[Suggestion] Icon for unit types

[Nathan90]

Today someone in game suggested adding a way for people to tell the troops type/class of players in their team,i thought this was a good idea so i decided to put the idea in the forums for them.

The idea being,next to peoples names in the player/score list there should be a little Icon telling you what class the person is.
It could go something like this

Khergits:
Horse+Bow icon=Horse Archer
Horse+Lance icon=Lancer

Swadians:
Crossbow=Crossbowmen
Sword+horse=Knight
Sword (+boot maybe?)=Infantry

Vaegirs:
Bow=Archer
Horse+Lance=horseman
Spear=Spearman

Nords:
Bow=Archer
Axe=Veteran
Horse+axe=Cavalry

Rhodoks:
Crossbow=Crossbowman
Spear/glaive=Sargent
Horse+spear=Cavalry

Or something similer to that anyway.Hope something like this is added,would allow people to have a better idea as to what is needed.

Meh, I think it would only add to clutter. Also, it would reduce the amount of communication needed to win. This sort of system automates a process that should be handled via the chat interface.

I suggest that you simply add three new icons to the "overhead banners" on troops, e.g for Infantry add a Shield banner, for cavalry add a Horse banner and last but not least, for archers add a Bow banner.

Good idea to have 3 icons at the scoreboard. It is impossible to chat about how many archers you have. It is much easier to take a look and see what the team could use.
