I voted no because in battles I use the different battalion flags to break my troops up into different units using the flags to rally around. If the flags were all the same it would be pretty useless to do this!

For Strategus though, you could have each subgroup commander pick a different banner before the match starts. Problem solved.

How would you fight if you were leading and you had that kind of thing in your hands?
Аny way, to kill frags not the main mission of the standard-bearer. It would be more realistic.

And if you speak

And I don't like the idea of making everything heraldic.

Could it be possible that battalion flag would be displayed with same image that the carrier has in his banner?
It is not heraldic?

Sorry I am stupid :D. Word "heraldic" means mostly templar gear to me and I was thinking of somekind of fancy weirdly shaped flag :D

uhm, how about you just make an item with a flag on top, like in mount&musket, if you drop it, it stands straight up?

I like the idea of having a physical flag to carry. Would mean someone would have to be a dedicated flag man, and there would possibly have to be different variants unless you can tie the groups flag to the groups banner? But it would be cool to have. It is a good addition in mount&musket.

A dedicated flag carrier would be more realistic, but I don't like the idea of making one man in the group comletely unable to fight. There is a reason, because unlike in mount & musket, we mainly use smaller squads (because randomers don't usually care so much about the flag) flanking or doing whatever and if one from the small squad is unable to fight it is not really reasonable to carry a flag.

we use big squad :)
Nobody will force you to take such flag if you don't want. But there should be a possibility to take it.

You can use your big squads but there shoud still be possibility to use flag with smaller ones too without loosing men to such things as carrying a poleflag.

Make the flag:

lowish price
polearm-two handed
1 slot unsheathable
lowish speed
overhead swing low blunt
thrust low pierce or low blunt

If the flag is dropped it stands straight up. The flag carrier still has 3 slots to use. Shield, sword, flag, badda bing badda boom.
