May we please get more customization for our flags, banners, and portrait options? The current options are so basic, common, non-epic, non-legendary. Portraits may be ok, some of them. Yet, look at games like Crusader Kings III where we the players have are able to customize any desired. Even Bannerlord has more flag options. And for players who want immersion, it’s a very big deal to have such bleh, basic option.
Here’s my idea:
Give players more options to customize flags. INCLUDING the option to now have an emblem/logo (example, striples only flags, checkerboard/chessboard only flags (real life example: Hungary flag, Al-Andalus green/white checkerboard flag).
Make it so the players flag, appears in town centers/landmarks/keeps (Example, say I have a red/yellow Spanish flag. And in-game, I am the player with color redgreen. I will be green, all units, buildings, will be green, yet my banner from the profile. will appear on town centers and keeps.
And make it so the player’s flag also appears on the shielded troops’ shields. Example, on the men at arms. Keep the troops the color of the player (blue/teal/green/yellow etc), but at least if they’re wielding a shield, make it so the individual player’s banner shows ups even if small in the center of their shield. If this seems too much, then at least the landmarks.
And as far as portraits, I want to give feedback that I prefer if the portraits are kept around a historical element of the game. Example, we have a Dia de los Muertos (day of the dead) portrait (I’m assuming this was sent out for Halloween and I didn’t see it when it came out), yet I don’t think it’s necessary, and honestly find it a turnoff, to have “Mexican holiday portraits” when I’m trying to play a historical game centered around the middle ages, primarily in EU/Asia/South Asia/Africa/Middle East. And, this is coming directly from someone who’s got Mexican herritage. If you devs feel adding holiday stuff is necessary, I would it much rather be centered around the current in-game civs.
