Merijn, if you have time, can you add a button for James IV?
And maybe some civilopedia entries to both him and Johan de Witt?

 

[AbsintheRed]

Once again, some more buttons are needed:
(don't worry, no more LH updates for a while )
New button: Bohdan Khmelnytsky (while the current button looks awesome, it's a totally different style, and I would rather keep things consistent)
Button for James I and John II

Some more civilopedia entries would be great too, if you have some time for it:
Civilopedia entry for John II
Civilopedia entry for most new units

I dislike our icon for Protestantism.
Too different in style compared to the other 2 christian ones.
Does anyone have a better suggestion for it?

 

[SanJose]

This don't look better

Orthodox - white cross
Catholicism - brown(golden) cross
Protestantism - purple cross

 

[AbsintheRed]

I would prefer to have a better icon which fits the style of the other 2.
Didn't anyone see anything usable in other mods?

 

[Baron03]

I thought the one already in use was fine.
Maybe the Presbyterian Cross?

I don't mind the cross itself, only it's background

 

[gilgames]

Well i am satisfied whit current icon, its modern compared to the others, looks cool, and for me, symbolize the advancement you made in the game.

Doesn't DoC use a different icon (a brown cross, I think)?

 

[gilgames]

So I was thinking about it. If you want to make it stylish, then give orthodox's current icon, current chatolic can be the protestant, but grey and orthodoxy can be a double cross. reasons: double-cross and 'apple' more symoblic to orthodox, the fancy cross (now O) could represent the wealth of Papacy and current cathlic cross is pure 'n simple would fit more to protestantism.

also you can use some icon similar to these:

Merijn, what do you think about using the grey cross icon from DoC for Protestantism?
Or do you prefer our current icon?

 

[merijn_v1]

I don't really have a preference. I like both the same.

 

[The Southerner]

I thought the one already in use was fine.
Maybe the Presbyterian Cross?

I really like this suggestion. The old icon (black cross on the grey background) looks too modern and austere and the DoC cross is too simple and not in keeping with the style of RFCE. Seeing as he founded the sect (so to speak) what about a deviation of the Luther Rose: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luther_rose?

I need art - both icon and billboard sign for the cities - for the Order of the Dragon and the Order of Calatrava companies.
Any suggestions, any volunteers?

 

[gilgames]

If i will have time, i will look after it, though no hard promises...

 

[gilgames]

ok here is something:

i hope u like it.

 

[AbsintheRed]

Thanks, it's greatly appreciated!
Actually I already got into company icons tonight, and probably the first image in your post will be the base for the icon for the Order of the Dragon.
Will show my other proposals soon. The smaller gamefont icons were the first, the normal icons will come next.

 

[AbsintheRed]

What do you think about these for new billboard signs?

 

[DC123456789]

The Order of Calatrava sign looks a bit weird not being the same shape as the other two orders.

 

[AbsintheRed]

Yep, that's intentional. Note that the gamefont files are very small ingame, mostly seen on the city billboards.
Their size is either 21*20 or 16*16 pixels, so it's good if there is a little extra distinction for these.

Here are the buttons for the 2 new companies:
