I think they are automatically added in..
I saw techs from old topics with no glass bottles.
But ingame there is.

Its a scroll for orders sent and formed by a tactician.
Maybe just change it to a map texture?

Oh good point keep it for all tactician techs and we still need a sprite for the tactician/strategist tent as proposed by endru

You're right.
It was done manually.
Btw. each tech type has different color of bottle icon:
Blue - unit upgrade
Orange - stats boost
Green - unlocks something
No bottle - building self-upgrade

I think it will do this to certain pole arm units.
( 1+ Melee armor 1+ Attack to all nearby adjacent units )
( Gives first strike ability , works only in formation or when reach tech is researched )

I intentionally didn't mention polearm units.
Even meager +1 power gives them too much power against their main targets. It's especially true for pure anti-mounted units. Spearman getting +1 power really benefits much more than others - it's +5.5 (rounded down if needed) vs all mounted and + 8 vs elephants.
This problem in swordsman/classic medium melee case will be solved, as I plan to decrese mega-buildings hp along eith bonuses vs them to fortification level.
Anti-mounted however will still be like that - any increased power practically means one-shoting mounted units.
Also - cover icon shield may be mistaken with shield wall - too similar shields.
