Icons in detailed battles

<t> Since I prefer playing detailed battles with icons instead of the little men running around and so forth, I've discovered some issues. <br/>
First, as far as I've been able to see, there's no way to see divisions and organization of units when having them as icons. Also, when supply wagons are ...

Super-cannons be gone!

<r> Bear with me, this might be a long post, but I hope you will find it interesting.<br/>
