Recent Merger Icon Issues

[edza101]

So the recent merger with parts of CK2+ or the Islamic Improvement Mod (not sure which, or both), brought around a series of new religions and events etc. into HIP. This is an amazing step forward in an area that lacked a lot of flavor and I'm enjoying it loads so far.

Alas, I feel that there are a few icon inconsistencies between some of the new Islamic religions and some of the original HIP versions, in particular the icons for the Isma'ili and the Qarmati.

All the other, new imported religions use the correct icons number 4 and 9 for shia-esque religions, however Ismai'ili and Qarmati used the old icons, number 72 and 73, which jar with the other shia-esque religions.

Its a simple fix, but I wondered if this was by design? Or forgotten?

My Edit of Ismai'li (The old shia icon):

HIPs version of Ismai'li:

There has been no "merger."

What exactly is the problem? All you've demonstrated is that things have changed, it seems? Or do you not like the Isma'ili-- which is NOT Shiite-- religion icon? And what other such inconsistencies are there, as you say?

Those are brand new icons.

I just guess my problem was that the Ismai'ili and Shiite icons look like different artistic interpretations of the exactly same religious iconography, am I wrong on this?

EDIT: More the fact that the Isma'ili icon comes up much larger than the other religious icons in the game, not that the differentiation between Ismai'ili and Shiite isn't useful and historical

You're not wrong. It's designed as a variant on the Shiite icon, used by Isma'ili when it stops being a heresy of Shiite and becomes its own separate faith.

If you have a more appropriate icon to suggest, then great. If your suggestion is that it use the Shiite icon itself, then no.

I'm actually interested in the reason it appears larger than the current Shiite (and other) religious icons currently in the mod, along with the new religious icons, such as for Maronite Christianity.

I know its a small gripe, but is this change in size intended?

 

[edza101]

Wow. That is a completely separate issue.

And it's already been reported, and is fixed in the next HIP update.

Oh thanks, sorry for being a bit unclear!

Meant to re-write my response, so I deleted it -- and then you already responded.

Ignore this.
