I need help from those of you who are competent at making artwork with creating for me or loaning me icons that might fit with the buildings introduced within the Era Buildings mod I am creating.
Or: Icons! Icons! My Kingdom for Icons!
These are the buildings that are introduced in the mod:
One final request which would earn my deep gratitude would be if someone were able to make a 'cover' image for the mod like those JFD has for the mercenaries mod, and Pouakai/Janboruta have for the Enlightenment Era mod. And if this is a really huge huge task to do (and it may be given my complete incompetence at such things), feel free to just tell me to AssignStartingPlots.lua with this last desire.

Or: Icons! Icons! My Kingdom for Icons!
These are the buildings that are introduced in the mod:
Spoiler list of buildings in Era Buildings :
- Please don't be put off by the length of the buildings-list. In many cases one icon could be used to cover the entire 'set' of building-types.
- For example, I am currently using the in-game art for the granary for all the "City-Growth" buildings. While this is fine for the earlier eras, as example, something a little more appropo to the later eras would be nice for, say, the Industrial and later eras for a building that adds food in the city
- What I am looking for at the current time is (in terms of building icons):
- Any icons you may have already made that might fit for one of these buildings, or that might fit to cover the entire line of buildings, for Ancient Era to Information Era
- Icons you may have made but never ended using, to give such an icon a 'home'
- Willingness to create an icon or two that would still be needed after "a" and "b" have been exhausted. But obviously this would only apply after permissions and offers of work already done have run their course, and then only if a smallish number of icons is still needed. By 'smallish' I mean no more than three or four: I don't want anyone to spend anything like the kind of time that would be required to create individual new icons for all these buildings.
- Particularly I am hoping someone has or is willing to create an icon or two that would fit with the 'Naval' buildings, as I am currently just using some unit and tech icons.
- As mentioned, please hold off on doing anything yet as regards "c" and "d" until the result from art-capable forum members is known so far as loaning existing artwork.
- Full credit of course will be made to the original creators of such artwork.
- Feel free to badger me with questions or for further explanation of what a (for example) 'Haberdashery' or a 'Millinery' is/does if you think you have an existing icon that might work, but have no earthly idea what one of those is or what the in-game function is. It is better to know sometimes what a building does or is in evaluating whether an existing icon would 'fit'.
One final request which would earn my deep gratitude would be if someone were able to make a 'cover' image for the mod like those JFD has for the mercenaries mod, and Pouakai/Janboruta have for the Enlightenment Era mod. And if this is a really huge huge task to do (and it may be given my complete incompetence at such things), feel free to just tell me to AssignStartingPlots.lua with this last desire.
Notes:
- At whoward's suggestion I have updated the mod to make use of the unused Supermarket Icon for the Industrial Era and later "City Growth" buildings
- Calcul8or has been gracious enough to allow me to use some icons he had made for another project, but which never seemed to have gotten used. I've noted where I intend to use the ones made available. And I'll have to think through where one icon can do some 'double-duty'.
