Flags and Banners appears on many campaign and skirmish maps purely as background props. A blank version of the flag serves as special key structure in gamemode Assault and Capture.
Overview[]
As of Version 3.3.6, there are 50 flags in the game.
There exist a flag for each of the subfactions under Allied Nations,
Soviet Union, and
Foehn Revolt. The Foehn ones are holoflags.
Most of the flags are national flags. They are generally civilian props in the campaign, although they are sometimes used to indicate the country's association with subfactions that are supernational organizations in nature, particularly European Alliance, Pacific Front, and Latin Confederation. While United States, Russia, and China are countries, their flags are also frequently used in the bases of the subfactions around the world in addition to being used as civilian props within their homelands.
Below is a table of all countries and subfactions with flags (excluding Foehn subfactions) by geographical location in alphabetical order with known affiliation marked:
Americas | Europe | Asia and Oceania | Africa |
---|---|---|---|

8 smaller flags and banners also appears throughout the campaign:
- Allied flag
- Epsilon banner (Yuri Banner)
- Epsilon HQ banner
- Japanese banner (dolphin)
- Japanese banner (sun)
- Small United States flag
- PsiCorps banner
- Scorpion Cell banner
Blank Flag[]
The Blank Flag is a special structure that only appears in Assault and Capture modes. In Capture gamemode, the Blank Flag is immune to all damage but may be captured by an Engineer; while in Assault gamemode, it has a large health pool but cannot be captured. Destroying or Capturing a flag will cause its owner to be DEFEATED immediately, so protecting your own Blank Flag is a must. Even the A.I.s will wall their flags up.
The Blank Flag is immune to Chrono Legionnaire's weapon, cannot be buffed by Nanocoat Regulators, and may not be Chronolifted to other places.

Behind the scenes[]
- Prior to version 3.3.5, the Chinese flag used the apperance in reality, different from the Mental Omega's exclusively-designed, fictional flag (see here). Its artwork was also rougher.
- Prior to version 3.3.5, the shadow of Japanese flag was incomplete, it only has the part from the flagpole. Its artwork was also rougher.
Trivia[]
- The two Japanese banners are based on the Empire of the Rising Sun banners from Red Alert 3; the tiger shark marking is apparently mistaken for a dolphin.
