Flags and the ability to change them are a really great idea.
I changed flag to pirate in stock. The pirates still follow you and sit on you, so i lured three of them into a port, then changed my flag back. Me and the fort did quite a bit of damage, but after that ships when i hoisted the english flag again ships were avoiding me when i was friendly, or not attacking me when i was enemy, just circling me on the world map. it was weird. I also hoisted a spanish flag and attacked a dutch ship but in the sea battle i hoisted my english flag and it was a pitrate?? Would be great if the Ai was using false flags too, but I'm more worried that the flag code are buggy?
Its a really cool feature - i hope not. Or at least i hope now I have GOF 1.2 installed that fixes it if it is
