Description:
Why another "building icons" mod?

These updated icons add more detailed information to the icons. Building icon backgrounds now accurately represent the income type that they provide. Icons now show some of the bonuses they provide and how they affect public order.

City building and management is easier and more intuitive. No need to rely on remembering stats from tooltips or using complex building planners. The basic information you need is right there.

Traits and Skills icons are colored based on what they are.

Uses vanilla Emperor Edition Icons

Icon colors have been enhanced so they do not look "washed out"

Background colors have been changed to match the building income type

  • brown = provides local or subsistence income
  • yellow = provides cultural income
  • blue = provides maritime income
  • green = provides agricultural income
  • grey = provides industrial income
  • red = provides military units
  • note: some buildings provide multiple types and have a "split color" background.

Left side of building icons show arrows for the buildings bonus types

  • white = bonus to all income
  • yellow = bonus to cultural income
  • blue = bonus to maritime income
  • brown = bonus to local income
  • green = bonus to agricultural income
  • grey = bonus to industrial income
  • red = bonus/buff to military
  • yellow wheel icon = provides research bonus

Right side of building icons show a green or red mask if they affect public order

Skill icons now match the color of the stat they are associated with.

  • yellow = authority
  • red = zeal
  • purple = cunning

Skill icons have a star on them if they are from the branch that is the characters main attribute

  • authority = diplomats
  • zeal = champions
  • cunning = spies

Skill icons now have a roman numeral that represents what level in the branch they are.

Trait icons are now colored based on the type of trait

  • red = bad
  • green = good
  • grey = mad

BONUS – Selected unit background is now brighter so it is easier to tell which ones you have selected. This is now a seperate mod. Brighter Active Unit Color

I do not have the time to test all buildings using all factions. I have done my best to ensure the information is correct based on the encyclopedia and data files. If you find any inconsistencies or errors please let me know which faction and which building and what the issue is, a screenshot would be helpful. Thanks.
