New (Middle Eastern?) faction's banner

[CtrlAltDe1337]

I was digging around in the texture files and found these kingdom flags for the 5 factions and 1 new faction:

Between a crescent flag, Arabian armors and swords, sand textures, and more lamellar armor, it seems almost certain that the new faction will be heavily middle-eastern inspired.   IMO this will make a great addition to the game.

We know, I already posted it to the new faction thread. There's some armors and tents etc. stuff there too.

But I swear that banner was an original

Nope, not an original.
Went into native and checked.

Same symbol with different colors.

No there was not, there was a Khergit flag that looked a tiny bit like it, but no flag that had exactly the same symbol.

My bad, I haven't checked that thread in a long time.

I was wondering the same thing...

"eastern" armour and a moon banner does not mean its definately a middle eastern faction. I'm still hoping for far eastern. but someone said there are new things called arabic in above thread so if thats not a total lie then it seems pretty conclusive to be arabic, which is utterly disapointing. only new interesting thing they could add with that is camels.

 

[Wu-long]

Its not a lie but I managed to make a minsteral ahah they now hav elyres and lutes =)

There is one similar. Instead of a yellow background there is blue and instead of red fire there is white fire so yeah your right, there is one similar.

It's exactly the same except for colors. Oh well.

This should be interesting, but I'd think they'd include it in the MP beta - it should be a top priority for balancing.
