This is a challenge to Binger Jarl. I know you can do it!

I am really really really tired of the naval equipment manufactory icon. It looks like a loaf of bread, a piece of feces, and other assorted NON-NAVAL items; but nothing at all immediately recognizable to me; much less associated with Naval Equipment.

Is there any way you could redesign this graphic? I know there is a "button" graphic for it; I assume that is the icon when you are on the city screen choosing to build it. I also know there is a "unit" graphic for it; I assume that is the completed image on top of a province.

I dont care so much about the button graphic, though it would be nice. But if it is a problem (multiple images + brightness levels and so on) then I would easily settle for just a new unit graphic.

This is the only manufactory image I think looks terrible. I absolutely adore the Refinery and F.A.A. I just dont know what they were thinking here. Do you know of a possible replacement for this? A ship icon of some kind or maybe some kind of sailing tool?

Save me Binger Jarl!

Yeah it looks like a loaf of bread, never thought of that. :)

Since the pic is so small I think that a anchor or something simple will look best, I'll see if I can save you. ;)
 
I "made" these two, look in the Wales province.

1. Tilted anchor with rope, anchor copied from CK

2. Harbour, copied from EU2, not very detaild when scaled down...

Which one do you prefer? :)
 
I like the first one because it's not used in any other form in EU2 (well, the anchor is, but the other one is just a shrunken shipyard). And I like the simple style it has, just like the Weapons manufactory.

Yeah, the anchor works better scaled down, the shipyard is a bit to detailed...
 
Here's the anchor version. :)

Oh could someone please send me the wine manu, I deleted it by mistake... :eek:o
 
2 more thoughts.

1. Looking at that conscription center in Svealand in your screenie made me think; maybe we can improve that? I really like the CC icon at the city level; the cool looking tent. Could you possibly shrink that down into a provincial icon?

2. I finally got your pause button upgrade to work (I had been putting it in the wrong folder) and it got me thinking.... To the left of the pause button is the manpower icon; which is kinda hard to make out and kind of lame; do you have any ideas about maybe making it easier to see what that icon is (Brightness? Contrast?) or perhaps a different icon altogether with better looking soldiers?

Just some thoughts, they are not as offensive problems to me as the naval equipment factory had become.

Why are you so good with graphics? :p
 
I like it. However, can you shrink the actual concription center building? i.e. the image on the right in GFX\Interface\PIW\Buildings\barracks.bmp? It looks cooler, imho. I would love to see my country with tons of those everywhere :D
