Is there any way to change the colors of the factions in the game? Some of them look very similar and I have trouble telling them apart without clicking on the cities to see who owns what.
Blue : Pariden and Resoln - Had to tell apart, Pariden is a bit lighter, but not noticably much
Purple: Capitar, Magnar - Magnar is just a tad darker
Orange: Umber, Kraxis - Basically you cannot tell them apart without clicking.
This is definately a minor problem. But there are not many colors left to use...
if a faction could be represented by 2 colors, which were then shown as stripes on the map?
The colors and devices (shield designs) displayed on the settlement info bar are (sometimes) difficult to tell apart. May i suggest the shields be designed so that all have four quadrants (many already do). Instead of placing the identifying symbol over the entire shield, place it in the upper right hand corner. That will leave three quadrants left for other information. A subset of icons could be generated and used in the lower left hand quadrant to distinguish between shields being 'shared' by several factions. Making the subset icons very different, and colorful will make it easier to tell them apart.
It also fit s in with heraldry, and adds medieval style flavor to the game.
And, in the future, if scions, .etc., are added to the game, two quadrants remain for their shields to use.
