Maybe it's just me, but this must be the umpteenth time someone posts a cool icon and you reply to it by pointing out "the icon you use", which is always one of HBalcks whom you conveniently fail to even credit. He might have been an a** in many regards, but it's his work, so you can at least point out it's his icon you use and appearently like best...

Absolutely true, and maybe it's just me, but I also think that especially someone having the "Panzer Corps Moderator" written under his nick should set an example in this regard. In my view credit should go where it belongs and writing something like "I use" without mentioning any source (even if unknown) might create the false impression in some readers that the image was created by the person who is (re-)posting it.
I don't think that is an unreasonable expectation. Though I try to use vanilla icons wherever possible or whatever people are kind enough to donate to the project. In the case of Rome, I ma using some placeholders that I made so that I could get the thing moving, but I try to make as little demand on others as I can. It would be nice if everyone adopted this philosophy
As for credits, they tend to be located throughout the project's thread, and if I remember then they get added in a readme file or an update to something else. But I don't agree with posting icons I didn't make everywhere (with the exception of the nuke unit, which is easily the coolest thing I now have a
copy of! - guille made the original)
As for Razz's unit that 'he uses', I had no way of knowing it was HBalck's work as I only joined the forum after he got kicked off, so yes I was surprised to find out about the author. Maybe a good idea for next time?
