Better Civ Icons - This mod replaces a number of civilization icons with more historically accurate variations.

This mod replaces a number of civilization and city-state icons with more historically accurate or more aesthetically pleasing variations. While some of base game, vanilla icons are culturally relevant, they did not satisfy my desire for historical accuracy or unique look. No more bulls for Spain, way more bulls for Sumer! Intricate basmala in place of a generic palm for Arabia! Improved versions of vanilla icons for Poland, Japan and Russia!

This mod will be updated when new DLC and...

Update 1.1

As Spaniard that bull is fudging insult, the same as if they put a paella... thank you for changing this shameful situation! However I encourage you to change it again and look for the Aspa de Borgoña, the simbol of the Tercios and the first flag of Spain.

Glad you like the change, however I am pretty settled on the current symbol. I was considering the Cross of Burgundy, but I am saving it in the case I'd like to make an actual Burgundy civ in the future. My reasoning for using the Spanish coat of arms as the symbol is that it emphasises two elements: the monarchy (crown) and the the motto Plus Ultra, as symbolised by the Pillars of Hercules. I find that such symbol matches the design of Spain better (naval expansion, settling other continents and trade).

The Cross of Burgundy is the Aspa de Borgoña o Cruz de Borgoña

i dislike some unit icons, such as warrior, scout and archer.. , and horse resource icon

more better icons might be necessary.

There's a mod that changes civs colors but it can't change it in the "choose civ" screen, although you made it. Can you explain to me how did you manage to change the texture from the start menu?

Sorry for a long-overdue update here on Civfanatics; the mod was updated on Steam about a week ago, so sorry for that inconvenience!
