We've got some options already ready for those ghastly looking "goverment resource/precursor" icons that you've been seeing. Some are already done (not in game now though), but I was wondering if anyone had a divine revelation about what would work perfectly there for all factions.

If someone had a really terrific idea about how to represent a "homeland" "resource" and then all the ideas that go into the type2 government ("colonization" may be most appropriate term, but doesn't fit exactly for all), then there's still some latitude about what we might go with.

I'll mention that one possibility is a sheath of grain for the homeland resource icon (a bit abstract, but easily noticeable) and a spear for the type2 resource icon. It's also possible to just leave them alpha'd out and invisible (though the space would still be there).

So, how about it? Any absolutely wonderful ideas that would work well with our other icons and still convey these thoughts in a tiny icon ?
