    Icon5 Flags Have Disappeared??

    I used to have TATW installed, and that mod removes the in battle unit flags... u know the ones that have your country's emblem on them aswell as the mini ones that show veterency.
    i no longer have TATW installed, infact i removed M2TW completly and reinstalled fresh. however.... THE FLAGS ARE STILL GONE!!!!! and i kinda miss those flags...
    i dunno if its a file i havnt deleted or sumthin, but does anyone know which file controls this feature and how i can turn it back on?
    I have had a look through this section of the forum for help, but couldnt find the solution

    At [video], add this line: show_banners = 1...

    It will look like this:

    [video]
    widescreen=0
    show_banners = 1

    You have to start a campaign to get the full preferences file. Battles don't count.

    May not be savegame compatible. Do they show up in a new campaign?

    Changing show_banners is save game compatible. I changed it a lot of times in the same campaign...
