Formation Flags

What problem does it solve?

Without a centralized guide, modders risk inconsistent naming and broken formation flag references across mods. This skill provides a structured approach to define and verify Victoria 3 formation flag data, ensuring reliable mod behavior.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Guides adding new formation flag keys in common/military_formation_flags following the vanilla naming patterns.
• Ensures icon paths reference existing .dds assets under gfx/interface/icons/military_icons/military_formation_identity_icons.
• Provides validation guidance to avoid collisions and maintain key stability across mod updates.
• Use Case: when creating a new army formation, follow the template for key, icon, and type to ensure compatibility.

Quick Start

Create or update a formation_flag entry under common/military_formation_flags with a valid icon path and a stable key.
