AOK:FLAGS

From GenieWiki

Flags are used in many parts of scenario design. They provide a small LOS and cannot be destroyed. However, they can be removed by triggers. Usually flags are used like map revealers although with a physical representation.

Often flags are positioned outside the walls of of a town or fortress for regal purposes or line the way to a player's gates. The variation of the flag graphics (Flag A, B, C etc) can be used to refect the nature of a civilisation. For example a Mongol lord may have the eastern-looking Flag H by his camp rather than a Hundred-Years-War-esque Flag B.

As well as decoration they are often placed to mark out an area where a trigger has been set, such as the Bring Object to Area or Objects in Area conditions. This makes it easier for the player to find such an area.
