Horses, sheep and smiley faces!

Crown of Glory: Europe in the Age of Napoleon, the player controls one of the crowned potentates of Europe in the Napoleonic Era, wielding authority over his nation's military strategy, economic development, diplomatic relations, and social organization. It is a very thorough simulation of the entire Napoleonic Era - spanning from 1799 to 1820, from the dockyards in Lisbon to the frozen wastes of Holy Mother Russia.

Horses, sheep and smiley faces!

Post by HobbesACW »

These silly icons detract from the flavour of the game for me. I have substituted another icon for HorseIcon.pcx
But I don't have paint shop so I can't find the other daft icons - anyone know what they are called?
Anyone planning to mod these sort of icons? Please :)

Cheers, Chris

Seems I'm the only person that hates the little sheep! Nobody else thinks these type
of child like graphics detract from the games ambiance?

I don't mind the icons at all. Maybe others do but I don't find them childish - just a little crude. However, I think they fit into the overall game graphics well enough.

When I first saw them they struck me as a bit chessy; but they don't really concern me.

In case anyone wants to change them - I downloaded the trial version of paintbox pro 9 and amended files GoodSum.pcx, GoodIcons_24.pcx, Icon36.pcx and HorseIcon.pcx

Now I'm happy and can get on with enjoying the game :)

Lol. I'm afraid my artistic skills are not up to much. I just removed the sheeps head, legs and tail to make it look like a fleece, removed the 'face' from the smiley face leaving just the coloured sphere and turned the horse into an H.

(Happy to email them though if anyone is as weird about this stuff as me :)

You are really going to hate it when you see the rail-gun and robot icons.
