Anyone noticed odd banners?

[Sammyboy]

Here is something odd, Lords banners often are contradictory to themselves.

Boyar Gastya of the Vaegirs, a faction known for its horses and bowmen. His banner is a crossbow.

One less obvious one is Count Beranz's banner. It is a pair of axes despite him being a Swadian.

Same with Count Gharmall who has a single axe as his banner despite being a Rhodok.

Count Tribidian, another Rhodok has a banner of horseshoes. Perhaps his noble family are well known for their love of the game.

Emir Ayman, a Sarranid lord who lives in the desert has a banner of a boat!

Jarl Olaf, like Gastya, has a crossbow on his banner.

Now, I don't expect a back story on why every noble has their own banner, but outright contradictions seem odd.

I found that extremely funny for some reason.

I like this one, personally.

Rhodok killer!

Nord killer!

Semi-nord killer ^^

Count Tribidian, another Rhodok has a banner of horseshoes. Perhaps his noble family are well known for their love of the game.

Some guys need luck more than others! No, seriously... he got trampled and the mark on his head is on his banner as well

Emir Ayman, a Sarranid lord who lives in the desert has a banner of a boat!

Ik heb een boot (Dutch joke). Maybe he likes too fish in the oases?

Jarl Olaf, like Gastya, has a crossbow on his banner.

Swadian killer ^^

To my knowledge banners are randomly generated once you start a new game. It is just random, and then they get stuck with banners that make sense or don't make sense.
