A little trivia, one thing that i noted by the ss in the BTS official website:

All icons for infantary use the Military Symbols of Nato (http://images.military.com/ResourcesSubmittedFiles/Military_Symbols_Guide.pdf). But i don't know if that's the same case for the ships and airplanes.


Example:

see?


PS: That's for those that were wondering why Road To War use this ugly symbols :goodjob: .

PSS: I hope that this is the right answer :crazyeye:

Yes, correct. :) And ships/air use NATO symbols too.

However note that instead of the pips indicating unit size (corp, battalion, army) they indicate advancement.

3 pips = early infantry
4 pips = improved infantry
5 pips = advanced infantry
5 pips + red line = modern infantry

:cry: Ugly?! :cry:

xD well, you can't say that they are "OH MY GOD THIS IS AWESOME!!!"... because well, they are just geometric pictures :P

He's got ya there GS. ;)

:rotfl: He does !!

May be, with a light brown/yellow background these symbols look more eyefriendly: http://forums.civfanatics.com/showpost.php?p=5550084&postcount=2

Can we expect full graphic icons anytime in the future because I have been waiting for those to play the mod (I tried and couldn't over the icons..yeah I know pretty lazy of me)

You won't be getting head-shot icons as there are multiples of various types (4 infantry) making it impossible to decifer between them.

However revamped icons will be in beta 3.
