Default Re: The Modder\'s Wishlist

It would be nice to have custom unit or commander icons, so that we can add rules text for obscure abilities (especially one-battle-spell) that we may add.

#icon "<imagefile>" "short" "long"

i.e.
#icon "./whatever/candelabra.tga" "Sacred" "Sacred troops are extremely devoted to the god's cause. They can be blessed and require half the usual cost to maintain."

I suppose that is three arguments. For custom icons the first word of the long text block could always be used as the short description.
