Faction colors

from Elemental Forums

i have discovered the faction colors options some minutes ago in the faction creator

you can creat very funny or pretty looking factions, if you didn't use it before, give it a look

options:

faction color: with one click you can prearrange the next options / you get a "naturally" looking palette for buildings, clothes . . .

clothing 1, clothing 2: the clothes . . . wow :)

pimary, secondary: the buildings and built-up tiles

metal: for armours and weapons (if metal) / darkblue or red armour must be great (or any)

roof: roof

map: border, map, flag, building menu, cityname and assignment (in the creator it doesn't change the color for me, but on the map is ok)

if you have some goog looking colorset you can share with us the colorset and some picture (at the moment i haven't)

I made some Draconian, Fay, Wraith (from stargate atlantis LOL) and other races a while ago, but i edited the .xml's to change the skincolor and such (hope they add that to the ingame creator, and un-bug the color picker there)

there is some bug with colors

after i arrange the colors, save the nation and reload it some colors change

the game doesn't keep all my palette, the faction colors remains, but the others aren't always the same

I believe that the faction color overrides some of the other colors.  If you use Zone of control color instead of faction color you should still be able to edit the clothing and building colors.   In the faction editor (mod - not official), I don't even set the faction color, but I do set all the rest.  It seems to work as intended.  I made a pretty good looking (uh...mean ugly looking) troll race with mottled green skin and purple hair with dark maroon clothing and red metal.   I called them the Mob.  I am just playing a game against them, they are a good race to hate.   :)   

 

I created a special sovereign for them as well (Murt the Muddy), as well as generating 3 new sovereign histories just for my game.   

 

In any case, this is just to say, faction creation and editing is really fun in this game.  Just takes a little knowledge to get started.
