1. I noticed that in latest version the AI tends to place mortars forward.
2. Icons of undetected units destroyed by indirect fire don't show up in AAR.
3. Problems with adding graphics to mod. IMO all mods graphics should be in the databases/modname/graphics/ folder.
4. It should be possible to have resources.xml file that overrides some resources for the mod so that it would be possible to add custom map graphics or tracers or default units. If infantry is in different scale/style than default, it becomes all messed up without custom graphics.

I don't know what's the previous build you tried, but I don't recall any recent engine changes regarding this...

I remember this, but I don't remember the exact reason for why it was implemented like that.

Yes, I'm quite sure that in the future it will be possible to replace terrain graphics in Workshop mods, however I think it's quite awkward if a terrain graphics mod should include the database files (and scenarios). This needs some more thought.

Saw it for the first time in the recent beta and now again in the current Steam version.

Could be something from the hidden units in AAR mode?

Any chances all unit graphics (unidentified units) could be moved to resources_custom.xml for now?
