That's actually quite recognizable. I'm impressed. 
Resource requests?

Here is the Platesmiths Resource. I made this Resourse a little large in order for the Armor Helmit, Anvil and Hammer to show more detail. Game Tested and looks Good on the Map IMO but you guys can decide for yourselves. I thought it best to have the Anvil and Hammer appear Older, and I used an Early Knight Helmit that I slightly colored sort of Bronze to help it show on the map better.
Hope this is what you wanted and you will be able to use it...took some time to make
Included Files:
(Platesmiths Civilopedia Resource Icons)
Civilopedia platesmithslarge.pcx and platesmithssmall.pcx files.
(Platesmiths Resource and Shadow)
PlatesmithsResource.pcx for your "resources.pcx" file,
PlatesmithsShadow.pcx for your "resources_shadows.pcx" file.
I will post a preview next post.

That is far better than I had imagined! Brilliant effort! Bright colours, you can clearly make out the items depicted, very appropriate items at that - a real success!!! Thanks a lot. I hope others will be using this too.

NICE!! your skills far exceed mine 
you mind doing one without the helmet, and the hammer above the anvil?...

Rambuchan... Thanks for the ecstatic compliment and you are quite welcome Sir. Glad you like it and will get some use from it. As you can see from the small civilopedia icon, I could have made the PLatesmiths Resource smaller but wanted it to show more detail and even if I had made it smaller it would still be covered when mined. This is why I usually make all Resources Offset in the Map Square and use mt Offset Mine so the Mine does not cover Resources. Do you Mine these types of Resources that are actually for the purpose of accessing rather than using a Resource material?If I had the Latest picture you uploaded with the Older looking Pliers while I was working on the Chainsmiths Resource, I would have probably used them.
Spacer One... Sure I can make you a Platesmiths Resource with Only the Anvil and the Hammer. What do you want me to name it? You say you want the Hammer on top of the Anvil and what other details do I need to know? Size and do you want it Offset on the Game square?

(I don't even know how to add these yet. I have been spoilt so far, with having people around who can do these things. Anyway, the planning of the scenario is coming along apace so you will see it soonish in a game.)
I have both pencilled in as strategic resources, which need to be accessed to make certain units. But they will also have production bonuses for those tiles, making them well worth mining. I don't care that the mines would cover them up some, happens with all luxuries and resources.Vuldacon said:
Rambuchan, It is not difficult to add Resources of any kind to the game and I could help you if you want...send me a PM anytime.
None are covered IF you Offset them and use an Offset Mine
My Offset Mine is included with my Barbarian Villages and Goody Huts Zip on this Thread if you want to try it: http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?t=124805 Note that you also need to Offset all of the resources as well.
The best way to adjust any Resource to suit yourself is to do one at a time and check it in the game to be sure it is exactly where you want it on any or all terrain.
Here is a small screenshot of my Offset mine with the Game Iron Resource:

Well to be honest I never tried to add resources myself (was always spoilt and only got Civ Editor a few months back). If it's anything like adding units then I can expect a repetitive headache and much frustration. I get the idea resources are much more straightforward. If I get into trouble with them, I'll come whimpering like a puppy dog.Vuldacon said:Rambuchan, It is not difficult to add Resources of any kind to the game and I could help you if you want...send me a PM anytime.

I now understand what you were going on about with the offsetting.
Now I don't have anything more specific lined up request-wise but it pretty good fun coming up with them, so happy to chip in if there are anymore that need doing or you had some you were juggling around. I think you enjoy it too
Rambuchan... Oh yes, I enjoy any Graphics work with CIV, including units_32.pcx or any .pcx game file, Unit animations, sounds, Terrain and all Graphics Files...Just a matter of finding time for all
...I will Post a small screeshot of the Offset mine with an Iron Game Resource so you can see it. The Iron was just slightly adjusted on the resources.pcx sheet. IF you can copy and paste, the Graphics Files to add Resources are in the Art Folder directly. I have "Read Me" files with all my resources that state where to place the files. After placing the Graphics files, you just need to edit the two .txt files stated in the Read me. You can look at other resource entries to understand how.

The offset mine looks great. Seems more like a mine actually, with trucks going into the hillside rather than a blob on the hilltop.
Thanks for the other tips. It will be a while till I start adding everything, still juggling it around, researching etc.

Colouring that gold would be an easy way to have a 'gold bullion' resource. Or just a more updated way of representing the gold resource. I haven't seen such a thing here yet, although I may have missed it.

I could recolour it, sure.
There's also a gold bar icon included in the aforementioned resource.pcx file, which you be made into a proper resource.

Name it "smiths" and I think upon second look, the hammer would look better in the grass to the right of the anvil(for my purpose)
I will be using it as a "2nd" resource for some units...making them upgradable with a "smith" to tool weapons/armor

Hehe. Nice one mate. I wasn't making a request for myself. Just thought it would come in handy for others. God! I'm so damn selfless sometimes 
. Nice job.
