We’re nonetheless neck deep in horseflies and looter gizzards right here on the sinister RPS emergency underdome. Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord is a hefty game with quite a lot of transferring elements, and I anticipate to be enjoying and speaking about it for a very long time.
But proper now crucial information is {that a} participant has created a customized banner editor. You can now fly your personal designs on flags, shields, and even over your personal castles.
A Reddit consumer often called (sigh) “bizzfarts” shared the software over the weekend, modestly calling it “kind of wonky”, as a substitute of rightfully claiming the web as their fief. The software is out there at their website, and whereas it’s a tad cumbersome, with persistence and a bit trickery it’s potential to create a far larger number of flags and medieval logos than the game usually permits.
For instance:
Buzz bzzzzz
You have to create your personal flag utilizing the net software, then copy the code it would generate on the backside. Boot the game up, and both begin a brand new character or press ‘B’ on the marketing campaign map to enter the banner editor. Then merely press Ctrl+V, and it ought to immediately paste your design in. Bear in thoughts this operate may probably be eliminated sooner or later whereas the game’s in early entry, simply as the power to be a baby was.
As a bonus facet impact, you get to see Bannerlord’s many clothes choices given an entire new palette.
Some of the color/outfit mixtures look a bit off. But that is positively A Look.
The game pulls the primary color you decide for the background (whether or not it truly fills the background or not), plus the final color of the final piece you add, and makes use of these two to as the premise for dyeing your military’s garments. I realised too late that this delivers a minor request I’d requested for when testing the game final week: when you trick the editor a bit, you may separate your flag’s colors out of your clothes. Hence the unintended vibrant yellow uniforms I had with the fantastic purple of the RPS banner.
An Alice, coming to edit your work, yesterday.
Can I share a secret? I by no means cared in regards to the banners or titles in Mount & Blade: Warband. You needed to both select a noble background or beg some fool king for the fitting to fly a banner in that game, and I at all times resented it when it was thrust upon me. We don’t have time to color our shields, rattling you. There are Swadians to stab. I reject your aristocratic pretensions!
Bannerlord, in fact, has you merely do as all rulers did: you lie, and simply inform everybody you’re essential sufficient to have a banner. I respect that immensely. And now in fact, you may actually go to city with it. And presumably burn down the palace with it, and mount the Tsar’s head on a pitchfork with it.

My photos will all undergo a bit from my refusal to rent an organised, uniform pressure – I are likely to accumulate three or 4 of each type of troop, whoever occurs to be accessible, so long as they’re not horsemen. Nothing towards horsemen, they’re simply all cowards. We like our irregulars round right here. But I need to admit, I’m very tempted to coach up a line of clones simply to see this in a shieldwall.
Getting there could be a little bit of a slog although – when you’re new to the collection and having hassle, you would possibly need to have a look at some of the guides our Dave has been engaged on.
