Smaller resource/unit icons

[Eep]

How about smaller bonus/strategic/etc resource and unit icons? Zooming out the icons remain the same size and end up covering too much of the tile.

I'm looking for something like this too, or at least drop unit icons so they don't block other tiles.

Check my hotkey mod . You can toggle unit and resource icons, along with city banners. Personally, I assign all the keys to mouse buttons (using an external utility).

I'd like to see smaller icons too, but I doubt it will happen until the packed assets are accessible. For civ5, one solution was to swap resource icons for the smaller set... not sure if there is a smaller set available in civ6.

According to the Icons_Resources.xml file (from.. Base/Assets/UI/Icons folder) there are a few extra sizes more than the default 64x64.
----------------------------
<IconTextureAtlases>
<Row Name="ICON_ATLAS_RESOURCES" IconSize="64" IconsPerRow="8" IconsPerColumn="8" Filename="Resources.dds"/>
<Row Name="ICON_ATLAS_RESOURCES" IconSize="38" IconsPerRow="8" IconsPerColumn="8" Filename="Resources38.dds"/>
<Row Name="ICON_ATLAS_RESOURCES" IconSize="50" IconsPerRow="8" IconsPerColumn="8" Filename="Resources50.dds"/>
<Row Name="ICON_ATLAS_RESOURCES" IconSize="256" IconsPerRow="8" IconsPerColumn="8" Filename="Resources256.dds"/>
<Row Name="ICON_ATLAS_RESOURCES_FOW" IconSize="64" IconsPerRow="8" IconsPerColumn="8" Filename="Resources_FOW.dds"/>
</IconTextureAtlases>
-----------------------------
Two of them smaller @ 38 & 50. I'm fairly certain 256 is for Civilopedia articles.
Haven't checked the Units/Flags though.. but i suspect they should also have a variety of sizes.

Of course, such assets are still packaged into the newest BLP archives format .. thus --as you already mentionned @heinous_hat-- we most likely won't be able to assign any of these alternate values until we get our hands on the official SDK.

Whoward's mod for civ5 does it without needing the art in the mod package... this one. Have to see whether the same approach would work here.

Soooo many other excellent Mods from WHoward could certainly be used for Civ6, also!
