Yeah i see what u mean and it's not possible in my opinion. I mean we could shrink the existing coins icon(of M2TW) and attach the cross with it but then even the Islamic factions will show that.
No way to place in between a new one.

It might be possible if you could find out which file tells the game to place the objects in that line. I checked in the mtw2.lnt file, in the menu folder, but didn't see anything there.

Well actually i know which files have the info on it. It's the .sd files which can be edited by .xml files in the UI folder but that thing is like a Pandora's box very messy.

The files from RTW are a .rsd type, what would I use to look at them. If I can find the entry in there, we might know how to add the code into M2TW strategy.sd. I believe this is the file that it would be inserted into.

Well .sd files are rendered by .xml files in M2TW but i have no idea about RTW. All the logos are stored in .tga type and it's info on .sd files.

Look through RTW's tools and tutorials for a convertor. Too many mods made their own not to have one.

The city symbols are in the top right of stratpage_02.tga (and the christian cross is still there).

these are the names for the symbols as per the SD file:

Now you could try to figure out how they are being placed there by the mt2w.lnt
Which does not solve the matter how they are calculated.

Gigantus i thought m2tw.int file only deals with the graphical stuff in the game menu ans it's sub-menu) and the stuff related to UI folder is handled only by .sd and it's .xml files.

Check the case of the faction symbols in the faction screen:
The SD files determine where the graphic element scan be found.
The mt2w.LNT file says where they will be put.
