Cool idea. I like the icons produced so far too.

Oooh. I like that. But i think it could do with something on the sides. Fins liek on a naga's head would look cool. Or maybe horns. Or ears. Something to protect the Drake's horns/ears.

erm, they are within 72*72; but imo its better to be larger than human-sized unit sprites, because otherwise they might be mistaken for mecha units or somethingKestenvarn wrote:This is a neat idea, and the faction-specific flags sound even more interesting.
The icons seem a little too large for the lines they fit on, though - any thoughts on shrinking them to the same size as units?
They are nice but maybe adding two crossed hammer would help to identify the Knalgan faction.
For the Drakes, maybe add some kind of flame in the background ?
For the Loyalists, it could be simply the Wesnoth icon (that shield with the two swords).
For the Rebels, some kind of bow and some foliage maybe ?

The drake one works well, but the knalgan one doesn't.

Don't forget Random! Random faction would also need another image if all factions are going to have crown-style images. Random leader could keep the original image.
I agree that the hammer in the background doesn't look good for the Knalgans. I also don't like the top on that crown compared to the other crowns, but otherwise I like it.
The drake helmet looks great, but does the shape fit a drake head? Looks more like a mask.
I'm not too sure about the Loyalist crown, something about it doesn't look quite right but I can't figure out what. It's not crown-ish enough, I guess. Maybe jewels? Think generic media stereotype of medieval helmets.

Is this better for the Knalgan one?

I'd prefer it with no hammers at all to hammers which are visible through the eye-holes.
