Horse Riding Flags/ Town Flag

[Devily 626]

In every movie you can see that knights as example ride with flags in groups to let others know from wich kingdom or province/town they come from.

 

It would be cool to give towns an image or flag? So when riders go out they could drag a flag with them that shows a flag from wich town they are from. 

 

My idea would be:

They can put a limited choice of images ( Not like 5 but more like 15)

Alot of different colours and maybe a name on the flag? ( Depends on the Quality like Signs)

This can be made for PvP as in kingdoms but also in freedom for deeds.

example:

 

Other examples:

 

Make them Alliance flags

 

 

 

Also the flag choice of the town will be the same as flag poles that you can place inside ur town.

This gives Flags a bit more purpose to have.

 

Any suggestions can be added if posted.

Yeah, people (me) have been pushing for this for deeds or alliances, specially in freedom, since everyone has the same designs there.

This would of course apply to tabards, banners, flags, and wagon covers as well... The rider flag though, idk. Usually banner carriers had to forgo weapons, wurm combat system isn't advanced enough for that. Could work like Japanese banners that were latched at the back of the armor, but that's a bit off-spec.

[Devily 626]

Exactly every thing on freedom has the same banners.. bit boring

+1  Even if it was like the shop signs, where a few selective options were available would be awesome.  

[khatanka 317]

Looks nice

Could be a teensy bit more elaborate than those but as easy to do.

Same kind of menu as Shop signs, just instead of 1 image you'd get 3 (corresponding to 3 Layers of images that would overlap, two of them having transparency (through alpha channel)).

Bottom layer would be the background, this would determine the aspect of the "fabric" of the banners, and the general color for the tabards and Wagons.

Middle Layer would be a background symbol, like a shield or whatever

Top layer would be the main motif (the actual symbol of the thingy).

With like 6-8 Bottom layers, same number of middle layers and about 12-20 Symbols you can have more than enough combinations for all deeds and alliances in the game and others to come for a while.

[Devily 626]

I think it could be something new and awsome

[AlexLong 128]

Yeah it wouldn't work on freedom, for freedom a better idea is flags for ally. But PvP this idea could work.

[Devily 626]

Yes and no.

 

Pvp i understand that could work great but on freedom. I think indeed a flags could be better for an Alliance.

+1.... Lower the PMK requirement to 15- 20 and allow WL PMK templates to be chosen for Freedom Isles, And add in Calvary kingdom flags. On the Chaos side of things, the flags can add a Moral booster, which could possibly work in with the title bonuses working off the center of influence.

+1 

wow

[Arronicus 733]

+1 for a selection of 3 coloured bars, vertical or horizontal, with an emblem in the middle, perhaps ROYGBIV, and black/white for the bars.

Or an emblem chosen from 10-15 things in wurm (wolf head, bison head, sickle, bear paw, etc), on a background colour you can choose?

Keep it simple, but would definitely love this. (and possibly pay up to 5 silver to pick one for my town)

[Devily 626]

Well, to simple could be to booring. But it would be nice if we had some choice choosing the image and colors. 

Also flags have always bin  a sign of recognition in the middle ages. 

 

Id like to see this so badly Also the new carts are a big example since they have and image and color. 

[Jibberish 411]

+1

[Orb 261]

+1 for sure. Bonus points for resting and riding animations. Would make the medieval feel go up a notch.

[Devily 626]

Bonus point are always nice.

[Lancelot 765]

It would be great to see one person designated as a Flag Bearer for each kingdom, would look really good going into battle with the crest held high.

[Devily 626]

Correct. Well it could be more people but still the idea of representing you're kingdom or alliance. That only would be awsome to see? 

[Shrimpiie 3665]

As initial implementation it could be even simpler, in that placing a Kingdom Flag in your hand instead of a weapon would then show what you are asking for. Of course this could be expanded out later, but have to start small.

[Redd 4281]

+1. Be cool if the king could bless like 3 flags and they give bonus' of soemthing if carried into PvP... i dunno. 

[Elen 1013]

always a +1

[KanePT 698]

Could be even a new polearm type (something like a halberd or a spear with a flag tied near its head).

[Devily 626]

That can also be an idea yes.. Only makes you a bit of a easy target @ PvP.

[KanePT 698]

Holding a flag would always do that. At least you'd still have a valid weapon.

[Devily 626]

Yes, true but on a horse u could escape bit faster i think.

On foot side I bet u cant walk as fast as a horse with armor on..
