About this mod
NEW VERSION !
For the 1.1.5 version
This mod changes all the banners with custom ones, changes uniform colors, which are natively ovesaturated, thus makes balance in natural cloth color and details colored in faction color, and adds shield design variety.
NOT savegame compatible ! Playthroughs dedicated to this mod recommended!
- Permissions and credits
- Changelogs
videos are from the now very old 1.0 version, but you should get the idea, it`s only getting better:
This mod is now only a banner pack, to have the new relation bar, settlement icons and name colors the way it is shown on the images, you must download the UI part only, made by Bloc here Settlement Icons - Redesign, and run it alongside CBU Pack.
Now you can use another banner pack with that mod if you wish so.
Got bored of the unicolored banners ?
Your eyes are fed up of the overly-saturated troop uniforms?
Using the banner editor extracted from the early Beta files and uploaded online, I have made this custom banner pack for all the major and minor faction clans.
Mod is for ENGLISH language only atm, using different language, mod will not work as intended.
The banners and uniform colors are implemented using the Poc Color mod as a base, and it`s very well explained and in depth by its creator purpulez!
Huge kudos to purpulez for making the code of his mod open to us, so we can enjoy our custom config files using his mod !
THERE MIGHT BE SOME IMPROPER CULTURAL SHIELDS shown because of changes in assets center during last few patches of the game, as there are too many of them, i will go over fixing some of them slowly over time.
From 1.0.0 version onwards the pack includes proper design use on battle banners, adds custom banners for ALL rebel towns, having in mind their culture and starting clan owner and is made compatible with SEPARATISM Mod - CHAOS START (english only)!
In order for Separatism to load the custom banners, you need to save the game right at the start and load that savegame again.

Installation:
- Unzip the download CBUfor1.1.5 folder , and inside the extracted folder should be a folder named "PocColor", put it in the Modules folder in the Bannerlord directory.
- Make sure to delete if you already have the POC Color Mod, it can cause issues.
- Check the Poc Color Randomizer Mod at launch, and enjoy !
(Have in mind when starting a new game or first time enabling the mod on an old save, when the game loads up the map, banners can be still Native ones, so save the game again immediately and load it up agan, banners should reload then !)
(before starting any new mod, i always recommend using the Module Unblocker mod, because some Windows iterations block .dlls)
Known issues:
- If the player uses a complex custom banner for himself, it might get monocolored in the next reload. Solution is either paste your banner in the banner editor after each load (using banner paste mod or other), or check out the Player Banner Shields optional file and follow the instructions there
- Using the Banner Color Persistence mod might create a bug in battles where all the units wear white uniforms.
- In some rare instances, banners of the clans can mess up while switching factions, if it happens to you mid-game, just save the game and move a second on the main map.
Planned features:
- Continue adding to variety and immersion by further tweaking banners, uniforms and shields.
-Continue improving the UI elements

Spoiler:
Some of the shield designs for empire factions are taken from the Polybian mod, a couple of the shields and banner designs are inspired by the great creations from Reddit, such as the lion head for Vlandia by 88wildy, and the masterfully done Byzantine eagle was given by MacrmaM1234, for the South Empire.
This mod is at the moment very well complemented by the Bear My Banner , BannerPeasants mod, or any other similar banner-carrying mods, until the banner carrying units are added to the vanilla game.
Low tier troops, which are the bulk of every army, have clothes of natural cloth colors with many random shades, whilst just minor details are having the color of the faction in several shades as well, to avoid over-saturation of the Native colors, PLUS making only high tier troops have primary color of the faction, but the toned down version of those colors and in several shades, and the result is very pleasing !
ALL ruling clans now have their own banners, that they will switch to in case of another clan taking their throne in the kingdom.
ALL the major factions have many culturaly inspired shield variations, while noble troops and high tier cavalry will bear clan banners on their shields, to represent the personal retinue of the commanding lords.
All the minor factions' uniforms are colorised appropriately and edited some of the shields (Skolderbrova viking shield designs for example) for better effect, and as they are far and few in between across the whole map, they shouldn't impact the oversaturation of the battlefield.
I also tried to connect some clans to the Warband lore, through their banners, where it was possible and logical (such as Banu Sarran of the to-be Sarranid Sultanate in Warband timeline, VAGIRoving as the ruling house of the future Vaegirs, having both of the cousins' King Yaroglek's and Prince Vladym the Bastard's symbols (i imagined them being the same clan before Yaroglek's father executed Vladym's mother, after which he split), Khergit of the to-be Khergit Khanate and dey Arromanc, holders of Jaculan, future Jelkala, the capital of the future Rhodok faction, splinter state of Vlandia, thus i also went in a more "Native-y" style of banners, rather than pure fancy.
