This has always been a problem with this mod and I knew this when installing it again. It makes the unit banners in battles disappear not only for The Third Age (which is a good touch), but also for vanilla Med II and all other mods (which is a bad side effect). Every version I've played, even years back, has had this problem. Only uninstalling and reinstalling Med II without the mod ever fixes it (and that is a pain when you're using the Steam version on a satellite connection with limited data).
Now, I don't want to uninstall the mod. I want to keep playing it. But I also want to play other mods with their intended banners. So my question is, does anyone know what file(s) could be doing this and what needs to be changed?
The only solution I can think of for now is removing the Third_Age_3 folder and keeping it as a backup somewhere else, and then uninstalling and reinstalling Med II. Then maybe if I use only the folder and I don't use the exe to install Third Age, I won't get the banners problem. However, that may make Third Age unplayable (no banner info could crash it) at worst, or maybe in battles units would show up with blank banners. In any case, if there is a better solution, I'd like to hear it.
