    Default FotS: Some thoughts on when becoming Vanguard

    After going Shogunal Vanguard and Imperial Vanguard at RD a couple of times, I started thinking about something I found a bit strange. You get a new faction symbol on the campaign map, but on the battle map you still have your original one + units with original colours. In my opinion the change at RD should be on the battle map too, with the new faction mon and units with new colours that they have in the historical battles.

    Not saying the current RD is bad, but it would be nice if a battle map change also occurred when you become the vanguard.

    Yeah I noticed this as well, but your avatars on the Campaign map don't actually change uniform either. I do agree it would be nice though to be able to use uniforms that match your new banner as some combinations could be a little strange. (Tsu as imperial vanguard anyone?) I guess CA was either too lazy to do it, or maybe they simply felt that they didn't want to strip people of their identity entirely, as they had been playing that clan for the entire game so far and it would be pretty boring to get to RD and then switch to one of 2 uniforms with every single clan unless you went republic. Could be an interesting choice to add, maybe modders will do it?

    In my first battle as the Imperial vanguard I was hoping that we'd get snazzy new uniforms as well.

    I was a bit dissappointed...
    Forward, march!

    Yeah, for example if you become the Shogunal Vanguard, you get white-yellow uniforms, really nice.

    But another thing, the mon that you have on the battle map, that small one right above that 3D picture of your general, that one doesn't change, which I think is weird. And in the description of the Shogunal Vanguard clan trait, it says the shogun lets you carry his banner in battle, but your armies still have the original flags. Contradiction?

    This has to be a bug, I don't see why they would only half implement this feature.

    probably in reality, it would cost a good amount of money to remake all the uniform

    True. But then again, by now, the Shogun (probably not the Emperor though) would have warehouses full of uniforms that are his colors (accumulated over the past 200 years). It would simply be a matter of bestowing them to you.

    I don't know about you, but I wouldn't really fancy wearing 200 year old uniform

    You're assuming we would have a say in the matter?

    Probably either laziness or as I said the attempt to reduce sameness. A lot of people might be a bit annoyed when realm divide hits and they are always one of 2 uniform types. Also, it seems a little high profile to be a simple bug, especially considering that I haven't even seen it mentioned until now. Who knows though, could be.

    I don't see why uniforms would change (unifying and standardizing the army and navy was more of a post-Satsuma Rebellion process), but I was dissapointed that my Satsuma domain didn't get the Imperial chrysanthemum as their battle standard. If they can change the standards on the campaign map, surely it wouldn't be too hard to implement it on the battle map?
    Therefore, I conclude, that Valve should announce Half Life 2 Episode 3.

    The vanguard uniforms for the tactical map are in the game. See Osaka historical battle. This needs to be patched.

    The longer you wait the more clans would have joined the opposite allegience it is actually best to rush vanguard asap. If you are going for a republic tho thats diffrent
