DESCRIPTION

Better Clan Banners improves all banners in the base game and is made for simple use with the POC color randomizer mod. To use, just replace the config.json file in the POC mod folder with the Better Clan Banners config.json file – this will update all Clan and Kingdom banner icons in any new or saved game. The file can also be easily edited for customized player banners, unit colors, and any other features detailed in the POC color randomizer mod. I hope the new banners and added color enhance your playthrough and make conquering all of Calradia even more exciting!

Custom Banners made possible by the amazing tool https://bannerlord.party/banner/ (developed by u/bizzfarts)

WHAT IS INCLUDED

  • Custom banners for each Kingdom and Clan.
  • Custom banners for mercenary and bandit groups.
  • PlayerKingdom and PlayerClan spaces for personal custom banners and custom troop colors.
  • Randomized troop colors based on banner colors ("mode": 42) to provide color diversity on the battlefield while retaining general kingdom colors. 
  • Banner Packs: Optional files with custom banner codes I design for fun that can be added into the game! New will be added as I make them.


CUSTOMIZATION TIPS

The POC color randomizer mod page describes all the customization possible with this file. Some code you may want to customize in Better Clan Banners:
  • Custom Player Clan and Kingdom banners! Design your own custom banner on https://bannerlord.party/banner/ and copy the resulting code into the "clanBanner": “[code here]“  or “KingdomBanner”: “[code here]” sections to replace my default banner codes under PlayerKingdom and PlayerClan sections. 
Ex:
"clans": {
 
"PlayerClan": {
"FollowKingdomColors": "false",
"FollowKingdomBackgroundOnly": "false",
"clanBanner": " ~paste banner code here~ ",
},


  • Unit Color Randomization: Defined by defaultConfig": {"mode": 42,  in the file code can be altered for personal unit color preferences. Change the mode number to change how troop colors are decided. Examples = “mode”: 0 for vanilla colors, “mode”: 4 for base banner colors with less randomization, “mode”: 1 for completely random colors. Explore the POC page for more explanation of color modes.
  • Player Unit Colors: The PlayerClan code chunk contains a section for defining your own clan troop colors. By default, PlayerClan is “mode”: 42 and will select random colors from your banner. This can be changed to any “mode”. I recommend modes 1 or 11 to define primary (“color”) and secondary (“color2”) colors using the provided code structure (example below). Color code numbers to use can be found at https://bannerlord.party/banner-colors/

 "units": { "Trooper": {
"mode": 11, 
"color": ["100", "101", "116", “8”], 
"color2": ["100", "1", "11", "17"]
