All Banner Tiers & Effects Guide For Mount & Blade 2 Bannerlord

If you know your classical era history you know that banners and standards were a big deal, especially for the Romans. These banners are held high up by banner men or standard bearers and are items of pride for the ones who made and hold them.

That’s why it’s a big deal if they lose a standard or banner to an enemy, since they lose a part of the unit’s identity.
