Reducing the size of battle map banners

[Centurio Nixalsverdrus]

Could you please completely delete those battle map banners? They are just awful. They are growing out of the soldiers' heads, what makes them quite ridicoulus (despite of beeing oversized).

In one Vanilla RTW-Campaign, not knowing the fantastic EB-mod at that time, I finally captured Roma and was very forward-looking to have those "First Cohorts". I was dreaming of having those aquilifers of the Vanilla Intro sequence. But that turned out to be rather a nightmare. I remember very well how disappointed I was realizing that the "legion's eagle" was just a little gimmick atop of theese awful unrealistic battle map banners!

In my opinion, the battle map banners are not part of the game, but more a part of the user interface. You can use them to easily select your units, that's it. For the soldiers, they are more like magical items or what ever.

So, if it was christmas time again, I'd wish:

1. Just kick those banners out and

2. Make a First Cohort for the Romani, and in that unit please exchange the signifer with an aquilifer.

That would be simply perfect.

We will not be deleting them. The reason for that is that they are very easy to remove by yourself - there is an option in the preferences file I believe.

I am asking if someone would be willing to do the relatively easy job of reducing the model size (if you have the 3dsmax modelling program) so we could make them smaller and make the problem less noticeable. I guess I will just need to resort to bribing one of our modellers instead.

Go to the C:\Program Files\Activision\Rome - Total War\EB\preferences folder, open the preferences.txt file, search for the SHOW_BANNERS entry and turn it into FALSE.

Voilà.

Cheers!!!!

Ps: while you`re there, you can also change the DISABLE_ARROW MARKERS (little green arrows at the feet of your soldiers) and the UNLIMITED_MEN_ON_BATTLEFIELD (in order to avoid the "delayed reinforcements" feature, which is a tool made only for limiting the models on the battlefield in order to avoid lag due to processor problems) into TRUE.

Cheers!!!!

It is amazing how many people don't know how easy RTW is to mod...

I really didn't know that! Thank you, k_raso.
