[.981] Faction Colors

Good idea to change the colors a little bit... I like the new fluorescence on the borders by the way...

+ How about leaving Kraxis yellow and make Gilden brown instead

+ Wildlands should be multi-colored like the city states in Civ 5.

Love this idea

Seconded or Thirded.  Let's get this done!  

I think silver would be confused with white... how about pink?  :karma:

Also, I think brown would be a good replacement for another color... maybe orange -> brown  

Brown for Gilden would fit fine so Kraxis can go yellow then

White yes can be easily mistaken for silver so yeah give pinki  

Would it be too much to ask for, for a setting so the game ignores the player chosen border colors and gives them to something you set during game setup, since there isn't a lot of colors left for custom factions , I usually end up with a couple of factions with the same colors after I made 3-4 custom factions.
This is starting to make the random faction thingie quite annoying, cause in some games I will end up with all the neighboring factions all having a yellow borderline, or something like that.

Now I am thinking of it, meaby a second color or symbol, or a second feature Implemented in borders and faction colors to help distinguish between similarly colored factions could be nice...

+1 about the faction colors, couldn't tell the 2 yellowish colors apart very well.

Yeah please let us choose colors for each faction while starting a new game. This is a staple feature for strategy games... and its pretty darn simple to impliment for the devs.

Colors need to be unique and distinguishable.

Or at least a Line color and a radiance color, since the new ZoC looks all sexified that way.

Ever try to play the game from a colorblind perspective?

To be more constructive, to help in my scenario is to offer more than just color. Border with the faction name or when you zoom out, a solid color of what borders you currently see as well as who owns them.

Would a colorblind mode help? some games have this? Just a personal interest in how colorblind see the world

I approve as well.

Bumping this cuz I haven't seen/heard plans to address and it still bugs me.

Yeah in a recent game of mine both Krax and Gilden were present and they shared a common border.  My eyeballs exploded.

Thanks for the bump!

Poor eyeballs

I would avoid the black. I can see them being confusing with the black grid lines. I don't mind the Forest Green. If anything, make Tarth into a lighter green to further distinguish the two.

I am hesistant of the silver. It's too close to white and could conflict Ythiril. However, I solidly agree that Kraxis and Gilden are too close in color. perhaps consider a Brown for kraxis?

Definately agree Resolin should be purple.

Definatley agree Magnar could be a Burnt Orange.

I won't be the one to go out and say Pink should be in there somewhere. Cause the runner up would probably be Tarth...

In addition, it would be nice if the border colors were a little more pronounced while in the cloth map view. There a bit hard to distinguish against the tan colored background.  

This is interesting. It's one of those things I don't even notice from playing for so long with the same colors. I only look at flags, not color, because you can't tell anything by color. 

I like this.

we are looking into this, those who have been around a while will remember that purple and orange were once the colors of Capitar and Umber, who no longer have pre-made Sovereigns... Thus we (kind of?) have more options for the time being, it just had never been re-investigated

+1

I feel strangely and shamefully strongly about this for reasons I can't quite understand.   Kraxis has to be gold and black.  Capitar has to be purple.  Tarth should be green.  But the others can change I guess...

Well, I still play with Umber and Capitar, all it takes is making them a Sov and the nations are already made. 

Would be nice to have some suggested colours too for new custom factions, if you find some spare colours, also finding a colour palette with easily distinguishable colours would be nice, atleast some games run up to 12 colours somewhat differentiated.
