📋 About This Mod
EXPLANATION
Crown Icon: The settlement has the potential to spawn recruitable noble troops. It doesn't necessarily mean noble troops are currently available.
Blue Exclamation Point Icon: At least one quest is available at this settlement.
Bracelet: A tournament is available at this settlement.

You can disable any icons that you don't want in the settings.json file at "SettlementIcons/ModuleData/settings.json"
If you would prefer to see these icons only over settlements nearby, set the "IsRangeRestricted" property in settings.json to true. That will restrict the icons to settlements that are close enough to be "inspected" which is the same range at which you see the parties within it and notifications.
If you want to see icons that indicate the type of resource that a village produces, set "IsResourceIconsEnabled" to true in settings.json. There aren't appropriate icons for all of these, so I had to improvise a bit.
INSTALLATION
Right click the archive, select properties, check the "Unblock" box, and then click "OK. Extract the "SettlementIcons" directory from the archive, and then move it into your "Mount & Blade II Bannerlord\Modules\" directory.
If you don't unblock the archive before extracting, you must unblock the dlls after you install.
