[bug] Custom faction colors changing after the game is started up anew.

.. Why customize the colors if they revert?

from Elemental Forums

When I made new factions before, I'd let the main color for their roofs and clothing be the faction color. Now when I make faction colors I'll sometimes link them all into the shieild of the faction. Such as the red shield with golden dragon on it. I'd make the faction yellow, and the roofs a dark red, and the outfits a dark red, and a light red.... When I shut the client down, and start the client back up again, My roofs are yellow, and my clothing is yellow and bright red.. effectively changing my faction's appearance.

This has happened nonstop with new factions ever since I've bought the game on steam.

Yeah.. Unfortunately, since that patch is when my faction colors are NOT.. It was working fine before that.

This update just happened at 12:00 pm today. But if that is the still the case then it is a bug. You may have to recreate that faction though.

This bug is still in effect. It's changing my colors around again. .. White became Grey. Dark red became gold.

It seems to be working correctly for me (with factions created after updating to 1.02).  Is anyone else seeing this?

(stream version win 7) What's happening is, when I create a faction that has colors that are similar to each other as the dark and light clothing color, or specifically 'this hue' it'll change it to a broader color. Or change it to the 'default'

I think I found the problem If I make a faction one set of colors Then change the colors of the leader for that faction The colors of the faction 'reset' to the leaders.

Yeah I think that is by design though. This allows someone to create several different colored sovereigns of the same faction. So I'm not sure if this is a prolbem then.

Ugh.. nope. It's changing the colors if they're too similar to another nation. Like my empire with the same hair/skin combo as a Kingdom.. it changed the hair to Golden brown rather than my green.
