Revirdok flags

[Andrew]

Hey, I've been enjoying your game and just reached Revirdok.

I haven't been able to enter the city yet, but was a little surprised by the flags on the city walls.

Here's what I'm referring to: img12.imageshack.us/img12/1975/revirdok.jpg

The flag in the middle looks very similar to the war flag of Nazi Germany, here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reichskriegsflagge#Kriegsflagge

The swastika has been replaced by a bird that looks similar to the German eagle symbol. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coat_of_arms_of_Germany#Nazi_Germany

I guess I'm wondering, is this all a coincidence? Or is there some symbolism that will become clear later?

Unfortunately you can never get inside Revirdok, I never had time to make the interior. The flags are also not an intentional reference to Nazi Germany and there is no connection between it and Revirdok in the game. I just used some flags that had been created by another artist/author and they happened to have a fascist slant and mirrored those of Nazi Germany. I probably should have looked harder for something else, but once again didn't have the time and used what I already had.

Ok, no worries. I'm not offended, I just thought the flags were a little weird.

Thanks again for the game.
