New Civ Icon Idea

Making UI images would be useful too,mainly for modding projects.

@seicing would it be possible to make a template based on the Portuguese icon?

Maybe I’m putting too much weight into my personal interests but I really hope if they ever really get added to the game they have their written language represented somehow.

Thank you

I’ll make a psd of it as soon as I can

Made a psd based on the Portuguese templates that Seicing made, and took the chance to make a few new icons

Wari redo (maybe I should have stretched it and/or added the borders from the original shield)

Maybe I should have done a better job at erasing the background in those.

Also here are all the PSD templates I’ve already made:

Maybe I should make a topic just for them.

Oh, the link got censored. That’s never not fun. :roll_eyes:

The Timurid one really doesn’t do so well, having the shield background as straight black makes it feel much less realistic.

Yeah, you have a point. There’s also the fact you can’t see the texture of the template.

The Vlachs(Romanians) ones are really just Wallachia.

For something that would embed all 3 countries where the Romanians were the majority of the population (basically, an umbrella civ for the Romanians) I suggest Michael the Brave’s banner.


Because he was the one that briefly united all 3 Romanian principalities in 1600.

I think that might be too detailed for an AoE2 icon.

Also, I did a redo of the Timurid icon I made

Made an Icon from the Gaja##pati Empire Flag for the Odias. Probably not as good as the others, but I made this for Odias Civ Icon as it lacked one. (## for not censor)

Also made one for the Kannadigas using Rashtrakutas Flag I found on google.

As much as I absolutely love the coa of Vlad Dracula I have to mention that considering the crown of Wallachia kept getting ping-ponged between the Danesti, Draculesti and later Craiovesti the best option is to just keep it simple with the black eagle on blue background.

I love the designs here, I took the liberty to took the Tarascans toponym for my Profile Picture.
For Mississippian I recommend watching this video. There are a lot of potential good designs for them. (Plus showing that the Eagle Warrior would not be out of place for them)

Also I seems to miss the South East Asian civilization the Mon

I found a YouTube channel recently which features extensively among other cultures Mississippians:

I’m more of a book guy personally but for those who prefer watching Videos, this seems to be a neat channel which looks at Precolumbian cultures.

They also cover other North American cultures like the Hohokam and Dorset cultures:

One of the advantages of this YouTube channel is that it also cites its sources. Most history videos on YouTube don’t do that.

Hey nice work on these? Would you mind if I used these icons for my civ concepts? I’ll give due credit of course!

The Raven with the cross, sun and moon are actually pretty cool symbols.

What program do you use to make these? I want to make emblems of this quality!
