Army banners not showing in towns?

why are army banners not showing when garrisoned in towns?

That actually has two reasons.

The first one is that we wished to increase the difficulty of the game, which was done by encouraging the player to use spies in order to know enemy movements. Therefore, we removed the banners. This increases the immersion a lot, I for one really feel like a general trying to get information with which to decide how to act.

The second reason is aesthetic pleasingness. The new settlement models look a lot better without banners. Also, turning them off allowed us to introduce new stratmap models for armies and navies, which in my opinion look excellent.

Seeing these improvements, we decided to turn off the banners and implement our own system. Just play around a bit, you'll get used to it quite soon.

yeah i guess so, it can feel abit disorientating not knowing where i got soldiers stationed, their quantity etc.

A good general knows where he has his men by memory.

He's an emperor. The Generals are his family members.

In that case, I'm sure they will look after his armies for him. No need to bother

I'm telling the easy way..

or was it descr_standards.txt .. Can't remember. I did use that in Imperator mods. It look ugly though. Just edit out a few lines to make the banner gone.

The only "hard" part about it was adding it to all of the strategy map characters, and even then it is just time consuming. It takes maybe 4-6 hours depending on your 3ds max skill level.
