📋 About This Mod

A simple stratagem icon mod that seeks to add clarity between stratagems while also remaining consistent with the vanilla art style.

A small stratagem icon mod created for my personal use that I decided to share with more people. My goal was to stay true to the vanilla art style while differentiating certain stratagems that appeared too similar and providing more information about a stratagem's purpose.

Inspired in part by SquidARMY7's Bit Better UI mod.

Known issues:

  • []For some reason the FRV's icon and the Emancipator's icon was put in the rank icons sheet. So that this mod doesn't have conflicts with rank icon mods, the FRV will be left off from this mod until AH fixes that (if they ever do). I've decided to bite the bullet and modify the rank icons sheet as well. For those of you who want to use rank icon mods, make sure you put them below this mod in Arsenal's mod order. You'll lose the Emancipator and FRV's icons from this mod, but little I can do about that. As of Machinery of Oppression 6. 2. 2, this will also apply to the Lumberer

    Huzzah! As of Devoid of Liberty 7. 0. 0 they removed the stratagem icons from the rank icons sheet! No more need to worry about this![/]

List of changes:

[]Gave the backpack support weapons a little backpack icon[/]

[]Changed the Arc Thrower's icon to match the other arc weapon icons[/]

[]Edited the Autocannon Turret's weapon icon to be consistent with the Emancipator's weapon icons[/]

[]Edited the HMG Emplacement and AT Emplacement's weapon icons to be more easily differentiable between each other and also more consistent with other HMG icons for the latter[/]

[]Made all the bullet icons consistent between level of armor penetration:

[]Similarly, the autocannon icons have been edited so that the AP4 autocannon (AC support weapon) has 1 stripe, while the AP5 autocannons (Emancipator and AC Turret) have 2 stripes:

[]With the regular Grenade Launcher and Belt-Fed Grenade Launcher now having different AP levels, the grenade icons have had a similar rework, with the AP3 grenade remaining the same while the AP4 grenade gets a 2nd stripe:

[]Made the mine stratagem icons consistent [/]

[]Changed the Grenadier Battlement's icon to be more illustrative of its function and armament[/]

[]Changed the Walking Barrage's icon to show it's a moving 380mm Barrage, and edited the 380mm Barrage to differentiate it from the new icon more[/]

[]Changed the Quasar Cannon's trail so it's easier to differentiate from the Laser Cannon[/]

[]Changed the Guard Dog icons so they're more easily differentiable from the shields[/]

[]Changed the Airburst Rocket Launcher's icon so it's more explodey. The ammo icon was also changed to match the Recoilless Rifle's, as the backpack icon for the ABRL uses the same icon as the RR's[/]

[*]Added 2 more lightning bolts to the Tesla Tower so it's more easily differentiable from the Shi
