Just I created the new flag of Poland. I don't know, whether is better, but other surely. I have only a problem with the enclose this flag to "Polish Mod" (something doesn't want to work ). Checked on the mod American Revolution (work as British Empire and Spain). There all is OK, is so surely the matter of settings in mod files.

Having Poland will be good for real world maps too, since no Eastern Europe nation between Germany and Russia is currently in the game and Poland would be the best choice.

Choices of leaders are good. Although in truth Sobiensky ruled at a point where the Polish monarchy was already very weak. He was a great warrior king though and could have resored Poland to its former glory if the Aristocrats had maintained their duties as a warrior class.

(As much as he hated the Ottomens, Sobeinsky should have wailted for Austria to fall and then take it from the Turks, keeping it for himself).

That's very nice!

Does anyone know how to make this one into a button too (so it can be used in civilopedia)?

The next flag. I think is more nice and better.

I tried using it, but the eagle just displays red on red (the same colour settings as my mod). Is this done in the same format?

I am looking forward to have the mod included with the European civs mod.

Here are some more portraits of the two rulers you can use while making the leaderheads.

Here is Casimir:

(this is the bigger version of the same portrait I posted already - unfortunately I can't seem to find the bigger version that is also coloured)

And more of Sobieski:

As for background, an interior of some cathedral for Casimir would be probably the best, and for Sobieski possibly Wilanow - the palace he built himself (or some sort of a battlefield, featuring Polish flag).

Wilanow looks like this:

Since the first version of the mod has been already posted here:

I propose we continue the discussion about the mod there instead of this thread.
