Not really

That would be really awesome, but I think that the amount of time it would take to implement wouldn't be worth it. I only miss them a little bit.

YES!!! So they created Battle Standards - but they didn´t implement them! The question is why?
I hope they will put them in at any time! There is something missing without this!

Maybe we can ask the artist to give the model and modders could try to do something?

If I am right, we can´t implement models at the moment!

Is it lore-friendly for some/ all of the factions in the game?

I can't really imagine DLC featuring Oric Banner Boyz and Goblin Fife Gits!

It legitamately is! Every unit on table top (near enough) could have a command squad of a character, a standard bearer and musician, although what kind of musician varied. Drums were popular across all factions, but some more exotic ones included a Bretonnian lute played by a questing knight bard, ogre bellowers (they don't do music, they just yell loudly), huge brass horns of chaos and funeral bells carried by zombies. Additionally, some heroes could be upgraded to be the Battle Standard bearer, which carried a special army-unique banner -usually the personal heraldry of the general of the regiment- that gave massive leadership bonuses to those nearby.

If you think about iy how is a DLC like that going to work? They will add command to existing factions but what about future releases? Are they going to include them for free? Thats not the CA we all know and love....

It's possible for modders to include officers, and they have, but not musicians and standard bearers. I'm holding out for CA to include them on their own seeing as it is a very big part of the TT.

But if you include them,
you would have to remove the magic standards from the ArmyGeneral Equipment
and you have to make some kind of shop where you can buy Magic Standards if not the whole thing doesn't make sense at all because it would only be cosmetics and would have no game effect.

**drillmaster** · October 09, 2016, 03:12 AM

Why would you do that? Command groups are cosmetic. Magic banners have a in-battle effect but it doesnt mean it has to be represented visually.

You got it!

How possible it will be, that CA change that system and and create new one!? No chance! Sorry.

What system would it replace? When there isn't currently a feature there, surely you're simply adding one rather than replacing?

The Standard Bearer would just be cosmetic in the same way they were in Empire and Napoleon, as most regiments in the Old World had a banner of some type that wasn't magical. Only the best-of-the-best or units with a strong traidtion would be blessed with a magical banner of some kind, and even then we can just see a normal banner and think "that ones magical", although some kind of effect or design change would be nice.

Are Officer mods back? I had the one that came out for the vanilla game, but after the first DLC is was incompatible and the guy gave up on updating it.
