Banner Bearers

[Jay]

I know it's something tiny and insignificant, but I've been wanting to see Banners in battles for a long time now.

Anyone know if it's still being added, or should I use a mod for this?

You gotta love the modders over at Nexus. Still, I was wondering if they were going to be added in vanilla?

Guessing not then. Thanks for the link.

As you said, it's kinda minor feature... but maybe not entirely insignificant, especially if battle morale is adjusted to be more relevant than it is right now. Personally I think it's okay if it's pushed into post-launched update. Fingers crossed.

Small extra bit of morale loss when defeating the bearer and rallying around the bearer

There are alot of minor features that are not in the game (but should be added because they add so much) but you can find as mods.

You'd think after the warband they'd know what to incorporate in to their new game, freelancer should have been part of the base game, banner bearers too, gore option etc.

Thank you for the replies.

Yeah I know it's something minor and pointless, but it definitely adds to the overall atmosphere. The small things matter!

I just vaguely remember the Devs saying it will be added, but that was a yearish ago and I don't think anything has been mentioned since.

Yes. It will be added with the 1.0 release. That's what their video on the full release stated anyway, so I don't see why they wouldn't add it ^_^ Just have to wait for full release. But the Raise Your Banners mod works excellent until then :)

And I believe the Raise Your Banners mod raises the morale for nearby troops as well, so it's not entirely pointless ^_^ Each time you kill a banner carrier it says "Enemy Officer Killed" or something to that effect, which is a cool little feature.

Not 100% sure it actually does anything, but it's still neat. I think the official banners later on will be assigned to formations and actually give bonuses of some variety to that formation. Otherwise it's really a missed opportunity.

They'l be in-game, if we can believe the Gamescon presentation. (As you state, probably a release patch.)

They'll be found as "loot" as well, from battles and Hideout loot. There might/is awarded banners as well. I'm not sure of the actual mechanics in acquiring/upgrading them, but TW put on a big show of finally adding "Banners" to their "Bannerlord" game...

Funny thing is, I remember them talking about them early in EA when they were discussing the cloth effects on battlefields. Then... nothing substantial until that Gamescon presentation.

Pretty much all of the previews of 2.0 on youtube show banners coming in release patch at least for sieges and that was a console version.

Oh so they are coming with final release, that is awesome! Thank you for the replies everyone, glad to see I wasn't alone in this. I was feeling a bit weird sitting here being like "where the banners at?"

Looking forward to the full release, and of course the banners in whatever form they take.

Well, it is pretty weird to have their game being named 'Bannerlord' and have no actual 'Banners' in it xD

I think they just waited to release them as a thing with the final release ^_^ Which is fair I guess. At least it's some kind of a banger :D
