T-rex armour is back.

@マルコ -- Yeah...I get it that they are a very small team (<10 people), but 3+ years after launch and small things like this still are around. The galaxy overlay symbols are still upside down (new game defaults to looking at "galactic north" but all the overlay symbols are aligned with "galactic south"). Also a simple/silly bug. Also waiting for that fix :D

I see... considering also the many bugged achievments still not unlocking in DW1 and the fact they said they would check it in an 11 years old post, I get a lot of "tech support" vibes from this team - meaning they reassure you with good words, but it's all superficial sugar, because then just proceed with the most money effective plan.
Which doesn't necessarily include giving the player the best possible game they can...
Really disappointed.

Anyway, you did a great job, it's a shame they haven't supported you so far :(

@ZumZoom -- This would replace the need for my troop symbols mod. The current game uses the same image for each troop type across all races (one infantry symbol, one armor symbol, etc). So my other mod just "refreshes" those symbols. This mod, however, changes the game files so that each race uses a new graphic. Having both doesn't hurt anything, just load this one last to keep this mod's changes.

@マルコ -- I'm afraid there's nothing I can do about that. I've told the DW2 team about that years ago. They always say "we'll consider changing it in the future". The symbols are coded to all face the same direction. When we use the vanilla symbols (symmetrical) it's not noticeable, but they also only face one way.

All my troop are pointing their guns to my population, looks like an insurrection...

Looks great. Thank for all the work you put into this.

I'm a little confused about the old mod (Refreshed Troop Symbols) - does this one work alongside it, or do they do the same thing so I need to choose one?

@Rebelkid -- Thanks, friend! It's one of those head-scratcher things with DW2: they already had this in DW1 :D

Happy to try and keep the old approach going.

I do think it adds a lot of racial distinction.
