Immersive Battle Banners

Description
At long last--I have ported Den's incredible mod from Warhammer 1 and 2! This was my favorite mod in WH1 and I'm excited to finally bring it up to date! All credit should go to Den who retired from modding years ago!
More screenshots on the WH1 mod page: https://steamproxy.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=944767629




From Den's original WH2 Mod:
Originally posted by author:
"For more realistic and immersive banners during the battles and on campaign map. I didn't like the toy aspect for vanilla banners. Now it's feels "Warhammer" ! I have also modified some colors which were too saturated (with keeping the vanilla theme), and used color to improve the visibility. The campaign banners are now bigger ! And you can zoom in to see them !


This mod is not compatible with other banner mod (campaign and battle, they are using the same files). And it's of course compatible with Mortal Empire campaign.


Factions released and updates :
  • Vampire Coast.

  • Tomb Kings, with the words "King", "War", "Army" and "Loyalty" wrote in High Nehekharan. The Necrotect hero have the word "Necropolis/Tomb" on his unit icon.

  • High Elves, meaning for some Eltharin runes added on the banners :

    On the generic banner
    2 major runes :
    " Caladai " - Symbol of the line of kings, the dragons of flame.
    " Asur " - High Elves, the Eternal Flame, Mark of Asuryan, symbol of rebirth and lordship.
    And 6 minor runes :
    " Skale " - Guardian dragon, strength and honour.
    " Saroir " - Eternity, infinity, the flame of love that burns all it touches.
    " Lecai " - Light, nobility of soul, lightness of being.
    " Kenui " - War without end, a lingering death.
    " Indrion " - The heavens, portent, doom of mortals.
    " Histo " - Plenty, dominance, the Golden Age.

    Avelorn banner
    " Quyl-Isha " - "Tears of Isha", sorry, mercy, endurance, the act of mourning for lost children.

    Caledor banner
    " Ildir " - The Chained Dragon, duty, obedience.

    Chrace banner
    " Senlui " - Swiftness, accuracy.
    " Charoi " - Strength, ferocity, mane of hair.

    Citadel of Dusk banner (rune on the black castle)
    " Drome " - The Underworld Stair, descent, inevitability.

    Ellyrion banner
    " Istryn " - Symbol of the Arespan, alliance, common cause.



  • Dark Elves, with the Dark Elves rune of Khaine, their major God, the blood-handed God.

  • Lizardmen.

  • Skaven, with the symbol of the Horned Rat, which signifies not only the deity of the Skaven but also the Skaven race as a whole.

  • Rogue Armies.

  • Norsca, with the 4 Warhammer Chaos Gods on the banner, who have their Norsca's animal appearance, wolf Khorne, crow Nurgle, eagle Tzeentch and snake Slaanesh.

  • Bretonnia.

  • Wood Elves, the Rune on the banner represent Kurnous and Isha together (the 2 main Elfic Gods), wrote in Fan-Eltharin, the Warhammer Wood Elves language.

  • Chaos with blood, skulls and the 4 Warhammer Chaos Gods Runes. The Dragon Ogre banner use the Chaos Rune representing them, and 2 major elements in their lifes : mountain and thunderstorm with lightning (giving power to these immortal creatures).

  • Vampire Counts.

  • Beastmen, with Warhammer Chaos Runes on the banners.

  • Greenskins.

  • Empire (Tilea, Kislev and the Border Princes share unfortunately the banners with the Empire, special détail in the Emperial Banner was possible only for Marienburg).

  • Dwarfs. Runes used in the Dwarfs Banners (wrote in Khazalid, the official dwarfs Warhammer language) :

    Miners : " Azul " - Metal of any kind; dependable; a sturdy dwarf.
    Gyrocopter : " Kro " - Crow, raven, dark bird.
    Flame Cannon : " Zharr " - Fire.
    Irondrakes : " Drakk " - Dragon.
    Irondrakes Torpedo : " Troll " - Troll.
    Quarrellers: " Dok " - Watch, observe, see, the eye.
    Thane : " Gov " - Thane, and " Grim " - Harsh, unyielding.
    Runesmith : " Rhunki " - Runesmith." ~ Den

I've added new details to just two of the WH3 factions (Cathay and Kislev) and added/restored banners for the Border Princes, Estalia, and Tilea. If you have any ideas on how to touch up the other new factions, let me know in the comments!

  • Cathay: based on a Ming Dynasty banner with "auspicious clouds" and Sui Dynasty edging

  • Kislev: added edging based on traditional Ukrainian "vyshyvka" (Slava Ukraini!)

    One thing to note is that Den mentions increasing the size of the flags on the campaign map. Somewhere along the line he seems to have dropped that, so I didn't include it here. If there's demand for it I can give it a try, but I'm afraid tinkering too much with the databases will cause compatibility issues.




    Companion Mods

    - Blue Nagarythe

    - Imrik x Caledor swap

    - Graveyard Rose flag for Elspeth

    - Vampire Minor Factions new flags (Court of the Night, Templehof, and Rebels)

    Compatibility

    - Cataph's Southern Realms: perfectly compatible. Cataph created new factions and assigned them the "rogue army banner" base model. So they will have more detail with this mod. If you "release" the vanilla TEB factions via diplomacy, you'll get my banners as those are actually different factions.

    - Heraldry of the___ and Tabletop Heraldry mods: these should work together fine! I designed it so that if you have a heraldry mod installed, this will override the few files that conflict, but since I don't change any of the "heraldry", they should work. The only real conflicts will be with the masks (which I override) and in the case of TTH, the Greenskin banners that are changed through the database. See the discussion topic to fix that issue.

@Elgato_86: yeah I noticed that too--I'll give a go at changing it up but in the meantime Table Top Heraldry makes several new greenskin banners and it (should) work with this mod!

one point of critisicm i dont really feel the banners on campaign map - like for example the greenskins, having the red orc skull as part of every flag, also having the bad moon on every flag, regardless of if you are playing goblings, savage orcs or other orcs is not really immersive.

@Shingsora I believe HN is actively working on his last I saw, so we'll have to wait still.

In any case, I prefer Den's :P
