Italian Flags and Banners
VINC is taking historical accuracy in Tsardoms to the next level. He is now customising the handheld banners of Italian factions and their mercenaries to match the various internal families and sub-factions. Each Italian faction will now have multiple types of flags and banners flown depending on the unit type and on faction. Even for the same unit there may be different flags depending on which faction hires.
For Genoese mercenaries we will have as follows:
-Genoa: Doria banners
-Romans: Doria and Giustiniani banners
-Rebels: del Carreto
-Milan: Doria and Spinola
-France: Grimaldi
-Austria: Doria
-Pope, Florence: Fieschi, Spinola(present in Athens)
So for example, when Romans will hire Genoese crossbowmen and marines, they will have banners from the families with who they had most affinities historically.
From left to right, top to bottom:
Giustiniani Longo, Grimaldi, del Carretto, Fieschi, Spinola, Doria.
Spinola has the old version like in Athens.
Giustiniani acronyms: "GI" stands for either Giovanni Iustianiani or Giustiniani. "C.SYI" = Civitas of Scio/Chio/Chios.
