City States Leaders for BNW [WIP Icon contribution hread]

[JFD]

A good idea, but perhaps the icons would look better if they followed the City-State colour schemes, and used the city coat of arms where possible:

I agree that the City State color schemes should be used. Makes it easier to find them on the map and the amount of color schemes is limited as it is.

I agree. I like it better than the generic city icons. It would be cool to see these on the diplomacy screen.

BUt I still like the leader icon when I talk to then.

I'm happy to roll with that. Should we aim for the pure black backgrounds though - or making things a bit more lively by using their text colours?

 

[COF]

Take the colors that said City States already use.

 

[TPangolin]

... I did? The first is Almaty, the second is Florence. Both use the city-state colours as they appear on the map.

 

[COF]

Yeah, that is what I meant. A black bg and icon in the a certain color, sorry for expressing it in a confusing way.

It's easy enough to add these, but what do you guys think about replacing the generic CS trait icon on the world map as well?

how would we know which trait? example?

 

[Nutty]

Does the trait icon need to be on the world screen? If we think it does, the trait could be a second icon [...]

...I dunno, just throwing out an idea. Perhaps I'll make a couple of mock-ups tonight.

 

[TPangolin]

Before actually continuing with creation of assets - do people want the BG colour to be the text colour? It might make things a bit more colourful in the long run - and overall doesn't look bad at all.

Spoiler :

^Or even with unique colours like this - as was with the original plan

 

[Nutty]

Here's a (very) quick and (very) dirty mockup with 3 possible versions, [allied and not allied, and all that actually include the trait after all]. [The first and second replace the generic CS icon.]

A fourth option should be obvious [as should leaving the generic CS icon alone and removing the trait, as I was originally thinking].

@TP: I like the colored backgrounds.

 

[TPangolin]

I really enjoy 1 and 2. Regardless, I just have to remember to hold onto all my alphas before shipping them off.
