There are Characters and Buildings, but what about Resources ?
What do you say - put them in menu aswell :)

I can help if needed.

I actually like the idea, I mean it just gives more features to view incase people have lost their playing manual or don't have a clue or even haven't played the game before and want to study up on it.

And you guys can get the pictures from the manual that installs to the computer. The one red with the Adobe Reader.

Eh, do you mean somekind of section that explains what kind of things different resources can be used to? I might add it if I find the time (free whole next week :))

I mean some kind of thing explaining what resources are, where they can be found/made, how they can be used, etc..
I can write few entries if you support this idea :)

Sample idea for stones:
Stones are one of the most common resource in Kam. You need it to build roads and houses. It is also used by recruits in Towers to throw at enemies heads :)
To mine stones you need to find greenish moutains and build a Quarry nearby. Stonemasons will cut pieces of rock from those mountains and bring them to Quarry to give them usable form.

That's a good description. I'll use it when the section get's ready, keep it up! :)

As you know the resource icons are really small so it looks kind of strange having them with their normal size on the site, and therefore I thought about resizing them. I tried using the Hqx filter and here's what it looks like:

Normal:

Double Size:

Hq2x:

The Hqx filtering no doubt looks better than normal double size, and those white dots surrounding the gold could easily be removed, but are there any other filters around that are meant for pictures and is free to use as Hqx is meant more for a bit cartoony graphics which is why the result isn't the best.

Why do I need the icons from adobe reader? You're really confusing me sometimes... Anyways, I get the graphics from the game using the wonderful tool called the Graphics Reader by The Barbarian.

In that case, you could always make a screenshot of them, but even better, Adobe Photoshop can import .pdf files as graphics.
