I thought changing colors in the Editor caused problems with game CRASHING??
Anyway, French magenta is indeed HIDEOUS!!

ADG : I have no prefences for that. To be hornest I don't think any country should be assigned to a color, I would prefer to have random color for each civ. Only the babarians should keep one color!!! |
No, that would suck. That's how it is in CTP2. It makes you feel like there's nothing distinct about any of your opponents. The player color is determined by what player slot it is, additionally, so the set of colors you get is always the same, and the human player is always dk blue.
And also, I hated the pink countries in Civ1; I was happy it was changed to orange. I wasn't as happy about grey going to purple, though. I wish we could've had both, and maybe gotten rid of that unreadable dark blue.
A more complete listing of mine
Americans: lt cyan (it makes them look inexperienced and not very intimidating)
Indians: grey (as in Civ1)
British (formerly English): orange (as in Civ2, dunno why else tho)
French: dk blue (as in Col, Civ1/2)
Germans: black (they just gotta be black! like that cross symbol)
Zulus: lt green (as in Civ1/2...)
Italians (formerly Romans): dk green (flag)
Chinese: red (don't the women traditionally wear red?)
Japanese: dk purple
Koreans (formerly Persians): kind of indigo, dk blue-purple
Turks (formerly Egyptians): yellow (as in Diplomacy)
Russians: white (Diplomacy, Civ, surely lots of other games?)
Greeks: brown (I play Greeks as my customized civ, and our color is brown damnit)
the others I can't remember and don't care about.

Russians - Grey or black. I tend to think of them as the Russian Empire, not the USSR, so no red for me. |
The Soviets were associated with red because it was the color adopted by the Bolsheviks. The Mensheviks were the "whites," and they lost out to the "reds."
However, red has long been a favorite or lucky color for the Russians, and this preference probably dates back to the Mongol era. Red Square was named much earlier than the Soviet Era. The Russian word for red, krasnyi, is related to their word for beautiful, krasivyi.
So, Russia has to be red for me, no question.
Red wouldn't be a bad choice for England, but take a look at a world map, especially one from the pre-WW2 era. England and all her possessions are colored pink.
I give the Aztecs the dark red color (blood!).

I just want to make sure that every game doesn't feel the same. I think it's boring to say: "Hey I can see light blue borders overthere, that means were close the Americans". It would be better to say: "Hey I can see some light blue borders overthere, I wonder who that is".
That makes it more suprising!!!
But the worst kind of that I have seen is in e.g. Settlers I and II, where you always had to play as the red (or was it blue, and the Settlers III was red. Doesn't remember). That is just soooooo boring  I like suprises, and there's no suprise in knowing the enemies on the border color.

And just because it's in ctp2, it'll suck??? That was one of the few good parts they had in that game!!!
BUT ofcause, most important of all: It needs to be optional, so for those who want to play by suprise they get to play by suprise, and for those of you who don't like to be suprised.......Well I think you have got the point!

The most needed color change in Civ III is NOT any of the civs but the LINES for treaties on the Foreign Advisor screen. The Right of Passage and the Mutual Protection Pact are nearly the same exact shade of green. I have to flip those two on and off to tell which civ has which agreement.
What were thinking on those color choices? Why haven't they fixed them? Have they ever heard of CONTRAST?
As for the civs I like the French and hate the Pink Fopeteers. I would like to choose the color of whatever Civ I am playing.

I don't like to make England Orange, that whole Northern Ireland, Orangeman thing puts me off. Seems slightly offensive and inappropriate.
The Dutch should be Orange, but they aren't in the game.....
Romans - surely they should be Imperial Purple??? The colour of the Emperor??
