Now, it is important to note that all of these flags are the modern (current) flag for these nations. I assumed that is what you wanted since you discussed doing a alien invasion game which is likely to be set in the present. Otherwise I also have all of the flags for the regions you asked for with the period flag.

@Hepps I checked in Wikipedia the Mexico one is WW1.

@ff03k64 here's a link for a pile of triplea units
https://www.sendspace.com/file/72nnwm
It'll only be up for 30 days. Most of them are from veqryn, hepps and joe pants.
Some of frostion's work as well. I probably should go through his maps and consolidate all his units. He has a lot of cool ones

@ thread - if we're not going to use the map maker asset repository, I'm happy to close it down. It's exactly to fix problems like "these will be here for only 30 days", or map makers having to troll through pages and pages of forum post for what they find. Are we happy to just post here, or will ya'll move your assets to the repository? As mentioned, the repository lasts forever and can consolidate images to one zip automatically; that does seem more useful for me, but if it's not usable, then there is no point in having it.

@LaFayette I just went to git and couldn't find it in"triplea-game/triplea" searching with "map maker asset". Can you post a link and I'll post everything there

It's good to have that, but most new or casual mapmakers will not see it anyways (of course, I'm not talking about @beelee, that is one of the most experienced), I'm pretty sure. Obviously, the things that are part of the program's assets will have much more visibility, instead.
Anyways, of course people won't always add stuff to it; you cannot expect that to happen, or even happen most of the times. That doesn't mean it's useless, but it's good to remind people, as I see you've done in bold at the first post of the thread, already.
Also, anyone could do the work of also scanning the old forum and grab the stuff in there, taking it to the official repository, but that would be some work.
I also recall that there were a series of similar repositories, at least for units images, somewhere in sourceforge. I don't recall where, but I'm sure they existed (tho, of course, almost no one was aware of those, as well).

@Cernel yea was thinking git can be the main place and then people could link or pull stuff off of it for new or unfamiliar with git users and post some of that here. Smaller stuff obviously. Idk just a thought
Seems as if it'd be worth hanging onto anyway. @ff03k64 is gonna have to learn git sooner or later ( if you haven't already )
-
@LaFayette I just put these here for @ff03k64 to access immediately. I had intentions of contributing the the Git repository. Just wanted him to have the assets he needed immediately for his new adventure.

I found this nice map of the 14 main terrestrial biomes:

Added a set of monochromatic units (similar to those used in Lord of the Rings, Game of Thrones, Battle for Arda, Battle of Aventurica and others). Contains a total of 118 unit images, including many that have never been released.
All images are 40x40 pixels, and share the same style. The highlights and shadows were generated by a script. If you want to add your own images to this collection, please contact me first to ensure uniformity of style.

@alkexr I think that, while correct, "monochromatic" is not a good definition for it, as most TripleA units in the assets, as well as most games, are "monochromatic" too. Glossing over the white borders and the shades in the few pixels between them and the single colour of the main body of the image, I would rather suggest them being defined as "monotonic".

: having a uniform colorI realize calling these images "monotonic" is not strictly correct, so, if anyone has a better idea, what I'm mostly saying is just that I believe they should not be called "monochromatic" (even though that is certainly a correct definition for them).
