I can't be the only one who sees it as a horrible man-eating teeth monster...can I?

i just realized its supposed to be a dove in a cage.
I never spent any time figuring it out, thought it was a ship with white sails, which I always felt didn't really fit. A dove makes much more sense.

I thought that a ship with white sails was a bit of a strange one. I suggest they make it a dove whose entrails are being ripped out by a hawk but then the hawk gets food poisoning and dies. Would be an improvement i think.

Edit: phone autoincorrect error fixed.

For some reason I've thought it's a jewelry box or something, but a dove makes a lot more sense. Too small to be intelligible, like so many icons in game.

If the icon scares you, what about you actual effect of call for peace? THAT is truly horrifying. Especially, when you have the warscore to enforce a peace heavily in your favor, but no dip-points to get the things you want.

I for one think we have a bigger mystery to solve here

Is it a folded up scarf? A pointing hand sticking out of a backpack? A glove with testicles? More importantly, why?

It's clearly a glove. It might just be tassels, or another glove.

I always thought of a pair of gloves. I can think of cavalry wearing such; doesn't appeal as very "general-ish", but definately military oriented. Also appeals as nobility. I definately have other icons troubling me, but not the dove. It has always been a self-explanatory one to me. I'm more disturbed by the new Benin (?) flag.

I just realized that I basically never looked at any of the icons hard enough to make out what they are.
