fatherbushido Posted January 18, 2020 Report Share Posted January 18, 2020 I looked for an icon for Ptolemy IV and Ptolemy I and I didn't find any. for example in 0AD alpha 23 beta, here is the placeholder: units/ptol_hero_ptolemy_IV.xml:11: <Icon>units/mace_hero_philip.png</Icon units/ptol_hero_ptolemy_I.xml:11: <Icon>units/hele_hero_alexander.png</Icon> For Ptolemy I, it's especially annoying because Alexander has a really singular portrait icon.

Stan` Posted January 19, 2020 Report Share Posted January 19, 2020 Thanks for the report I'll see what can be done. For Ptolemy 4 I wonder if he should have an egyptian coif. http://www.touregypt.net/featurestories/ptolemy4.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nescio Posted January 19, 2020 Report Share Posted January 19, 2020 Why not set a generic icon in `template_unit_hero.xml` and remove the icons from all hero templates that use another hero's icon, so it's clearer which don't have a unique icon yet?

For mods now I use plqceholders like those. But it'd be nice to have a special icon. Maybe a crown? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lion.Kanzen Posted February 1, 2020 Report Share Posted February 1, 2020 you can't make all the portraits at once, without finishing the units of the heroes, they still lack their equipment and their armor. (3d and 2d). Most of the heroes in the game, especially the Hellenistic ones, are place holders of many others of Alexander the Great, others of Hannibal and so on.

Nescio Posted February 1, 2020 Report Share Posted February 1, 2020 Heroes that currently lack an unique icon: brit_hero_cunobelin.xml iber_hero_indibil_infantry.xml mace_hero_philip_pike.xml ptol_hero_ptolemy_I.xml ptol_hero_ptolemy_IV.xml (That doesn't mean the others are perfect. Most of them are actor-based and ideally ought to be replaced with proper portraits.) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I screenshot their actors: Spoiler Perhaps someone could properly crop and resize them so these five heroes have at least some icon of their own?

AeternaTristitia Posted February 9, 2020 Report Share Posted February 9, 2020 I think It would be best to draw their portaits similar to their models ingame. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
