    Default Mini banners?

    The banners on the campaign map, the flags that strat models of captains and generals hold are "mini". The banner on settlements are like as if they are empty cities.....the army size is not shown on the banner. Is this intended? Or did i do something wrong?

    I can't get used to it either......is there any way to fix it???
    Cause i hate fighting a stack of unknown force. I always end up fighting full stack without ample preparations cause i thought it was a small one since i can't see how big the army size is from the banners....

    It's in the DLV_ext\data\descr_standards. Change it to this I believe.

    file_scale 0.185f
    file_army_banner data/banners/strat_flag.cas ; can't have spaces
    file_scale 1.0f
    file_navy_banner data/banners/navy_banner.cas

    IIRC Pinko included a descr_standards.bat file in the download that has the original banners, all you have to do is change it from .bat to .txt and have it replace the other one.

    delete
    m2tw\dlv_ext\data\descr_standards.txt

    and rename
    m2tw\dlv_ext\data\descr_standards.txt.bak

    The purpose of the change is so you can use spies to scout armies, and so you cant automatically tell the strength of an army or castle from the end of your view distance.
    you can still double click the army to see part of it

    First time I have seen it, i was schocked, but then - i like it. You have to scout with your spies and towers to see what is against you, which is is what Pinkos Mod says - real.
