Same banner for all players.

IMO, in strategus all the players should play with the banner of the faction that they are mercing for.

It`s not such a big change, but it will help the immersion a bit.

would help a lot
sometimes in big fights I have no idea who is enemy and who is friends

really good idea IMO

Most importantly it would make armies wearing heraldic mail look fucking badass

What if you want to show off your little vassal bitches?

I think a good feature if this was implemented would be a check-mark where you could request that the battle commander allows you to use your own banner instead of the faction's.

When i initially saw the title of this thread, I was thinking you were refering to a banner slot, that was literally open to all players. This was an idea I had a while back, just for fun. Make one banner and get as many people to join it as possible. Balance seems so terrible sometimes, that maybe this plan would render us with 1/3 of the winning team dead

I prefer seeing what factions are fighting for who, and enjoying all that different heraldic swag. It's nice and imo helps immersion, with lords and knights and shit using their personal heraldry on the battlefields of old.

But, it'd be a cool option to have for commanders.

You'd still have to id the ones without icons as being the enemy.

Why not? Simple is good, and it's written Shu Han on mandarin afaik.

If you wanted to disrespect Korgoth's banner you should take a look at your own.

Oooooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

The only problem with this is, is that its hard to tell people apart whe you are in the middle of the fight.

What i mean is if someone isnt following orders and hasn't got a different banner how are you meant to know who it is?, Multiple times a battle you  re saying 'guy with the merc banner get back here or flank left'.

What are you meant to say instead? Guy with banner come back now, or you have to go ansd risk going to get shot just to find out who it is.

They could still have their personal banner as the icon above their head, but wear the faction banner when it comes to heraldic armour and shields. Definitely agree with this one, will make heraldic armies look fucking badass instead of looking like a damn rainbow. Also, it will allow me to wear heraldic armour without getting focused by all the ranged.

I thought of that before as well. But it is actually pointless. Once a big number of players from the same clan get stacked in one of the teams, the other team is already essentially represented as the joined forces of clanless players. At this point, it doesn't really matter if you have the same banner or not. After all, organized teamplay renders bannerstacked players stronger. The others will remain unorganized in any case.

Also, despite not being a strat regular, I approve of Panos' suggestion.
