All civ icons are blank -- is this out of date or an issue on my end?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?!

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.

Lightsentinel 30 Jul, 2022 @ 4:20am 
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.
