Hey Guys.

This question may of been anwsered already but ill ask again anyways :)

There are 7 icons in the top right of the interface what is each one used for? .I'll have a guess, the only one that looks odd to me is the 6th icon ( looks like a chefs hat to me) :)

Cross = Piety
Star = Fame
plate of food = Food
Log = Wood
Sword/Sheild = Weapons
Chefs hat = Cooks ??
Gold coins = Wealth/Money

I believe the icon that looks like a chefs hat is stone, since stone is also a resource and i seen that icon over a stone mine.

LOL, a chef's hat, haven't you ever of the term "living in the chef's hat age", or when you smoke a little something funky you get "chef's hatted". :D

Seriously, it looks like the top of a marble or stone column to me.

Hehe, it does resemble a chef's hat. I just thought the chef's hat = cooks part was funny. I thought for a sec, when was the last time I played a game where cooks were a major resource.

I hope no one does a cook rush, or worse, hold a massive bake sale to undermine my economy :D

Yes marble is very nice. I wonder how much more damage marble would have done then stone during sieges. :confused:

i think that icon looks like the top of a greek pilar; therefore it must represent either marble or stone...
