So then what do flags do? Flags either increase the - 1. Attack 2. Defense 3. Supplies of the troops "SURROUNDING THE GENERAL ONLY". They vary from +1, +2, +4. What is the difference between that and an Aura? |

I hear that aura can be combined. You can't do that here. Moreover, Aura is a skill set which doesn't require any cost. But, here, you must buy the flag and they can only be equped with the general having "Banner" skill |

Or can we buy a skill in ew6? |

I thought it did work like an aura. It would have been great if so. Darth Vader, is an ew4 aura mode possible? , Gerd von Rundstedt, Nice profile by the way. I have already made flags do more damage. It doesn't make them do 100 damage so for flags it is more like adding +10 to a unit. |

Attention! there are no +4 flags in the game.
And the +2+flags cost 600π and more. (The Eagle Flag (Supply +2) is overpriced)
With two flags +4 is not so much - but the only way to boost regular units.
If there where +4 flags, banner could be probably a great skill, sadly they are impossible to find.

The problem is flags have too much potential. Theoretically, you can buff 10 units in the same turn (of course that's impossible). That's 40 extra damage against one unit.
Buff 3 units and you get the equivalent of two +6 weapons.

Buff 3 units and you get the equivalent of two +6 weapons. Theoretically is the key word here. I tried doing some campaigns with Sakurako with two +2 flags just to test it. Even after 3 or 4 rounds it became impossible to do; she was more valuable jumping ahead, flanking, capturing facilities, etc. Again, this was a test run to try to maximize banner but its effect was so minimal I just gave up. |

How about on an artillery general? You need some bodyguards for them anyway. |

DeRoy in 1798 HRE comes with the dragon flag and has low movement so I try to activate the flag as much as I can when he attacks. The problem is high movement is one of if not the most important advantage of HQ generals, so if your general has 3, 4, 5 hex movement you lose that advantage to get a max +4 attack (with two flags). It's unfortunate.
I wrote in another thread about what flags would make it worthwhile. My feeling is that due to cost and effect, banner is up there with logistics and transport as far as useless skills.
