Great... But if you want to cut them out more clearly, open them in e.g. "loadingscreens\symbols" and in Photoshop, go "select\load selection" and choose "Alpha 1 (sp)". This way you'll be able to cut them out clearly...
I really like the idea of faction specific icons...

Thanks for the advice try that later this evening

Well, opening the FE_buttons_48 makes no difference, they have an alpha channel too. I suggest opening them with photoshop, selcting them via "load selection" and then pasting them into the Image Converter, maybe this would work...

Any chance of a new and exciting icon for the slave faction?

Hi Wipeout

I really had invisaged a dark brown woody text background icon, with the iconic pitchfork crossed with a sword sitting above the mannicles (slave resource icon) that appears on the strat map.

What do you think?

A long time ago I remember some discussion of a script that would be run before the game, according to which faction the player intended to use, configuring the game for optimum challenge. I think they were swapping out unit stats, but it might be interesting to have things such as starting position be unique when in player control. For example, playing as Rome you would face a united Gaul, but playing as Gaul you would start as a single tribe.

This would, of course, multiply the development time of each release nightmarishly, but might make a cool mini-mod if anyone sees an efficient method of implementation. If you think about it, the united Romans is already something very like this.
