Do you play with banners enabled or disabled?

[chenkai11]

uh, many mentioned no banners = realism? But doesn't ancient armies carries banners during battles? Or am I wrong?

They do still carry banners. Zoom in on any unit and you'll see a standard-bearer unit, along with an officer.

They didn't carry massive, skyscraper-sized pieces of cloth to identify themselves.

Exactly, and much less let that banner start blinking to say to their enemies "we are routing, come cut us down".

I play with no banners, no green arrows and no ridiculous glowing red battefield boundaries. Much much better that way.

Ideally there would be a button to turn them off temporarily, just to take screenies and to soakm in the glory.

how can you disable the red lines?

Didn't know you could disable them in the EB configuration. But what I did was alpha channel out the unit indicators and border lines and dropped the files in the EB data/textures folder. Like I said, makes the battlefield look a lot better and adds to immersion.

Actually it might be the EB preferences link that I've only just remembered about, but it is definitely one of those two.

Disabled. I tend not to fight in forests much so I can keep track of my units easily enough without them.
EDIT: red lines etc. are in EB configuration link.
