Zoom 5 would have to be manually created just like zoom 4.

Each bridge zoom has 5 normal icons plus 5 destroyed, so for the wood and stone bridges that's 20 icons. For six zoom levels that's 120 icons, so it would be nice if the game would generate 80 of them and even put them and position them in the shape files.

It could be done manually, but like you said it would be tedious. I think that's why I shelved this project the first time.
