In Bannerlord the names of settlement are no longer color coded to the faction, like in Warband. TWs solution to faction identification is that all banners of the fation follow the same two color colorscheme(red and gold for Vlandia) which is very slick and good looking and really makes the faction seem unified, I can't deny that it looks super cool. But this limits banner design somewhat and I liked that the banners in Warband had some more individuality with their many colors and patterns/symbols. The mod Custom Banners and Uniforms Color Pack "warband"-ifies the banners in Bannerlord, but it creates a new problem: the fact that it is now hard to see what settlements belong to which specific faction since settlement nameplates display your relation to the faction owner(Neutral, Enemy, Ally) but not what actual faction it is. So this simple and extremely poorly made mod shoehorns in the base color of the faction as the background on the nameplates. Not much else really. This mod has no options and is hardcoded to fit the current setup of factions, and if the settlement isn't owned by any of the 8 main factions the mod will default back to the vanilla code with Neutral, Enemy, Ally so it shouldn't break anything. This mod is save game safe, and can be added or removed anytime.

It would be cool to make it dynamic and adding style layers to the brushes on the fly to accomodate created and added/modded in factions colors but so far I haven't figured out a good way of doing it or adding properties to VMs/widgets for that matter which makes it somewhat harder. Don't hold your breath thinking I will fix anything or add anything to this mod.


If anyone wants to develop this further you have my permission to do so(under the Unlicense if you're interested), I don't mind but a spot in the credits would be nice :)
