I decided to make new pedia icons to replace the existing ones which show the leaderhead. The ones posted are all based off of each civ's modern national flag (except in Gran Colombia's case) and were created in PictureIt! publishing, which isn't a bad program for 2-D images. Included in this pack are large icons for the following civs:

United States
England
Germany
France
Russia
Spain
Scotland
Ottoman Empire
Ethiopia
India
China
Japan
Korea
Mongolia
Gran Colombia

(Gran Colombia, Scotland, and Ethiopia I created for the mod I'm making)

The remaining civs (Scandinavia, Gaul, Rome, Greece, Egypt, Carthage, Persia, Babylon, Arabia, Zululand, Iroquois Confederacy, Aztec Empire, Inca Empire, Polynesia, Sioux) are forthcoming. All are ones that no longer exist or represent

groups of nations, and so I have to find historical flags/banners or create my own for them.

The Small icons will be included later, I'm not yet sure on how they'll look.

Here's the first half of the files (I don't feel like figuring out how the file server works right now :p):

And a preview:

*the icons will be slightly darker in-game*

All flags I got from www.flags.net (except for Gran Colombia, I found that at www.fotw.ca) and used as templates for the designs. Thanks to pdescobar for telling me that 256 colors are needed for it to show up in-game, and Plexis for unwittingly giving me the design idea ;).
 
Could you complete the set so all civs have a flag? You could use the Mexican for the Aztec, the Iranian for Persia etc.
 
I agree with Yoda Power, please finish the set!! I've been wanting something like this for a while!! Thank you for what you've done so far.
 
Hookah: I prefer the modern German flag myself, but if you'd like the Nazi flag I can do it up for you in a few days.

Yoda Power: I definitely plan to do this. The reason I didn't already is because the other civs either a) are now extinct and never had a national flag (or their national flag would take some looking to find) or b) as with Scandinavia and Arabia they represent a group of nations and there is no flag for them.

I could use the modren Greek and Egyptian flags, and also the modern flags you suggested, but I'd really rather design flags to represent the civs as they were in the past. When I get home to my computer I will begin work on this and post a thread in the main forum for comments and advice. :)

TVA22 Thanks! I'm glad its useful to you (and Yoda Power). I wasn't sure if anyone would be interested. Like I said above, I will definitley finish these, but I can't work on them unitil probably Thurday at the earliest.
