    Default The little message icons in the bottom left of the campaign map...What are they?

    I'm referring to the Faction Announcements, The Year in History, Faction Destroyed, and other icons. To this day I have no idea what these icons represent. Halp!

    Cool store, bro! I want some ham.
    No ham, pepsi.
    They make deli slices of frozen pepsi now? Awesome!
    You also need to purchase a small freezer for storage of your pepsi.
    It runs on batteries. You'll need a few.
    Uhh, I guess I won't have pepsi then. Do you have change for a twenty?

    lol nono, that's not what I meant; I mean the "black and white" pictures on the icons. What are they pictures of?

    Doesn't black and white guys mean you already clicked on them?

    I'd suggest posting a screenshot to better explain what you mean.

    He is asking what the pictures depict; what is on them.

    I put quotation marks around "black and white" because they weren't actually black and white, but black and...yellow?
    But yes, Mac's got it right. I'd like to know what the pictures depict.

    It would help if you showed a pic of precisely which icons are causing you trouble understanding them.

    So, you want to know exactly what the pictures in those icons are? The top one looks like an assembly, and the bottom one looks like a person handing over a scroll. No clue about the middle icon.

    Isn't the one in the middle an architecht or magistrate bowing over some scrolls? Atleast it looks like that in my opinion..

    For the picture in he middle, I can't seem to see the magistrate nor the scrolls.
    For the picture on the bottom, I can see the scroll, but what are those white blobs?

    I think it looks like osmeone holding a candle stick whilst vometting on a table.

    so resume : it's the architect leaning over his scrolls while vomiting (probably dur to too many hours of work in a row while eating bad army food...)
