Mod Description & Features:
I think CA missed an opportunity to add some flavor to the building icons. In vanilla, every building upgrade chain displays the same art; only the roman numeral changes when you upgrade the building, not the icon art. For example, Karaz a Karak is the Dwarf capital city, yet the gates and walls in its icon art are less imposing than the art used in the Dwarf minor cities. No longer!
This mod features:
- Enhanced most of the vanilla building icons to reflect their actual in-game purpose (i.e. what units/benefits they unlock).
- Added flavor to the vanilla icons by giving the appearance that the building quality improves as the player upgrades his buildings.
- Original hand drawn art (by me).
- Completed all of the above while maintaining an appearance as close to the vanilla game as possible.

FAQ:
1. Is this mod compatible with <insert mod>?
Most likely yes. This mod should be compatible with every mod, except mods that also modify building icons.
2. I've subscribed to this file, but the icons haven't changed. Why?
You've probably stumbled upon a mod conflict, which means you're using two (or more) mods that are changing the buildings variants table. Whichever mod comes first alphabetically will have priority. Try to disable your other mods until you find the culprit, then contact that mod's author.
I cannot do anything about other mods that conflict with this mod.
3. Is this mod save-game compatible?
Yes.
4. Will you add icons for DLC races/factions?
Yes, I plan to mod ALL of the icons for present and future (DLC) races/factions.
5. May I use this mod in my mod?
No. I have changed my position on this because it seems to be causing a lot of compatibility issues. If other mod authors include my files and don't update their mods when I publish my own updates, then subscibers who use both THIS file and the other mod will not get the latest files. It's a compatibility nightmare, so please do not include my files in your mods if you plan to share your mod on the Steam Workshop.
6. How come <insert building chain> isn't changed? Is this right?
I modified most military/city/support icons, but not everything. Check the preview images at the top of this post to see exactly which building icons were changed.
7. Can you do me a favor and <insert unrelated mod request>?
Thanks for your consideration. Unfortunately I'm not taking requests for other mods.
