If you're wondering why I chose the colors for Yerba Buena that I did, EC, I wanted to use at least one color apiece from the flags of Spain, the Netherlands, and Italy, because I envision many of the people in Yerba Buena being from those countries, if they came to Yerba Buena as immigrants to Prokiru. While I haven't yet decided on Yerba Buena's backstory for sure, there may also be some plains and/or prairie-like terrain, at least, near it, if not where it is, so that's why I included the sage/gold color on the uniforms as well.

I believe I have used your suggestions in the past at least every so often, although many times, I admit it may seem like I haven't done so to you. Granted, we do have many differences between us in our usual tastes in a graphics-related sense, but we're not as different from each other in that sense as you may think, I believe.

Your idea of traditional styles and colors is certainly different from mine in many cases, especially when you are talking about real-world places and all, for sure. But as I've said before, for fictional places, what may be considered traditional in the real world may not necessarily be the case for them entirely, if at all.

Slaabovia, for instance, isn't based entirely on one particular culture or another, in truth. While it definitely has some rather long and still-strong influences remaining from various real-world nations, either historical, or current, who actually had people from each of them present in its territory for at least a few centuries apiece, it still has its own native traditions as well.

For instance, bright colors are often worn in many places all over the country much of the year, especially on sporting uniforms like baseball ones, even in the territories. Hence why many of my teams in Slaabovia have rather bright colors for their uniforms at times. I hope eventually to be able to get back to my Slaabovia-related dynasties soon, if and when I can finally be able to complete Lighting Up the Darkness well enough somehow, in truth. It's not fun being stuck when you're trying to complete something you've already been working on whenever possible for a rather long time, for sure.

Thank you for your time and attention and honesty and all here. It is quite refreshing, honestly, when someone cares enough for another person, a person like me, for instance, to tell them the truth as fairly and as lovingly and all as possible. I'm really glad you care enough for me not to deliberately lie to me at all, EC, if you can possibly ever avoid doing so somehow at all. I suppose you could say, in a sense, that it may even make my heart sing at times, even if I can't actually hear what it may be singing at times here, for your information. But even if my heart sings and I can't hear it, I'm quite sure that our Lord can still hear it sing whenever it does, even if I can't at a particular time in my life, without any doubt at all in my mind here.

I'll talk more later, if and when I can and all, I'm quite sure, EC. Thanks again for everything you've done for me, and I greatly appreciate it all, most definitely. I hope you had a great Thanksgiving Day with those you love, where and how it was possible for you, in any case. Actually, we should all treat each day as Thanksgiving Day, if you really think about it, and give our Maker our thanks and praise and our worship and everything we have daily. At least as best as we each can and all, and especially our burdens, which He is fully able to bear upon Himself, so we can take on His light yoke instead, and feel refreshed every day in the lightness of peace that He will give us, if we give Him our burdens and all from our respective lives, for sure. CD out.
