banners?

[Dutchgamer1982]

how exactly do banners work?

like if I equip a banner to a team member.. will that effect automaticly be applied to my entire army in battles?

or only if I apply the carrier of that banner to lead a division (a function I have not yet used in the game..
-It already divides them nicely in the 4 types I use automaticly..

-> and in case of troop/calvery speed boosting banners.. will it boost my party speed?

-> and if I apply a melee damage or ranged damage boosting banner to myself or a companion and I go in say arena combat.. will I still get it's bonus and will they get theirs?

Banners applies bonus to the formation your companion is captain of (if you equipped the companion with a banner). Banners doesn't stack with other banners.

Banners doesn't affect overland map speed. Nor give any bonus for tournaments, bandit hideouts, or anything NON battlefield.

and if you not create formations in a battlefield.. does that mean the banners remain ineffective too?

Banners only effective inside a squad (formation) when being equipped to the captain (companion) of that squad.

Battles and Sieges

Added Banners and the Banner Bearers feature.

Banners are equipable items for heroes that can provide various combat bonuses to the hero’s formation. They are accessible and equipable through the new inventory item slot (both for the player character and clan members).

Players can obtain banners as rewards for accomplishing various in-game tasks, defeating enemy nobles, clearing hideouts or reaching certain campaign milestones.

* AI nobles can equip and use banners.
* AI nobles can use tier 1 banners.
* AI clan leaders can use tier 2 banners.
* AI faction leaders can use tier 3 banners.

The player character and the player’s clan members can equip all tiers. A total of 45 banners with different tiers and different effects have been added.


Banner Bearers

Banner bearers are special troops that can carry a banner on the battlefield and provide various bonuses to the other troops in their formation. Each formation can have a banner bearer promoted from regular troops by assigning banner-equipped heroes to the formation during the Order of Battle phase..

In case of a banner bearer's death, their banner will stick to the ground at a 60-degree angle. Another troop in the same formation within a certain radius will take up the banner and continue to fight (cavalry included).

The player can pick up any banner of its allied troops and provide a bonus for the formation of that banner.
