Add password protected banner system for clan banners

Again it has been made in TheDeluge mod and I think it's an awesome feature that should be implemented in cRPG aswell, this would help banner balance on small server for clan members.

There are different banner packs out there, some slots are even used by multiple clans. In my opionion no clan a priority to any of these banners. So you shouldn't disallow someone to use a banner he likes.
The logic of war seems to be that if a belligerent can fight he will fight.

Would be pretty awesome if there were no banners for clanless players :) </sarcasm>

Anyway, the clan steamrolling is bad enough as it is. It's great that banner balance makes clans/friends play together, but this would cause even more of the "good team"/"crap team" thing that happens pretty often.

Password protected banners should only be implemented if clan banners are Added into the banner list not replaced. If you know what I mean. There are all the Native Banners along with the clan ones.

Yeah there would have to be a standardised banner pack as well.

Not only that, but the banners are changed so frequently and new/old ones added/removed all the time that it would require a lot of updating. It would only work if a standard banner pack could be agreed and the person updating the banner pack was able to change this. But a truly standard banner pack would probably require far more stringent rules and quality control than is currently in place with the one I manage in order to keep everyone happy.

Basically I think it would be a lot of work for something that isn't really needed. Yeah it can be annoying that lots of people stack one banner, but it's not annoying enough to warrant the work.

A simpler solution would probably be to add a crpg clan page outside of strategus. If your character joined that clan, you'd have that tag rather than just changing your chars name to include it. Then rather than balancing by banner, balancing could be done by tags. But I'm not sure if this is possible. You'd have to allow alts to join other clans though. For example my main is in GK, but my hoplite alt is in PL.

Password protected banners should only be implemented if clan banners are Added into the banner list not replaced. If you know what I mean. There are all the Native Banners along with the clan ones.

Having clan banners added to the current banners and having a standardized banner pack for cRPG that updates with the launcher on normal update would be awesome :) (however, I'm not sure if it's doable?) Password protecting the banners would make a higher steamrolling factor to the mod in general, but with banners showing in the scoreboard and all that may encourage more players to join clans.

About what clans get their banners added in the official pack, perhaps have holding a town in Strategus would grant a clan the ability to get their banner added. That way more clans would get towns in Strategus.

The goal of Strategus battles shouldnt be to deprive your enemies of players, but to have full roster both sides and have the gear/tactics/strategy win the day rather than lack of merc support.

Just change the banner balance to password balance. Every clan should be able to pick a code, distribute it among its members, which they put in somewhere on the character page so the 'banner'(pin code) balance recognizes them as a group. Banners are free for everyone, balance picks the right people. No more banner leeching. No more siege servers filled to the brim with people with the Grey Order banner. There is already a PIN system in game. Shoudn't be too hard.

As a clannie who bannerstacks quite often I disagree. Pubs need a chance too. The game shouldn't get to the point where only by being in a clan or trying to organize a bunch of random players is it possible to win. Using a clan's banner and getting stacked with them is the only form of teamwork some pubs get.

OK, but make it so when a team of random people rolls a clan-stacked team, they automatically get 5x multi or something.

Some of us won't ever join a clan, because we are grown men that just can't bear the thought of some 12 yr old squeaking at us over teamspeak to "pwn their archers you nubs!!!". We shouldn't be punished with a permanent x1.
