This can be addressed by creating a custom image family using 
'imf' directives.

One reason why the Trident images look like they might not fit in 
is because they are 44x44, whereas the standard Standard images 
are 32x32, IIRC. If one just takes the Trident marine or mountain 
troop and rescales it to 32x32, I bet it would fit in quite 
nicely.

As far as the other images (in Standard) go, I am not certain that 
they absolutely need to be replaced.
