Tower Flags

[Deders]

Would it be at all possible to re-enable the flags on the towers on the battle maps. I realise that with foot soldiers it's easy to tell which tower are manned but you can also man them with cavalry by placing them next to them.

The problem with this is that the engine sometimes doesn't detect if a cavalry unit is nearby, especially if the terrain isn't flat so it can take several tries to position the unit before the flag will show. Not having the flags makes it even harder as you have to watch to see if the tower is actually firing when you should be concentrating on other areas.

This worst thing is that it disables flags in the vanilla game too and the only way to re-enable them that I can find is to uninstall the games and re-install, which I'm sure you can imagine is quite inconvenient if you just want a quick battle.

Awesome mod btw, looking forward to seeing more custom battle maps in the campaign.

Nice idea, but this belongs in the suggestion thread.

Oops, i'll copy it over to there.

It doesn't belong in the "suggestions", it's a technical question. Don't mislead people please.

Unfortunately I don't know how it re-enable tower flags. :/

... but i know.

All you have to do is to enable banners again, which are automatically shut off every time TATW starts.
Banners are the flags over units that show the faction affiliation. And they are also the flags on towers
and at the city centers (piaza).

To enable them go to the TATW.cfg search for "banners = 0" and set it to "banners = 1", save the file
and make it write-protected (right-click > properties). This way the setting you made manually are save.

Awesome thanks, I'll try that.

This post offers a detailed guide on how the banners should be enabled
its posted regarding fromes banners (mostly units' ones-but the same applies onto castes as well)
however this is a global modification
once u do this both units and castles(frome or plain TATW ones) should have the ordinary battle map banners

Oh so unit and tower banners fall under the same setting. Tbh I never noticed either of them were gone when I started playing tatw. Maybe I suffer from banner blindness or something.

In any case answered & closed.
