The screenshot explains how it would work. It basically just show the face of the owner of the unit you're seeing, and yes, this idea was shameless stolen from Mount & Blade.

But why not sigils or coat of arms like in Mount & Blade?

Player faces are "theoretically" easy to implement, since they're already done, while Gruk or Mevans or whoever does the textures would have to draw an infinite amount of sigils for each faction, and Mevans would also have to code a system to make a sigil choose-able. As you can see, player heads are, as I said, "theoretically" easier to implement (I have no Java skills so take that with a grain of salt.).

There could also be four configuration options:

> Disabled (if you don't want your immersion ruined);

> Other players only (it'll only display the heads of other players on their own units)

> All players (it'll display the heads above other players' hired units and also your face on your own units);
