Description (last modified by )
Add the possibility to change the coloured dot on the minimap into an icon. Sebastián Gómez (16/Mar/19 - created a proposal on how this could look like (see image below for more clarity).
Alternatively, a user named Wijitmaker made the suggestion to allow drawing different pixel shapes instead of having them all as squares. (24/Jul/11 - Minimap Colours)
A Youtube channel called T90Official - Age Of Empires 2 shows how pixel shapes could look like on a minmap:

22:44 < Langbart> Hey Vladislav, is it possible to change the appearance of an object on the minimap to an icon instead of a colored dot?
22:47 < Vladislav> Langbart: in general yes, but it'd be drawn on GUI pass, not on minimap texture drawing.

Needs some extra code to work. Vladislav's work might make it easier in the future.
