    Everything is already setup for each engine to get its own pic. e.g. The image of the bio engine looks like a bio engine instead of the same as all other engines.

    Later today I'll make a simple patch file that makes each engine be the color of it's research tree, just to show how easy it is. --But what I thought would really be cool is if someone, who feels confident in their photoshoping/gimping abilities, would try their hand at making a true engine image set.

    If you don't know how to get your images to work with the Empires mod, that's cool. I can get that working, or someone else who knows how to do it.

    Here are the 3 generic versions. The 'Large' version is un-used currently.

    i tried, and although i have lots of ideas of how it SHOULD look my photoshopping/fireworksing skills limit themselves to being able to resize pictures and give red eyes normal colors :s

    As promised I made an Engine Icon set where I simply tinted all each icon to mach its research tree.

    http://bluesolutions.org/empires_engine_icons.7z

    To install simply extract into your "C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\SourceMods\" directory (or equivalent) and let it over-write as needed.

    P.S. *.7z is the sexy open-source version of *.zip and *.rar. If your decompression tool doesn't support it, shame on you. --> http://www.7-zip.org/

    Can you also post some images of the engine icons?

    And what about the armor icons? Some people (including me) already made some icons.
