[Submod] Better Building Icons

[Quintillius]

Introduction

This mod changes all vanilla DEI building icons to realistic ones. This is a submod for DEI only.
Roman, Carthaginian, Egyptian, Eastern, Greek and Barbarian building icons are all replaced.

The mod uses a combination of my own work and icons from Benjin - ATTILA-Style Building Icons. I have permission to use part of his work.

Installation
Please install the DEI mod files and place this submod at top. This submod should be savegame compatible as it only changes some UI design. Make sure there is no other mod loaded that changes the building icons.


If you like the submod, please rate it.

Thanks for doing it (even if I personally prefer vanilla style)

[Dresden]

Thanks for posting this!

[Dumanthis]

Tempting! Might have to use this from now on, really cool

[LEXI2016]

I like these very much, even though Benjin's do clash with them.

[Quintillius]

Thanks. Indeed Benjin's icons are easily recognisable. But I find this doesn't do any harm. I can remove the little icons for each bonus, but that's gonna take an awful lot of work. Might do that in future.

Thanks for sharing! Love how accurate the architecture and other details are, should contribute a lot to immersion

[Basilius]

Great mod. I hope in the future you can create images for some of the remaining buildings in the game.

[Quintillius]

Thank you! What are those remaining buildings you say? All buildings should be done. Maybe you use a older launcher?

[Basilius]

I've only tried Athens. There was no icon for the Piraeus and Capital Building alternatives (economic and military). I also didn't see icons for the military academy (red) and warhorse building (yellow).

I can provide screen-shots if it's helpful.

[Quintillius]

I do have icons for the Pireaus and capital building alternatives. Are you sure you have everything updated to the last version, set the submod at #1 and using the latest launcher?

[Basilius]

First in the load order worked. Thank you!

[Aureliae]

A nice mod; I think I'll start using it since the icons generally complement the style of the DeI unit cards, as opposed to the default building icons that are more akin to the vanilla unit card art style. From the pictures I see, it looks like the only thing really standing out about Benjin's images are the little icons, but those aren't too bad (most of those effects are easy enough to keep track of using the rest of the UI anyway...).

Would anyone be able to upload a version of the file through somewhere other than Steam? I have to consolidate many of the mods/submods I use into a single file because of the limit to the amount of mods in the older CA mod manager, and that's so much easier to do with the file free from the mod manager's automatic handling of certain things (directory placement, load order, etc, etc).

[Quintillius]

Thank you. Yeah I need to remove the little icons. That will cost time. It's not gamebreaking, so just ignore them for now.
Here's a direct download.

@Basilius
Glad it works for you now. Have fun!

[Quintillius]

Updated for 1.2.8!

[Jake Armitage]

nice
would you be interested into making some DeI 2d work here and there?
we aren't planning anything serious but sometimes happens that updates need some 2d basic stuff
I (or someone else) usually do them but knowing other guys could help would be nice
let me know thx

[Quintillius]

Thnx man.
Sure, just tell me what you want.

[LEXI2016]

Updated for 1.2.8!

Thanks Quintillius love your icons from day 1, always use them. It didn't take long to become accustomed to them at all. Great job. (Benjin included of course).

[LEXI2016]

Just wondering if this will be updated for 1.3 version

[Quintillius]

Updated to the last version of DEI
