    Default Banner Icons & Standard Bearers for other factions?

    Is there going to be banner icons and battlefield standard bearers for other factions?

    In the pics below you can see a Roman banner icon on the campaign map and a battlefield standard bearer. I think they look awesome but they should not only be limited to the Roman faction. In Shogun 2 faction leaders had an icon about their banner so maybe that could explain why the Ptolemaic generals don't have any icons, the Roman general could be the faction leader while the Ptolemaic characters are just regular generals.

    Well it's a bit hard to see, but the (Pontic?) general on the far right and the (I don't know what faction that is) navy have something similar on top of their flags, while the other Pontic generals and Macedonian navy don't.

    From devchat:

    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.

    Jack never said there would be 40 units per stack. Noone from CA has.

    Yeah I saw the QA but things change and we haven't seen a single standard bearer from any of the other factions. Maybe E3 some nice pics will be released that shows some of the other factions units with standards. There hasn't been anything said about musicians yet so I imagine they are not in which is sacrilegious.

    Also I hope generals have diffent models like in Shogun 2 with the faction leader having a unique model, the Roman on the map does look unique but I'm not sure if that is the faction leader or not.

    itīs funny... People complain about a single welding or if a feather on a helmet is on the right position, and only a few people cares about a real "eyecatcher" like the standard bearers...

    Yeah what's up with that?

    The officers, standard bearers, and musicians they are the center piece of the unit. Units without out this element is like a foundation missing it's cornerstone not to mention units look generic without them.

    I thinks it's more important that each general has a unique appearance according to his portrait
    That was another great thing about shogun

    Loved that feature in Shogun 2, hope it stays or is improved on. Not to get too far off topic but I hope at some point we can customize our general's armor in single player like we can in avatar mode. I always hated when I would have a badass general but he was always the one with the least impressive armor.

    Yeah thats true... and with different standard bearers and unique musicians and leutnants the game would be perfect

    when you look at 2000 swordman it will be all the same... but when you than see 7-8 different standards within the units, and maybe some different leutnants, and than you see and HEAR some carnyx...

    That would change the atmosphere so extremly... would be nice

    The first Rome had standard barriers so why wouldn't Rome 2 have them? Second do you honestly think people are begging for barriers instead of campaign information or multiplayer information? Honestly these threads are getting dumber and dumber.

    Yeah and M2TW didn't have any at all so what's your point? If you don't like what the topic is about move along and post in something you find interesting.
