<p>In previous instalments of our weekly updates, we introduced you to the major powers of Calradia and talked about the historical influences that we used as a foundation for creating our own take on the early medieval period. In this week’s blog, we thought it would be nice to put a face to a name, so to speak, by sharing each of the factions’ banners with you. After all, this is Mount & Blade II: <em>Bannerlord…</em></p></br> [/parsehtml]Read more at: http://www.taleworlds.com/en/Games/Bannerlord/Blog/58

A small issue with several ancient Slavic and Nordic symbols though is that there was this rather unruly bunch of fake germans who decided it was a good idea to commit genocide while using them in the past century...

Same here. Lions are just an overused charge.
Still cool though, and fits the Norman theme.
Showed my partner. She thinks most of the designs are lazy.

My cousin's friend's long distance boy friend's friend works in a pizza store by ODTU (Where the office of Taleworlds is) Apparently one of the devs ordered a pizza on the break and while delivering the pizza he sneaked into Armağan's room and opened the computer(monster laptop) . He managed to decipher the code and open the desktop. He saw the "release_date_TOP_SECRET.txt" file. He apparently managed to put it in his USB Flash Drive with some mission impossible music going on in the background.
txt file said : "We do not know the release date as well. We will tell you as soon as we do"
Apparently that is why Armağan was telling this when asked about the release date. He was telling the truth. the Release date is : "We do not know the release date as well. We will tell you as soon as we do" .
Absolutely mind blown right now.
We need to dig deeper and understand what secret message it holds.

I personally like the last 2 best,but it feels kinda empty,again i am sorry for being annoying with this but you could add some kind of a symbol or maybe 2 of those swords or something.Still doesn't feel much slavic now or norse,my suggestion is to try embroidery as well,try adding both slavic and norse embroidery patterns and see what you can come up with?zabfalat said:hiul said:

Adding embroidery/etc. would look really cool, but the devs said they wanted to keep the designs to be kept simple so they don't get too confusing on the worldmap. I think most of the banners would look awesome with some embroidery/background patterns, but if you do one than you should do them all I think.

Sasha is the most slavic thing I can think of
. If I put some pattern on the bear than it wouldn't be so simple.CKyHC
Hello Callum and can a TW contest for the emblem of the faction? The best will be added to the game ... or something like that

Final, but still not satisfying form:
tbh that does sound like a good way to keep the community pacified while getting free content...
These are awesome! Maybe try some on a chevron background or something, could make a noble's banner!

Zabfalat can you try making the bear dark blue and the background white ?
I wish to ask ye something, would we be able to craft our own banners, like to do something with them or, like in the previous one, choose a banner which could represent more our kingdoms?
Ki-Ok Khan
Yes. You will be able to design your own banner withing the game. They said that they made a banner editor. And apparently we will hear about it in the (very) near future. Callum said so on twitter I think. Guess he assumed that all the comments would be bad and did not bother looking on the forums for questions this week.Glacialeye said:
Needs some adjustments in my humble opinion,the bear is kind of a okay idea,but for me personally it doesn't do the job of making it slavic looking...I'm not saying the work you do is bad or anything just that in my opinion it does not fill out the ''quota'' of making it slavic influenced,i mean look at the Battanians ,they have the best banner so far because it really represents them in my opinion.zabfalat said:zabfalat said:Svarogorije said:Good pointRoccoflipside said:Svarogorije said:I personally like the last 2 best,but it feels kinda empty,again i am sorry for being annoying with this but you could add some kind of a symbol or maybe 2 of those swords or something.Still doesn't feel much slavic now or norse,my suggestion is to try embroidery as well,try adding both slavic and norse embroidery patterns and see what you can come up with?zabfalat said:hiul said:

A bear to me is more like a soviet themed banner then a Kievan Rus themed banner
But it's not on me to decide,just stating my opinion...
I will now make horrible attempts to create what i have in mind so for my artistic gifts , i apologize :
Im just sort of trying to imploment the embroidery thing into the current one
Another attempt idk
And another which i honestly think is the best,maybe just change the color of the sun symbol to white so it matches the rest ?
