All civ icons are blank -- is this out of date or an issue on my end? Any tips to fix?

Why was the Brazil icon replaced with the Civ5 one? At least the Civ6 one is recognizably Brazilian.

Why'd you change the Canada icon?!

obsolete !

oh, btw, can I use this AND the color mod together? or do they not stack,

@lightsentinel and here is me knowing it from Total War xD

As a final note, the three lions heraldry is used to represent England in both football and cricket, hence why it is so well known by the public.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Royal_coat_of_arms_of_the_United_Kingdom#/media/File:Royal_Arms_of_England.svg

I'd like to suggest changing the icon for England. Mostly because of the aesthetics, the default icon is a rendition of St Edward the Confessor's Crown - it is a legitimate symbol but not well known compared to the three lions coat of arms or the St George's cross flag, which have near universal recognition in England. The crown icon is also somewhat tacky and reliant on stereotypes about England, in the same way as the bull icon didn't appropriately represent Spain.

I'd recommend the English element of the Royal coat of arms, deliberately excluding the French, Irish, Scottish and Hanoverian elements included in later centuries as they are represented in-game by other civ's. The French/Hanoverian elements would be removed in the early 19th century anyway(due to the 1800 Act of Union for the former, and the separation of Hanover from the UK at Queen Victoria's ascension in 1837 respectively).

Yeah, I found that happening on my end too, particularly when switching between full and lite versions in-game - the game just forgets the modded icon atlas exists, and tries to draw the icons from the default one, but using modded information. Restarting the game when only one version of the mod is active fixes that.

Nevermind im an idiot, i had the Lite and other on active at the same time.

Idk if this problem is an easy fix but all the country icons are bugged after downloading this mod, either off centered in all 4 corners or they're just blank. Any reason this could be happening?

why no before and after?

can you add a screenshot that "before - after" for icons which includes most changes?
I ask it for an eye candy purposes.
Thanks

Debating a certain artistic choice and presenting an alternative for consideration is a natural thing to do, and I've always welcomed feedback (some icons got tweaked, changed or reverted over the years thanks to it).

It's the violent demands and name-calling that disqualify such requests outright.

@Nizoulou Thank you for speaking up. You're exactly right, these mods are free and we shouldn't be whining if we dislike a particular artistic choice.

@Nizoulou be stalker is a crime.....

@Malata Aren't you worried about how cancer you are on every mod page ? Let modders work as they wish and respect their artistic choices plz

@Malata,
Star symbol is a little bit ambigous symbol, can be used for many civilisations (Chinese, Russians, even for Americans). As other civs don't use current coat-of-arms as their icons (remember that civs =/= nations or countries).

Turtle is though; a common symbol in Vietnamese myths;
'The Vietnamese civilization's symbol is the Kim Quy Turtle, a mythological creature featured in two popular Vietnamese legends: An Dương Vương and the magic crossbow, and Lê Lợi's mythical sword and his victory over Ming invasions.'

and dont censor my comment!!!

That makes sense :)

No. Icons in Lite aren't "updated" so to speak - they are just meant to be simpler, more in line with vanilla. Plus I like having options and a noticeable difference between both versions.

Any chance you'll be transferring your updated Spain and/or Auckland, etc. icons back over from BCI Lite?

i prefer the portuguese symbol of the game than the one changed here, the brazilian one was ugly in the game you made it lot better.

is there a way i can view all the icons in the game files seperately?

anyways this mod is good

I will never understand why they used the bull icon for spain when it should be the coat of arms

@rui.raen Happy to hear you like it, thank you! :)

Great Portuguese ajusted icon, many thanks team!

@p0kiehl what the hell you say!

New Vietnam icon looks great! What a wonderful touch.

@janboruta the symbol in game of vietnam looks a sh..t!!! OMG! change in official vietnam star symbol!
that turtle looks so cringe and idiot

Thanks! Had quite some fun fiddling with it and making it work :) Happy how it turned out.

That Portuguese shield is amazing!

Update 28-03-2021:
- new icons for Vietnam and Portugal
- slightly adjusted Mogadishu

Turtle and the emperor's sword, very nice!

Take your time :) The mod is great and as I said I don't think the Vietnam icon needs a change, the sword on the back would be a nice touch, but it isn't necessary at all :)

Hehe ;) It was a good call to be honest. Made me reconsider the mod's goals a bit, and ultimately make BCI Lite (which now I prefer to use).

Not sure when I'll update BCI as I've been really busy lately - but since I don't intend to change Vietnam's icon too much cause I like the vanilla turtle, there's not much anticipate anyway. :)

Agreed, the sword on the back would be a nice touch.
And yes, I'm aware of that criticism, I was one of them back then when you changed the colombia icon^^

I'm only considering adding the sword to the turtle's back to make the icon a tiny bit more detailed. Otherwise I think that exchanging a pretty distinct icon of a turtle into yet another bird would be robbing the icon roster of something unique.

There's been criticism of too many eagle icons in BCI anyway. Ditto about a potential dragon icon, when there's already the Chinese one.

I personally also like the Vietnam Icon, I don't think a change is necessary.

Yes, you can google it: "Chim Lac". For Vietnam.

i suggest for vietnam the vietcong star or if don't suit it, the dragon

Another option for Vietnam could be the Lac Dragon or the Lac Bird they're both major figures in Vietnamese folklore.

Gedemon's icon - a Vietnamese Folding Fan may be a good choice.

Yes, I know that turtle, Emperor Lê Lợi's legend. Vietnam used Dragon and Lotus in the history, but those are too close to China and India, I suppose Firaxis did know them. :)

We'll see. I like the turtle icon and its thematic connection to a legend about Le Loi. Maybe it could be improved upon, but too early to say.

I hope there will be a better icon for Vietnam.

Finally a better, more fitting dutch icon

Could you help with City states as well
