Mount & Blade 2: I'm sure you play a lot of Bannerlord, but can you really call yourself a banner lord, probably not if you just use Bannerlord's standard in-game banner editor.

Fortunately, there are online tools you can use to create custom banners. You create a banner and it appears in-game in a second, no need to install any mods or anything, it just appears in the game.

There is already a sub-Reddit for creative banners, and players have made some great ones, like this Ghostbusters banner by Reddit user Da_red_goez_fasta. It takes a little testing to understand how it works, but you can add all the standard elements to the banner and actually change the size and color, add multiple shapes and images, rotate it, and move it around. Once you are happy with the design, use Ctrl-C to copy the code directly below the banner window.

Next, launch Bannerlord and load the game. In the map view, press B to bring up the banner creation window; simply press Ctrl-V to paste the banner code. Just paste it into the game when the banner editor is open. This is like magic.

And if you need the code for the PC Gamer banner image above, here it is:

32.40.14.2187.1679.784.624.1.0.0.529.40.40.240.240.652.565.1.0.0.527.35.40.240. .874.564. 1.0.0.510.149.149.635.582.782.918.1.0.0.527.22.149.103.81.532.912.1.0.0.510.22.149.65.63.554.928.1. 0.0.450.22.149.95.91. 636.912.1.0.0.338.22.149.101.103.874.912.1.0.272.308.22.149.324.212.748.856.1.0.180.529.22.149.95.86.987.912.1.0.0.510.22.149.86. 58.1011.942.1.0.-52

Just copy and paste! If you can make something better (and I'm sure you can), please send that code our way.

Thanks, RPS!
