Banners and musicians

Will we see bannerbearers and musicians in units like in empire.
for in shogun 2 it was reduced to only leader and bannerbearer.

I would really enjoy to see that return in Rome 2 again.
what do you guys think?

I sincerely hope bannermen are included; they certainly existed (i.e. the aquilifer, signifer, later draconarius etc).

I don't think CA would be so daft as to exclude officers and standard bearers ingame - they were a nice little addition to the battlemap.

If you watch the walk through of teutoburg you see the Romans carrying golden eagles, but for the rest of them well have to wait and see. Though I agree with you bring back the bannermen

Q. Will there be unit officers and standard bearers in Rome II, and how varied will they look?

A. Yes as in previous Total War games there will be officers and standard bearers in units. They will also be varied in look and match the visual variety of the various factions and cultures. So the Romans will get a variety of looks for officers and standard bearers, as will the Carthaginians, as will the Iberians (referring to all the Iberian factions) and so on and so forth.

Right its it from jack lusted faq or what ever its called? and no were is it mention about the musicians in a unit.

Officers and standard bearers are in for sure but it's not looking very good for musicians. To me when it comes to unit design for all periods the officer, standard bearer, and the musician are the corner stone of the unit and the trappings of power they bring just makes the unit look so much more badass.
