A small mod that replaces the icons displayed when building a town.
Who might like it:
- Beginners
- People who don't play the game very often
- Those who are annoyed by the little houses
Who might not like it:
- People who are used to the standard color scheme
There used to be a similar mod on the all4heroes website that I really liked, but it disappeared along with the website. Unfortunately, I don't remember the name or the author.
Now I've found some time to recreate its idea with a few improvements.
I don't play Heroes very often, so I always get confused with the icons at the beginning. Besides, I don't like the little houses for a number of reasons. Their colors are very different from the color of the hammers, the angles of the hammers and houses don't match, and their size is also larger.
I worked with the color of the hammers, adding a little volume to them. The house was replaced with a castle icon, which has the same angle, color, and size (1 pixel higher) as the hammers. The castle icon on the minimap was used as the basis for the castle. The image was almost completely redrawn, with some proportions changed and details added.
I really wanted to keep the original color logic, but I couldn't.
Now the logic is as follows:
Green hammer - construction is possible.
Red hammer - not enough resources for construction.
Gold hammer - construction is completed this turn.
Gold castle - town construction is completed.
Installation: Unzip the archive. Place the *.pak file in the data folder.
P.S. If you want to rework it and/or use it in your mod, I don't mind. With attribution and on the condition that the project is free and not distributed with a pirated copy of the game.
