    Do we really need five posts like this on the front page. Secondary color would be nice but there's other ways you can deal with the issue. One way is having unique shapes for each player that would help the colorblind and the color deficient.;)

    well a few people did want a poll, and since we can't append them to already opened threads, it was probably a good idea.

    There is something in the neighborhood of 7 plus threads on the specific topic all in various sub forums. It is really hard to have a coherent conversation on it. Also it makes the forum hard to read. That is where my issue lies.:)
    Maybe they should give us the ability to do that? Personally I find polls useless due to the low amount of people responding to them. Also generally the polls are highly biased. So are the people answering them.:(

    Oh no you didn't...

    In all seriousness, I voted return them, however if Uber posted in this thread about new ideas for multiple team division ideas beyond limited colors, I will sing them a song about bacon.

    Because all Uber games feature bacon somehow. In planetary annihilation's case one of the lyrics is bacon.;)

    Hmm, got a clever idea, we should link this thread to the other "color threads" (which I see two of, not 7) to get the people in those threads to vote

    I posed it some where else but I will post it here too, @scathis said that they were taken out because they were "not noticeable" (even though by the results of this thread and others they clearly were). Why not make the strategic icons incorporate the second color to make them noticeable? This would allow in big games that excite the color limit to have differentiation between players.

    That would definitely give the secondary colors a "noticeable" use, as scathis puts it

    Some different colored strategic icons are hard to distinguish from each other as is.. add in another color (=make the area of the primary color smaller) would presumably make the problem even worse.

    I had that idea since the game came out in alpha. Sadly nobody really cared until now, we need the colors back!

    Yea, I liked choosing my secondary color. Getting green with baby blue highlights looks a bit odd.

    Well, seeing the feedback gained by this poll, we could say that it wasn't that bad, after all.

    I voted for bringing the second color back. I mean, why not? It was there before, so there are chances that it can be re-established with little work from the Devs.

    Beside this, any additional support for people with different degrees of color sensitivity are very welcome in principle.
