Flag Issue

[tag]

I was looking at the Guild Maker image on the site and noticed a small graphical error. There were three flags pointing in different directions. Arrakis must have some pretty strange weather patterns, after all. Of course, it's inconsequential to gameplay but the glitch can be a bit annoying from a realist point of view.

It would have been nice for the flags to be "turreted." The one on the Atreides Minotaurus would have been especially neat, seeing it move with the direction of the Minotaurus and then return to the wind direction after the unit had stopped. Even more clever would have been to have the wind direction subtly change throughout the game. Imagine the effect when all is still and the only movement is the flags rotating in accordance to the new direction.

Still, if that's an example of the game at its worst, I think I'll count us lucky indeed.
