are there any new icons available on this forum to download?

And to add to Vuldacon´s answer: Vuldacon made some very nice additional buttons like the garrison button that you can find here, replacing the "build radar tower" button with a garrison for scenarios with an ancient theme:

Thank you both, is there more from other creators?

register... I have not noticed New Buttons uploaded, however there are different Buttons that have been made for different games.
I have several different Buttons I made for EFZI2 Elite for example.
You can make your own if you understand how.

I really like your garrison button it's exactly what I needed. I’m using it to cover three icons used for special artillery units stationed in forts, and it seems like a perfect fit.

However, I’m anticipating that an issue might come up. When I replace these icons, the change will affects all artillery units that use the bombard ability, not just the specific ones I intended. Is there any way to separate or assign different icons to different types of bombard capable units? Also, where are those located? I’ve checked all the text documents under Buttons and NormButtons, but nothing shows up.

register... the Buttons are programed for the task they do. As far as I know there is no way to change them unless Flintlock has access to the programing.

I've seen in a modded scenario (the star trek one), what appears to have culturally based specialists. Any walkthrough on how it's done? I'm guessing faction specific techs are need to differentiate specialists, as well as new specialist types, plus the popheads.

Popheads from the mod. I'm just a bit confused as the base game doesn't seem to have this.

I was able to add a number of specialists, by the time I got to 10 per faction things seem to have broken down.

Is there a total limit, or a limit per faction? i.e. 7 specialists and below per faction, you are fine, maximum 30 total all factions? Anyone test this before?

Are you sure the AI is using all those specialists ?

The plan would be for each faction group to have their own specialists. I know from the star trek mod, ~20ish or so seemed to be successfully be used by the various factions. . . I'll have to do some more testing it seems.

Will report back with my findings.
