I do not exactly feel need to my trousers.
Anyways, as mentioned before i dont really not anything about this game. Couple random screenshots and a video. Also i am not some bored troll with too much time at my hands.
What i however do know - is that my little brother is also working in gaming industry and he, just like me in my own field, are not allowed to use other peoples assets - be it physical or intellectual to profit. Without making deal about it ofcourse.
What you have done is taken those icons from Supreme Commander 1:1 and then changed pixel or two in *some* of the icons (like anti navis T-like symbol). And i am not lawyer, but i would guess that equals unlawful use of both other companys assets and intellectual property (the looks).
Really the main point here is not if i am bored troll or not. Or whether i agree with you that the idea of using "common" symbols is good (it is) ...but youre using these to make money. Thus if the shit goes badly the youll have to worry about arguing over this stuff with their lawyer. They know all the stuff about that.
Total Annihilation and Supreme Commander are my alltime favorite RTS's. I and really love the fact that someone makes new game based heavily on those games. I really appreciate it.
But just be aware that if you copy-paste "the forum trolls" are not the thing to worry about.
Also as stated before, ill probably buy the game eventually. ...however i have hundredrs of games worth backlog and am single part of two small kids so there is fair chance its going to take awhile :(
Edit: common sense, fair use and legality have very little to do with each other. Ask any lawyer.
