A yellow banner with only the facings of the player colour would be far too yellow.

Yes, especially if the player colour was also yellow!

Honestly I kinda wish they would have used the fñags forcgarrison icons
Because to me it looks likr a lot of great work for something you will rarely realize because you rarely keep looking gather points

Omg thank you. I was only looking at the garnisoned units flag and not gather point flag.
I keep my critics towards the garnisoned flags then
There were subtle hints in the TLC preview materials, but otherwise, this is something I would have never expected. A great surprise.
Those waypoint markers are also useful as decorations in scenarios. Use Modify Attribute to give graphic IDs 9466 to 9518 to your object of choice.

Names for some more, mainly already known ones:
Korean is Taeguk (Korean equivalent of the Yin Yang)
Mongolian is Soyombo
Portuguese is the emblem of the House of Avis (same as civ icon)
Spanish seems to be the Senyera
Huns is a tug
Vikings is probably the raven banner (same as the civ UI and the unused garrison flag)
For Tatars (and the Central Asian garrison flag) I donât know where they got the square, but the flag shape is the same as this flag
Edit:
I found the Tatar/Centra Asian flag: itâs the Chagatai flag
The Chinese flag might be the country name in Hanzi (Chinese Ideograms): äžć
The Wu flag is probably the same ideogram as their civ emblem: ćł
Correction: the raven banner is the Viking civ icon, not the UI image. The Viking UI is actually the VeigvĂsir, which is another possibility for the Viking flag (the shade of grey they used makes it really hard to tell)
In general, the shade of grey they used blends too much with the red and blue player colors
And by the way, the design on the Inca flag is called Wiphala
The Cuman flag might also be a tug
The Bohemian flag might be the same as the civ icon in front of a checkered background, or even the Teuton eagle since they were part of the HRE (again, the grey makes it hard to tell)
The Tupi one might be based on an enduape (which is something I discovered while looking for an image of an actual ibirapema to add to the wiki) or a feather cape like you see in Arariboia in the DLC art, or itâs just a generic parasol
And as Skadidesu said, the East Asian garrison flag is the ideogram for king: ç
And I forgot to say this before the edit, but the Senyera is based on the flag of Aragon
The civ-specific flags also show up every time you order a unit to move, so Iâm pretty sure youâll be seeing them a lot more often than the garrison ones.

Eh, yeah but you never pay attention to them
Meanwhile garrison flags are always important to look for
I was forgetting, the Malay one is the Majapahit flag. A painting included in that article also includes banners similar to the Khmer waypoint. I have no idea where the emblem in it comes from from but if you google âMajapahit flagâ you see a lot of versions of the flag with a similar emblem.
The Japanese one is based on a Sashimono. But thatâs honestly the most obvious one.
Persians have the Sassanid royal symbol on theirs.
Dravidians is Vijayanagar dynasty flag. Congrats, the only non-Tamil thing in the civâŠ
Bengalis is the royal symbol of the Pala dynasty.

Its unfortunate that DoI and TLC follow the same format but indian civis did not get the treatment south america got.TLC gave new kings monks ui while indians are still a horrible mix and match of things.

Dynasties of India did not actually add any new architecture sets. That there is a big difference.
That just makes it worse,they saved budget from buildings.
Even changing the UI to puru UI Chronicles king for indians trade carts to RoR/aoe is better than this mix and match.

This seems to have brought the current Korean flag pattern.
In the image, it does not match the flags of Goguryeo, Baekje, Silla, Goryeo, and Joseon.
But Iâm satisfied. Itâs a game.

I updated the posts with all your feedback.

Burmese
Hindustani
Gurjaras
Franks
Shu
Vietnamese
Wei
Muisca
Khitans
Lithuanians
Malians

the birds on the turk and saracen flag could be related to the osmans and caliphates, but I did not find them with google.
could you post a screnshot how you did it in the scenario editor? I wanted to make a scenario of them in every player color to see if it is easier to recognize them, but i dont know how to change a âFlag Aâ to one of them.
this is how I tried it:
I think I might have found the Italian one
The AoE2 version seems to make the player color the background and the symbol white for Genoa and Amalfi, and the opposite for the other two.
Found the Sicilian one in the same article:
Turns out itâs also a Senyera
I tried finding a better result for the Khmer flag as well, but had no luck

good find. I found the turkish (seljuk empire flag), the saracen one (eagle of saladin) and the berber (AlMohad Empire (~12 & 13th century CE), a Moroccan (Berber) Empire which once ruled the Iberian Peninsula during the Islamic age.)
I did it like you did (though I left âNameâ empty, but that shouldnât matter). With the trigger you posted, Flag A of Player 1 should become the Britonsâ waypoint flag a moment after the game starts. Is the triggerâs starting state set to âOnâ?
