Make it cheaper to use custom Vbanners

[SnuggleSnail]

I think the world would be ever so slightly more varied/lively/interesting if most villages put a custom image on their banners for people to associate with them. Under the current system that's wayyyy too expensive, even for very simple images. It would be cool if:

a) We could freely choose to mimic the design on any banner already built in our village when constructing a banner for free
b) We got a new custom image crafting option for banners, that's either much cheaper, or has like 10+ uses
c) We could create a custom default image for our banners, maybe retroactively updating blank banners

Changing sketches of already existing banners definitely should be a thing.

I like option "c" the most.

Village Idol gets slot for custom sketch that blank banners will use?

I'd like to be able to alternate between colored and image, but yeah, this would be a good thing overall.

This is a pretty slick solution, especially if you can directly override it by using a sketch to build the banner if you want something different.

If you optimize your images, making nice stuff is dirt cheap resource wise. Here's a guide on how to do it: viewtopic.php?f=42&t=66736
If it's too much work, I could do it for you for a price.

This is the main thing that needs to be done imo. Having to bash a banner and rebuild it to make it pretty is inconvenient.

Isn't a large portion of cost to put in custom images to help keep down the GPU cost of displaying everyone on screen? Would letting everyone spam a high complexity image after a single creation/purchase cause problems?
