.... are you serious right now?
This is the current icon for the mongol's Ger. It's taken from the Goth civ's Hov from the Fall of Rome scenario (Firaxis, Civ V G&K expansion). It's A mudbrick hovel with a thatch roof.
This is the art for the Kiiz Uy (kazakh word for ger) from the Kazakh civ by DJSHenninger. This icon closely resembles a ger in appearance because the artist' intent was to depict a ger, as opposed to, say, a thatch-roof hovel
My question is if it would be possible to ask DJSHenninger for the use of his art asset (on the bottom, the one that looks like a ger) so that the mongol's ger looks like a ger. Because as @infidel88 so astutely pointed out, the art in question looks just like how a ger looks in real life.

I reached out to him way back in the day and did not hear back, and I don't appropriate content without permission. Just squint and the current one looks fine.

Just PM'd @DJSHenninger. He has consented to the use of the icon. Actually I was surprised how fast his reply was

So what’s the next step here? I’ve never participated in any changes wrt to the base CBP, and there’s been 2 updates since permission for the new icon was granted.
Do I submit this as a “bug” on github and have G take care of it?
Is there somewhere I should upload the relevant icon atlas, or will G or someone else handle this?

The asset pasted above is not the full resolution asset - I figured that those who cared about it would fish that out for me and paste it here.

Fair enough. Should be portrait index 2 in these files.

What does one have to do with the other?
Both civilian units designed to assist in combat? It's a fair comparison imo.

Okay, compare away. What do you want to do? Buff the khan? Nerf the ST? And why, other than that the two units in isolation don't match up, in your opinion?

Compare always with the three uniques. Then, give us some real play testing reports with both civs.
Is Mongolia performing much worse than Assyria? The whole game?

The Khan also provides normal GG benefits.
I mean yeah both are civilians, but comparing them still isn't easy. Do you assume Assyria have a great general as well as a siege tower? In that comparison the Khan is free and a lot more mobile. The Khan also technically remains active the entire game.

I feel like Mongolia is really good already, and doesn't need anything. Unless the data shows that Mongolia isn't doing well then I don't think we need a change.

Unlike the khan, siege tower is slow, needs to be built, one can only have two at any give time (and later on can't be replaced if destroyed). It's a good UU, but I find Mongolia strong enough as it is both on its own and compared to Assyria.

Having recently played Mongolia, I was wondering if their UA needs a change? The Ger and Khan are very solid for what they have but I greatly dislike the annexation of CS with their UA.
Playing Authority, tributes are very important. Yet, the heavy tributes for Mongolia gives you a city that loses some/most of its buildings as though it's newly conquered. What changes can we make to improve this?

The mongol Ua bonus needs a buff and it is getting one. We’ve slowly increased the potency of bullying but we left their UA behind.

I'm just guessing that Mongolia now gets a lot of yields for annexing a city-state(depending on what type, annexing a maritime grants a huge food bonus per cities, annexing a cultured grants a culture bonus per cities [so that cities can expand as well], or annexing a militaristic grants you all their units) and then a national WLTKD for annexing any city-states.
Then the cooldown gets reduced to 25 Turns instead of 50, but now a solid -500 is added to the CS's afraid status, so it's harder for them to be annexed without actual troops and territory bordering them.
:thinking:
