Map Art Style & Icons

Yes, I knew that flags were moddable. If castle/temple icons etc can be modded too then even better. I guess I wasnt being too clear with my explanation. What i was asking for was the ability for a map-artist to specify in the .map file which set of map icons are to be used. I suppose this is the same as being able to specify in the .map file which mods are to be loaded, although ideally the new set of icons would be included with the map rather than as a mod...

Keep up the good work!

Im not big on mods but Id love someone to make the independent flag something smaller. I do want to see the other nations flags so I dont want to turn flags off, but the independent flag kindof gets in my way visually.

Ooh I just realised I didn't even answer your question! I'm obviously not paying enough attention today... The specific icons i was talking about were:

* Flags (already moddable I know)
* Fortress icon
* Temple icon
* Income icon

I don't think any others are placed directly on the map...

the one for a Victory Point also.

I think everything else (arrows and army size) are drawn images. The technical term being vector instead of raster. A size setting increments might be nice but it would be a whole different subject.
