Yeah, I say either get rid of the "S" or make it a part of the legend. You wouldn't have to add it as a separate element on the legend, just put in the top left of each settlement icon in the legend like you do on the map. Just to keep things consistent.

I have to say that knowing what the 'S' means makes it easier for me to read the map. With all the different symbols on the map, it's nice to be able to easily tell which are settlements and which are something else.
The only thing I might find a bit more useful as far as letters beside symbols go would be if there were a 'H' beside the human settlement and weapons, an 'E' beside the elves, and so on. It would make matching the correct settlement to the correct weapon type a bit easier. Though I'm guessing that playing a few games on the map would fix that problem a fair bit too.

i'm thinking of a development of this idea: not the same symbol for the training grounds, but a symbol to identify something as a settlement easily, without having to look at the legend every time - perhaps elven town, orks' camp and the other settlements can each be surrounded by a circular wooden defensive palisade wall (the palisade in the link below is not circular, but it gives an idea of what i mean).
