Please explain a few in game icons

Post by Frostblade »

Hello freeciv community, I'm brand new to game and have a 2 simple questions you may be able to answer...

Here are 2 screenshots with arrows pointing to icons I don't understand:

Scrrenshot 1:

1. What do the stars at the arrow on the left mean? I've see them go from 1 to 4 stars, what are they?
2. There is some sort of armor icon pointed by the arrow at the right, what does this armor icon mean?

Screenshot 2:

Pointed by red arrows, what do the individual icons mean?

I'm using Qt client, thank you for your help in advance!

The stars indicate that the city has defender(s). On that citybar display number next to the sheaf (not armor) tells how many turns it still takes for the granary to get completely full and the city to grow.
For the units the shield, gold, and sheaf (= food) indicate unit's upkeep.

If somebody could also please explain what's the meaning of "G" letter next to unit?

Is there a place where various in-game icons can be learned?
