Hello , for some reasons I started to work on an enlarged portion of the Media , I wanted to make a more political map this time and I was working on making some map icons ... Somehow though they do not look that "great" on map , despite I like them a lot singularly... Perhaps couse I am yet undecided between the use of a classical neutral color map as background for political and a more colorfull geographic one ...

Here are the Icons I was working on :

In order from left right top bottom...

Keep
Fortress
Barbarian village
CIty
Capital
Village
Temple Complex
Shrine
Obelisk
Primitive Shrine
Nomad Camp
Ship
Caravan
Horses
Incense
Raiders
Oasis
Wine
Purpure
Oil
Iron
Salt
Cloths
Wood
Marble
Smokable
Art
Wheat
Center of Knowledge
Cattle
Herders
Goats

The icons are reduced and so have lesser definition in the image.

My main problem is on how can I do to make the Icons for :

Gold
Silver
Brass/Copper
Slaves
Weapons
Chariots
Mercenaries

And what else could be sugested as resources?

Here is the Sample of what I was trying ... Left plain map on wich I would overlay borders and color eventually the inside .. center the physical version instead, right a first attempt of borders and roads ...

On that I have to decide what kind of icons to overlay , if the round ones, if just the shapes without the round background ( but this makes them a little harder to see but blend better ) or something else?
