Minimap Hero icon mod

[Seleucids]

This simple mod gives all heroes a star icon on the minimap, so that you will never loose track of your hero! It also has a positive side effect of showing if your farms are getting raided by an enemy hero.

There is currently no distinction between your own hero and enemy hero in terms of icon and colour. All visible heroes are shown as a yellow star.

@SeleucidsWorks great! Thank you very much - extremely useful!

Idk if you know about it, but triple clicking the hero portrait on the top left will select the hero and take your screen to it. Usually I do a decent job keeping track of my hero and if I notice the portrait blinking when I don't expect it I go and correct my mistake. That being said this is still an amazing mod, a very good quality of life feature.

DE has player colored hero icons IIRC.

An update: I've added colour to the hero icon, so now you know whose hero it is. Furthermore, I enlarged the minimap and added icons for cavalry units as well.

Suggestions about icon schemes, colours and sizes are welcome. Right now I have not many ideas so I just take icons from chess

Could we have a big minimap? Like in Nani's mods.

There's an old patch for it: https://code.wildfiregames.com/D4246
