I'm working on a scenario/mod and I would like for my new city-states to use a custom icon next to their names. I noticed that city-states do not have any texture atlases so I guess the icons are hard coded? Is there a way to change them?
Custom icon for city-states?

The icon is based on the trait (mercantile, militaristic, etc.). Unfortunately, because of the hard-coding the DLL, [if I recall correctly] you couldn't just add a new fake trait, so you have to edit the CityBannerManager.lua file.
First, you'd want to add a couple new columns to the MinorCivilizations table, and add the appropriate entries to your city state SQL or XML, and add your atlases:
SQL:
Then replace this line in CityBannerManager.lua:
with this:
EDIT: Note you would add this changed Lua file to the mod, VFS=true. No Entry Point is required.
[I haven't tested this, but it should get you close.]
