Here's a bit of preview of what the next update will contain.
Flag bearer spawning changes.
The deploy UI now shows whether the flag bearer is Out of Line or if he is dead.
Previously the entire spawn queue would be deleted if the flag bearer went Out of Line. Now the spawn queue simply just pauses and everyone keeps their place in the queue and the queue and timer automatically resumes once the flag bearer becomes Skirmishing or In Formation. If the flag bearer gets killed, the spawn queue still gets deleted and players will then have to choose to either spawn on the main spawn or wait for the flag to possibly be picked up and click deploy on the flag.
Previously if there were 2 flag bearers on your team, players would always be spawning on Flag Bearer 2. Players would first start spawning on flag bearer 1 when flag bearer 2 died or became Out of Line. Now if you choose to spawn on the flag and there are 2 flag bearers, the spawn system will spawn you on the flag of your regiment but if there is only 1 flag bearer alive, both regiments will be able to spawn on that flag bearer.
Let me also add that if a player from 42nd Pennsylvania spawns as the flag bearer and he then later dies. If the player who runs over and picks up the flag is from 32nd Pennsylvania, the flag will still belong to the 42nd Pennsylvania and thus 42nd Pennsylvania players will still prioritize this flag for spawning over the other flag that may be present on the battlefield.
