2 pages and a swap page button, which is clunky and would entail a heck of a lot of code.

And frankly - any additional orbats would be for minor nations and each one would bring a horde of extra OOB research and maintenance, that isn't really worth the bother. Red and Green (and possibly UN - probably the least used one!)are there for scenarios or mods for unavailable minors.

My niece and I used to use the UN oob for various "Blue Helmets Coming To Take Our Guns And Put Microchips In Our Butts" scenarios that were popular among militia types back in the 90's...

...hey, is it really any worse than the 80's-era Red Dawn scenarios that we all know and love?

What if you made it so that you could swap a flag/name out?

Essentially, you would click on:

SET PLAYER 1 NATIONALITY or SET PLAYER 2 NATIONALITY

you'd hit the COMMA key "," and it would act like the Map Generator in the map editor; only it would say:

"ENTER NATIONALITY (0...250)"

75 might swap the flag and name out with Ireland
85 might swap it out with Burma.

etc.

There would be NO OOBs or any of that. The user would be responsible for all that.

Would that be feasible?
