We don't have canals in official rulesets/tilesets, but this seems quite lot like the canals on some custom tilesets. How easy it's to tell them apart in game?

; Unit upkeep in city dialog:
; These should probably be handled differently and have
; a different size...

Trimmed the dead space off the bottom that was inherited from the tiles image. Also have the spec here.

I wonder if we should do that for S2_5 version too. One .spec-file can contain multiple grids after all (not all sprites in the .png need to be on same grid with same sprite size).

I can't vouch for others' canals, but they stand out quite well against my own for several reasons.

The supports give it a distinctive sawtooth edge
The blue is extremely different
The silver and blue are more intermixed, with notably less blue
The lack of dams (Can't have canals without locks and dams )

- bug #20536: Missing icon for roads in editor : This is the only ticket having no progress at all

Currently we're using one that I think must have been originally intended for editable borders, which doesn't look quite right. It can be seen in file #17268.
Would be nice to have something better for 2.5.0. Relevant file is data/misc/editor.png.

Hadn't realized what this was until I just went to the GNA thread and saw that post

Here's a version with a crossed road and railroad.

Road and Base activities

See bug #20032 for how I'm planning to setup these.

For completeness, it would be nice to have activity icon for Airstrip matching sprite of the airstrip extra itself, since that is provided already in 2.5 tileset (But since no supplied ruleset uses those until 2.6, this is really not-a-high-priority)

Ah, which versions are we using for the Airstrip/Airfield and Airbase again? Are we using X for airstrip/airfield (Which name should be preferred? airfield seems like it is more applicable.) and X w/ building for airbase, or something else? And is it a matter of editting the 2.5 files to match this? (Tiles and Modern Cities, I think?)

Also, I STRONGLY advise against using Fort and Fortress as distict bases, internally or otherwise. It's confusing because the former is an abbreviation of the latter. (Despite how punny it is to use shortened fortress for a shortened fortress) I suggest castra(latin for 'encampment buildings', which included a wall. Is plural), palisade, or encampment(Which is distinct enough from camp, in case that is ever used for a forest infrastructure or the like).

That naming was handled in patch #5524, with some discussion in patch #5027.
