Tired of paradox cross ? Help us !

[Cat Lord]

This is not a major change, but on the french forum, we were tired of two of the religious cross: The catholic one (from which the low level transverse bar is much too high), and the Counter-Reform Catholic, which does not ressemble any historic cross at all.

For this last one, we have chosen a spanish cross, the "Galicia" cross, because Counter-Reform was essentially active in
Southern Europe countries.

So all in all, here are our 2 "models":

Catholic:

Counter-Reform Catholic:

And here is the result:

This bitmap must be placed in the Paradox Entertainment\Europa Universalis 2\GFX\Interface folder to be active.

Where you could help:

1 - One of us find the catholic cross little bars still too "square"

2 - I found my CRC cross a bit too dark, but it is very difficult to adjust the lightness

3 - Maybe some of you have bright ideas for another symbol for Shia muslims, and for Buddhism (the two I like the less after the two we already changes).

Cheers,

Cat

What's wrong with the buddhist symbol? The Wheel of Life...

The Wheel of Life, also known as the Wheel of Law, depicts the cyclical nature of life according to Buddhism.

I've long wanted a new Orthodox one. I don't understand that little thingie at the bottom... the crooked bit over there makes the orthodox look like a ruined cross...

Here is a good site with orthodox crosses from the various Byzantine, Greek, Russian, etc. churches: http://www.gallerybyzantium.com/crosses.html

Ok, thanks Philip. The current orthodox one is called St. Andrew... The Orthodox patron Saint...

I would not say so.
All the Russian Orthodox / Slavic Crosses on the link from Phillip has the little 'thingy' at the bottom.

 

[unmerged(7924)]

Yeah, as I said. The Byzantine crosses is without it. However, that thingie is historical... Since St. Andrew is the Orthodox patron saint.

I'm with Mormegil on this one. Even though the cross does indeed look historical, the overall effect is of something ruined or run-down.

I changed the Orthodox Cross. I think this is more correct.

Yeah, this one looks better. Then the cross doesn't look as run-down

 

[Filou]

Yeah!
I like the new orthodox model.
