Counter Mod

Here's a small mod I made to replace the flags on the unit counters with the roundels that the game uses in parts of the ledger. I figured we already have enough rectangles on the map; a few circles add some visual variety. Plus, the roundel for the Confederacy is the famous battle flag, which I think better fits military units anyway.

One side effect that the roundel is also used on decision markers, which I also like.

There are two versions, round and oval. The round version may be a bit crisper but the oval version fits better on the counter (doesn't impinge on the unit stat bars quite so much).

Round version:

Oval version:

The files for both versions are attached zip file. Rename the version of your choice (by removing the _Round or _Oval suffix) and copy into the Civil War II\CW2\Graphics\Factions\Counter_OnMap folder.

They look great, but I don't see a link to download them.

D'oh. Got it, just copy the image. They look great in-game. Thanks!

Added a second version - oval shaped - to the original post.

I like the Oval Mod and have switched over. A bigger battle flag is good!

If I post a save that was made under this mod, others will still be able to open and use it right?

Here is a test save that I made under the Oval-mod. (Unzip to CW2-> Saves. Then go to the in-game load screen, it should appear as a Shiloh Save with the name Testbed Z.) Does it open OK for those without this mod?
