That banner is already used for the captains appointed by Denethor I think it fits very well. Heroic units in general don't use banner carriers most of the time, because they can respawn fallen members from rank one anyway.
Thanks for answer LoM.
I don't have any complain about current usage of banner of Stewards of Gondor, it is well thought and it fits nicely in my opinion (except that casting range maybe
). I just think that it would be very nice touch (in cosmetic and lore term) that every heroic unit should have it own special flag. I was guided with example of palantir guards. That heroic unit has it own special flag which I found as very nice detail in heraldic,lore&aesthetic term. I have suggested that Boromir's flag as the most fitting one (in my opinion) for Guardians of the White city, because of correlation between this unit and Boromir. I don't suggest any kind of removing current usage of Denethor's ability or current usage of Steward's banner in same time, I was just for adding some new special aesthetic banners for heroic units.
If not this banner then maybe some other...
Now concerning correlation between banner carrier and respawn of fallen members, I didn't think in that way, as I have tried to explain (again palantir guards have same ability of respawn (?) and they have banner carrier, so my suggestion is mainly in aesthetic term). If that is reason why this suggestion is maybe too much, then I am a bit surprised.
I thought that carrier as 6th member in battalion will induce stronger unit in general and maybe small balance disturbing etc.
Pitty, there is a lot of material in term of heraldic and flags for these kind of suggestions, for example Glorfindel's wind riders could have banner carrier with Glorfindel's house seal etc... (I had some visions
)
I am totally aware about current priorities of team (I don't know how much time is needed to make some similar change in game for these units), but I was curious to know that do you guys think about this idea.
Since we are in this topic. It would be really helpful if once i cast this banner thing, passive ability would pop out in units last palantir slot( they have one free slot i think)
I like that mini proposal, it would be nice touch.
