:backhand_index_pointing_down: DESCRIBE THE ISSUE IN DETAIL (below). LIMIT TO ONE BUG PER THREAD.
In the technology tree of the Chronicles civs, the icon of the (male) Villager is that of the base game Villager, bearded and bare-chested, rather than the Chronicles Villager, beardless and wearing a chiton.

:play_button: REPRODUCTION STEPS

:backhand_index_pointing_down: List CLEAR and DETAILED STEPS we can take to reproduce the issue ourselves… Be descriptive!

Here’s the steps to reproduce the issue:

  1. Start any game (e.g. Skirmish) and open the technology tree.
  2. Choose a Chronicles civ (e.g. Achaemenids) and scroll to the right until the Villager icon is seen.
  3. The icon is not what the male Villagers of the Chronicles civs use.

:play_button: EXPECTED RESULT

:backhand_index_pointing_down: What was SUPPOSED to happen if the bug you encountered were not present?
The icon in the tech tree should match the icon actually used in the game for the respective civ.
For the Chronicles civs, this is the only icon that doesn’t. Other icons of units sharing the name of their base game counterparts (e.g. Spearman, Skirmisher, Scout Cavalry) are correct.

While there are more units sharing the name of their base game counterparts in the tech tree, their icons are the Chronicles ones, as expected:
