We have an icon for the players defeated,
we have an icon for the players resigning, but...
We have no icon for the winner(s) of the game!

Something like that:

If someone can come up with a better icon than that that is also free and the right size I will add it.

Maybe we could just use the Dominator star set onto a clear background. I lack the Photoshop skills to do this, but it seems like a simple yet elegant solution rather than a flashy trophy.

The dominator star doesn't show up very well on the grey. That doesn't mean it's a bad idea. But it would need a lot of work to turn it into a proper icon. I messed around with it a little bit but couldn't come up with anything I liked. In fact it looked a little funny because the star is rotated.

I have a question... what is "the right size"?

25 pixels high. (that trophy is too tall) the width I am not sure. As long as it looks good in the space provided then the width can vary.

Yes, I took that without rights. And also, the cups are mostly about sport competitions, a medal would be more suitable in my opinion for the military contest, but it's harder to draw.

I am not so good on making maps, but maybe I can try to make a little icon... 25 pixels, cool!
I would make a try or maybe Psymon wants.

I thought of a rotated medal with the dominator star with some red outline to match the grey background. But don't have the files needed.

Well, this is my first try:

Practically drawn by free hand, except the circle frame.
Can be good? Need some changes? Or it doesn't work at all. Let me know please.

Hmmm, it doesn't look bad! I like it, but maybe it's too small (16x16). We could resize a bigger version I guess.

If you mind me going a bit off-topic, looking at those screenshots reminded me of a small thing. I have always wondered why dead players have ? territories and ? troops, and receive ? reinforcements next turn. Wouldn't be more logical to set the question marks to zeros?

Yeah, also the triangulum is not a bad idea.

I agree with Psymon on that second argument, zeros should be more logical.

But higher quality etc?
