Icon for Imperial College (If the vote wins 7-87a)

[Brackenspore]

If the 7-87a wins, then I propose such an icon for Imperial College.

Why?
- Fully corresponds to the name
- The visual image is fully consistent with the Medieval era
- Allows modders to turn Oxford University into a World Wonder or Civilizational National / World Wonder (similar to the American Wonders). Allows us to introduce this into an official Community Patch in the future.

Yes, I sent an appeal to the author. But I'm afraid that the author has been deeply inactive for several years. I wonder when these great works might become public domain?

England's 5UC

It's a Janboruta icon, so my understanding is VP has carte blanche to use it (with credit)

- Fully corresponds to the name

So does the current icon. Oxford is made up of 39 constituent colleges. The specific building depicted is All Souls College.

I don't know what building exactly is being depicted in the icon you suggest, so I can't say whether it is more or less appropriate.

- The visual image is fully consistent with the Medieval era

Without knowing what building that is depicted in the Scottish icon, it can't be said which one is more "medieval"

All Saints college was first opened in 1438, which is considered late medieval. It's close, but still safe. And of course there are other colleges in Oxford that are much older.

- Allows modders to turn Oxford University into a World Wonder or Civilizational National / World Wonder (similar to the American Wonders). Allows us to introduce this into an official Community Patch in the future.

Any modmodder who wants to add oxford as a world wonder can add the college icon you suggest here themselves. It isn't incumbent on the main mod to do modmodders' work for them.

It is a very pretty icon though. I tend to think Janboruta's icons are more beautiful and consistent than the original firaxis icons.

This would be great as there is a huge heritage there
