This pack contains the textures and models for the Banners, required by SWO-RD core. Banners are animated.

Generic units don't have flags, only province specific units have flag.

FAQ:
-Q: The banner do not appear with only this mod.
-A: The mod is for SWO-RD, which adds all the regional units to fully use the many banners. If you don't want to use SWO-RD, then you can use the banner textures and models as a resource in another mod, or make your own.

- Q: Will you make a generic version for vanilla?
- A: No, I won't. The game engine allows having the mobel and texture of the soldiers of the unit change with the faction. The shield heraldry for example could vary with each faction. The officers, including bannermen, are however shared by all factions. This means if you give a banner to a unit, then it will stay the same, whatever the faction recruiting the unit. So a full banner mod requires to have many copies of the units, to make them faction or region specific, and thus give each a different officers set, and a different banner. This is the whole point of SWO-RD: region specific units, with their own banners. It's not possible to do that for vanilla unit, unless you use more generic banners. There is another mod for that, Battle Standards from [HN].

For High Elves, units have two flags: a kingdom flag, shared by all units from the same province, and a unit specific flag, also using heraldry for this province. Both infantry and cavalry have flags.

RoR and special units (Swordmasters, Phoenix Guards, Lothern Sea Guards, Sisters of Avelorn, Dragon Princes and White Lions) have their own flag.

That's 120+ flags for High Elves alone.

---
Dark Elves have only one banner. For some minor factions such as Forgebound or Deadwood sentinels, the banenrs for individual units is almost the same. Major factions have different banners for different types of units.


---
Wood Elves
They have only one banner, for their kingdom (but all the Asrai kingdom are represented, including Atylwyth, Modryn, Cythral, etc). Two different banners, with different top (one for the male units, one for the female units).
Eternal Guards, Glade Guards, and Wildwood rangers have a banner, and also Wardancers and blade singers.

Deepwood Scouts or Waywatchers don't have banners. Stealthy units should not carry a big flag to reveal where they are!

For cavalry, glade riders have a flag, but not Wild riders or Sisters of the Thorn, since it doesn't work well with their animation IMO

---
Bretonnia
- peasant, men at arms and yeomen have only one flag, the main flag of their dukedom.
- Knights (errant, realm and questing) have two flags. The dukedom flag, shared by every unit recruited in the region, and a secondary flag, randomly selected in a pool of 5 flags specific to each dukedom, matching the dfferent heraldry found on the shields. Bretonnian knights are a mitch match of different heraldry, and are not as uniformed as the Empire. Note that the flag bearer is actually a squire: the knights fight, they are too busy to hold a flag, that's the squrie role.
- Knights from the crusader factions have only one main flag.
- Grail knights and Guardians have two flags: the dukedom flag, and a special grail flag.

That's 90+ flags for Bretonnia alone.

---
The Empire
- Most units have two banners: the state flag, and a secondary banner specific to the unit, and siull inline wiht the state heraldry.
- Units from minor provinces (Sylvania, Solland, Sudenburg) or recruited via imperial supply have only the state flag, no secondary banner.
- Knight orders and RoR have their own banners.
- Empire banners often have a text... and it can be ready normally from both sides!

That's almost 300 flags for the Empire.

Dwarves
They have two banners :
- the bigger one with the hold flag, shared by all the units recruited in the same province. This one is animated.
- the smaller one is faction coloured by not animated, and displays a silver symbol, specific to the unit type (and shared by all factions).

RoR have their own flag, but only one (no hold flag for them).

Slayers don't have banners (fixing the pole directly to their bare chest instead of the cuirass was too painful, several slayers died during the test).


---
Greenskins:
-Tribal units have two banners. One is the Tribe (i.e. faction) flag, and is shared by all units recruited in the province. It is slighlty animated. The other, a bit smaller, is specific to the unit type, shared by all units of this type. It is not animated, but is faction coloured, and comes with 4 different versions, more or less damaged, for more variety.
-Waaghh units have only the unit type small banner (no tribe banners). Generic units don't have banners.

Goblin and Orcs units all have banners except Chariot, Spider Rider and Squig hoppers. Monsters don't have banners

---
Skavens:
- Only one banner with the clan heraldry.
- Skavenslaves, Clan Rats, Stormvermin, Monks and Gunners (night runner, gutter runners) have a banner. RoR have their own flag
- Death Runners don't have a banner, they want to be stealthy.
- Weapons Teams (including Globadiers) don't have banners. I think it would look weird with their animation, or attached to back with their equipment.

Two types of banner: simple one with no ornament nor bell for skavenslaves, clan rats and runners. More complex one with bell and ornament for Monks, Stormvermin.

---
Lizardmen:
- One banner per unit, not animated (stone doesn't wave as much in the wind as cloth banner).
- 6 small variations for different types of units.
- All Saurus/Skink units have banners except Chameleon and Flying units.

---
Norsca
- One banner per unit, animated, based on the tribe (and so province of recruitment)
- 3 small variations for different types of units. (infantry, champion, cavalry)
- Banner is attached on back

---
Tomb Kings:
- One banner per unit, animated, based on province of recruitment.
- 4 types of banners with slightly different ornaments: archers, skeleton infantry, tomb Guards, Skeleton Cavalry
- Other unit types don't have banners.

---
Vampire Counts:
- One banner per unit, animated, based on province of recruitment.
- 5 types of banners with slightly different ornaments: blood knights, black nights, grave guards, skeletonsr, zombie
- Other unit types don't have banners.


--
Beastmen and Chaos
- As a horde faction, they cannot use regional recruitment. And so they don't have banners.

I mod for free and will always keep it this way. But an extensive mod means hundreds of hours spent modding! If you want to show your appreciation, a small donation is always welcome.

I've done new banners for Kislev and Cathay, but real animated ones. I'd like to port this mod, but
- I want to do the regional recruitement for all races first, since I need regional units or regional banners are kind of useles
- I'm not sure if I just ort the existing banner with pseudo animation via wind effect, or go for real animated one. They look better, but are much longer to do.

Do you plan on converting theese to total war warhammer 3?
stephane.f.david  [автор] 15 апр. 2022 в 9:39 
Any battle ? Or only when using specific races or units?

Hey i am getting CTD when I am playing the battles in the campagin, I have no other mods, only using the SWO RD pack. Any ideas why??
stephane.f.david  [автор] 18 ян. 2022 в 20:49 
It works if you use it properly... With SWO-RD, or if you use it as a resource and do some manual work to associated the banners with other mods.

I find it ! thank you to your quick answer and thank you again for this very good mod :)

probably. Regional recruitment requires a specific campaign map, the startpos (to add the resources to the region). If you have another mod also changing the campaign map, it's not possible to have them compatible. Other modding parts, like script or change in table, could work together (they may have conflict, but it could be solved). Startpos changes cannot be made compatible, as the game can only load one startpos.
