Looks like they are, lots of different symbols appearing on them too- not just the faction badges!

They seem to be waving, looks really nice. Judging by the videos. Why would they do ugly flags that don't wave?

And they seem to be much smaller and different shape than in Rome.. Luckily.

Ugh yeah, I'm glad they do wave this time round- they didn't have any in the other Total War games...

Honestly, it did not bother me too much because I dont really have those show in RTW. Other then that, yeah, I guess the banners look a bit better.

No, you guys didnt understand me

, I mean like an officer carrying a wavy flag (like the eagle in rtw) like in how armies looked like in Kingdom of Heaven

You mean those smaller flags representing honour or experience like in earlier TWs? I don't know if they wave, but I remember there were lots of these flags in videos and they look nice.
Nice thread btw :tooth:

That's a point: who does carry those nice waving flags that aren't faction banners and that don't disappear when you zoom in closer?

Not the best film to base your realism on :wink:

**PurpleScotch** · September 25, 2006, 11:40 AM

not the ones that disappear lol, the ones that a soldier/officer carries as if it were a spear but its a flag..lol.

EDIT: My question is if anyone has a screen/info about wavy flags carried by an officer/soldier?

Exactly...if these ones don't disappear (which they don't, only the big faction ones do), someone must be holding them...

"Not the best film to base your realism on "
Yea i know but what i tried to say is those flags held by soldiers, nothing related to accuracy in history.
