This is not a serious thread, and in the first since forever- not mocking Taleworlds. I have come to the conclusion that, with how easy it is to implement banners within Bannerlord, but also how much positivity they would receive, I find it hardly likely that it is related to development issues or performance obstructions. Thus I have come to the speculation that their inclusion into the game will be symbolic of Bannerlord's release out of Early Access. Q4 2021.
