I would think that colours are probably one of the easiest things to edit. Its not like they are hard coded, you just change the pallete.

The city names are light purple I think, but the units are definitly pink, this must be one of the new colours that enables 16? civs at once. What are the other new colours? Perhaps you can use your own colour scheme?

It will proberly be changeable in some txt file or something, but I hope they make it changeable in the game itself!

What I'd most like to see about colors in the game is random color, so the Zuluz don't have to be light green in every game...And most important, don't do it like most other games do, set the color to the player, that way player one is ALWAYS blue and player two is ALWAYS red, etc...How I just hate that

Even if you are only able to play with 7 civs at once, I hope every civ has a different color that way you can make any civ combo you want to play with. I hated not being able to have the French and Germans both in a game with Civ2.

Did anyone notice the roads going across the tops of the mountains? That definitely does not look very realistic.

Ahh S*** and Godda**** Look at the bloody roads between the mountains they just put roads in as an overlay so it blocks out the mountain that's supposed to be in front of it. THIS HAS GOT TO BE FIXED!! Even CTP2 wasn't that bad!

16 civs at once? Probably not. My guess is you can still only play 7 civs at once in a game, but 16 separate colors enable any combination of those civs, i.e. in Civ2 you could not play the Russians vs. the Celts unless you customized a civ because both are white. This problem seems to be alleviated in Civ3 with twice as many colors.

I think I remember reading you can have all civs at once, but they don't recommend it

Why would you say something like this? You don't have any information that would lead you to that conclusion. There's more information (preview) supporting the fact that you can play all 16 civs together at once than there is information (none) saying that you can still only play 7 civs togehter at once.

I hope you can play with 16 civs, it would make for a much more interesting game (more carnage all-round). I would say most systems could handle it, so there's no excuse for Firaxis holding-back. No excuse whatsoever.

After all, this is now 2001.

Not if you go by the Firaxian calendar, which states that the date is July 12, 1991.

The colours really look bad.

They should not only make them custumisable,
but also change the default!

And the roads look silly, which is also mentioned in
another thread. They really need to work on that one...

I am only guessing, but what I guess is: there will be the same (8) colours like civ2 where. Greene, yellow, purple, white (never seen until now), blue, orange (also not seen), "chinese"-blue, red (remember the colonies screenshots: rome was red). And then is there a 9th colour: grey - for the barbarians. That means to me, there could be 8 nations + barbarians in one game. Or may be one replace one of the other coulours then are 7 in one. The nations colour seems to be not "hardcoded" like civ2 was.

If it will be possible to change, I'll make the Barbarians red. They have always been so, and I don't want to see red being another civ. Interesting how will white units look in snow there .

Another thing about those roads - I have trouble as it is moving a howitzer to its taget without accidentally ending-up on a square with just bare terrain (where it's picked-off in due course by a stealth fighter).

You'd need the grid on, which is a shame.

americans and chinese seem to be the same blue.

the spanish and the russians seem to be the same gray.

any other matches?

(perhaps 8 of 16 civs at one?)

Nope, "turquoise" is correct, but you spelled "wrong" wrong

Now that I think about it, it doesn't seem very logical that Civ3 would only allow 7 civs. The only reason they had 7 civs was because there were 21 possible civs / 3 colors = 7 civs. 16 possible civs / 2 colors = 8 civs at once? It's an improvement, but I would still like to see 16.

P.S. the Chinese should be red

English should be green,

French should be blue,
Italian should be red.

Why? These are the traditional car colors of these countries

This is the ugliest color scheme in civ series so far!


That is for sure... I will be exterminating the French first just to get rid of their annoying color on the screen...
