Default New Icons - We want more!

I'm quite excited by all those new icons we get in 3.10, but I bet I'm not the only one who wants more icon! Let's build a list for KO so that he might add them in the next big update

At this point I have come up with these icons:

Gem Producer
Summon Allies (command "Summon Allies")
Make Mobs (generate some units each month)
Assassin
Unrest Stirrer
Shapeshifter
Alchemy Bonus
Research Bonus

Must forget something so, any ideas, gentlemen?

Actually breaking the research number down to see where it comes from would be nice. (base research, scale bonus/penalty, research bonus)

The assassin icon is the one I'd call highest priority. And Spy. If you're not sure from the description, you can't tell even after recruiting either, until you reach enemy territory.

Second form and second temp form would be nice (not shapechange). So would spread dom I guess.

They don't need to be fancy - just a little sign saying "spreads dom" or something would be fine.

Anyway, assassin, alchemy and spy are the highest priority as far as I can see.

need not maintenance (maenad, undead etc...)
fly even in storm
disease bringer [edit: this exists already. Sorry, should have checked game more carefully]

I'm not quite sure but I think we get two sorts of disease bringers (Harvester of Sorrows - Lee Tiekuai the Iron Clutch) as well as two sorts of unrest stirrer (Spy and Maker of Ruins).
2cents.

Shapeshifter - Not Skinshifters. By Shapeshifter I mean commanders come with "Change Shape" command.

There are two sorts of disease bringers: Reaper, which is what Harvester of Sorrows, Poison Golem, Pazuzu and Mabakiel are, and Plague Carrier (afflicts units in the same province with disease but does not kill population), which is what Disease Demon, Apparition and all forms of the Eater of the Dead are. What you are talking about is probably disease cloud, like hydra has a poison cloud. Disease cloud has no icon.

Oh, sorry. My misunderstanding.
