## Icon considerations
ALL icons must be legally acceptable, meaning they either come from from open sources or you act according to their licence (for Creative Commons, for instance, you have to specify the source and the creator).
Icons directly from the base game belong to Firaxis, so I'm not sure we're legally allowed to use them - please use other sources!
One source I use constantly is [The Noun Project](https://thenounproject.com) - everything there is Creative Commons or open, so they can all be used!
Credits for icons should go in the [Credits](Credits.md) page
