Banners and Bannermen

[Ziko]

Hi, i looked through some old devblogs and i saw this from Devblog 06/09/19.

''There was a noticeable absence of banners in the battles shown at Gamescom. Have these been removed? Or was it just a temporary measure?

Banners and banner bearers will definitely come back as even better and more polished than before.''

I hope this is still promised and has not been cut after all.

Can the bannermen be upgraded into bannerlords though, thats the true question

Not until M&B III

Here's a thousand of them

Banners? BANNERS??? We don't need no stinkin' banners!

I would rather have all of my knights using thier shields rather than faffing about with a useless banner. I will admit that it looks nice, but I have to wonder how it affects the combat potential of the soldier who wields one.

maybe it could give a radius effect to friendly morale

troops near the banner could move faster (? ... 2% (?

It looks nice to have a few banners on the field, but they don't really serve a purpose in a game where the commands are issued by pressing buttons. So they would need to give something like a morale boost to justify a pair of hands without an effective weapon.

The banners are held in the left hand only, allowing the Bannerman to swing a one-handed weapon. They are relegated to your back if you use a two-handed weapon, but still visible.

I think random lances/longer spears should have small banners attached to them for sure. That way both cav and inf have banners without gimping their offensive/defensive abilities. I don't want to see my men that carry shields holding a banner and a sword with their shield on the back and dying to arrow fire though.
