📋 About This Mod
Adds the Banner Defender (shield version) to the banner ambition so you can have a normal banner if wanted over the defender version.
Durability - (90)
Melee Defense - (+12)
Range Defense - (2)
Maximum Fatigue - (-15)
Reduces any ranged damage taken by -4%
Allies at a range of 4 tiles or less receive 10% of the Resolve of the character holding this standard as a bonus, up to a maximum of the standard bearer's Resolve. (this was a nightmare to get working proper, mostly my own fault lol)
I tested using legends so hopefully it will work with reforged as well, let me know if it doesn't and ill try to get back to the drawing board.
I tried with an ongoing game and seemed to work but again let me know in comments. Safe option is to start a new campaign so you can get the chosen banner on creation.
With the item spawner mod the banner will default to the yellow banner with the black bear on it, this does the same thing to the normal banner.
As Always a big TY to the BB modding Discord for always helping when i needed it.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Tiny but dedicated following (8 endorsements) — this is a niche pick for banner lovers.
- 852 downloads show some interest despite the low endorsement count.
- Freshly updated (December 2025) — likely compatible with current game version.
⚠️ Cons
- Only one item added — if you want a full banner overhaul, this isn't it.
- Low endorsement count (8) means it's not widely tested — expect potential bugs.
For players who want a shield variant of the battle standard for roleplay or build variety. If you're a completionist collecting all banner types, this is a must-have. Skip if you want major gameplay changes — this is a single-item addition.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since it's a single item, use a mod manager to easily toggle it on/off without messing up your load order.
- Check the in-game crafting or loot tables to see where the Banner Defender appears — it might be craftable or found in specific locations.
- If you're on a modded server, make sure the mod is installed on both client and server to avoid crashes.
