Simple idea... You could choose preferred colors and use these every game. Other teams colors could appear to you as randomly chosen. Of course this would only affect how it looked on your computer, everyone else playing would see things with their own settings. Knowing your units always have the same color scheme helps recognize them easier, saves having to choose them every game and ensures you will always get the colors you want. It might mess up things like stats pages which show colors, but these stats could be linked to player ID instead. Cheers!
I don't really see the point of this. If someone's really unable to remember what colour they chose at the beginning of the game, strategy isn't their genre.
Ah yes, I read it again and it seems you are right. That would make it very hard to discuss teams as "the red team" or "the blue team."
Thanks cpt conundrum for the pointer to the mod... it's not exactly what I meant, but it'll work just fine.
Sometimes I want to change colors after finding out the strategic icons are nearly indistinguishable. Perhaps a team name mod could work around the reference problem.
How would you communicate with other teams. as of now if i am in a 2v2v2 and i am blue team, another team is red, and another team is yellow. if i had yellow team ******* with me and i wanted to something like "hey yellow back off, while we are fighting, red has built a huge army, i should not be your concern" that wouldn't work because both the other teams would be confused like "who TF he talking to? there isnt any yellow here"
Don't take that example very literal. Just the idea behind it. there is no way to communicate to the opposing team, because they have nothing clear making them different. people would be very confused wondering who is talking to who, and no one would know if you were talking to them.
No it doesn't. It makes it so your color is selected. He wants a way to have his units always be a certain color. Kinda like in America's Army – a FPS. The side you're in is always the US Military and the side you're against is always the terrorists. So to me, my opponent's look like the terrorists. To my opponent's, I look like the terrorists. Probably shouldn't be a game feature. Would be a nifty mod though.
i like the idea ... simply show me as blue while my enemy/enemies is/are red and my allies are green ...
I think this option is usefull in singleplayer games like the galactic war but in mp? I agree it would be Nice to have this option. But what About the option to choose all the Colors we want? ATM we can only choose between 2 secondary Colors instead of all of them i would love to this happen what About u guys? Shoud i make a topic About this option?
Like the idea.... rather a shame you didn't include an "actually that's a good idea" option in your poll?!
