Unit Buttons Standardization

Sparth · Aug 14, 2014

Ok I almost ended with ethnic unit buttons and now I want to start new project. I want redesign and refresh building icons. First I want to add in left right corner building main properity icon, then (if nessesery) change button graphic. Here are you can find sample buttons for 4 different types of buidlings.

PS. Ofcourse this project take some time and will end after v35 release.

I really really appreciate all your work. It gives the game a much more polished look and feeling. I can't wait to see these new building icons in game.

Looks good. I was wondering if it would be artistically valid to add a bit that shows the resource that some buildings give eg butcher gives raw meat. Given the size of the button you are working with I expect not.

If only all resources have icons then i can try

They did, in the game fonts 75 file, for a short while but then Hydro added more but did not provide small icons for them.

Most of them stay what they. I just add them left-up corner icon, like in this sample:

@Sparth

What happened to the cowboy looking unit graphic (not the icon/button) for the Outlaw? The Highwayman and Outlaw now look nearly identical now. Is hard to tell them apart and it seems out of place in the Steam Era. If you don't like the white shirt of the guy you could always recolor it black to look like a "bad guy".
