What a decision to make... and thanks for the poll Uber.

Hopefully this is the last detail to be decided upon, and then we can get slaughtering.

I voted for black, but then I started to think if it's a colour at all. You see, when we look from the physics point of view, black absorbs all the light's colour wavelenghts to itself, therefore there shows up no colours in our eyes. So is it a colour after all...

Just a thought

White is the pressence of all colors.
Black is the absence of all colors.
At least that's what I remember from one of my grade school science teacher's; I think they were oversimplfying it though.

What is this?!?!?! The best color isn't even in the poll!!!!

IMNSHO, the best color is the secondary purple of Korea. Korea blows as a civ, but the color rocks. It can't seem to make up its mind about wether it is blue or purple... It kinda blends together to some how achieve both colors. Check it out some time...

Seriously, as long as we get a color that is noticable enough, that will be o.k. But I'll take Black.

I prefer red for one fact. I am color blind in a rare way. I cannot see shades of similar color. Red stands out in forests the best for me. The 'colorblind help' only assists with cities, and the color rings will only work if it is of a different color than the forest or background (ie, definately NOT green). I can probably handle black fine, though, for this first term. It's choice may preclude my absense from any official position other than FAM later if I find it difficult to see units, though, after this first term when I will know locations of units simply because I will be the one ordering my relevent units around. Later, having to search for larger numbers of them may not be possible.
Yes. I have had Zulu sneak up on me before since I have trouble immediately picking them out from some backgrounds. I have also had 2 civs next to each other that I cannot tell the difference between their colors. The Silver, and one of the lighter blues are two that are difficult for me. Sure wish that colorblind help also added titles under the units...

I am also trying out terrain graphic mods to help me with this currently. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Sn00py's seems best right now, the detail of the terrain makes circles stand out a bit better even if they are of similar color, a circle is out of place.

Been sneak attacked, and have attacked the wrong civ when a similar color had a RoP with a nation and I did not have the auto warning on for attacking...

Mostly just a problem when I am loading a sav or for some reason am unable to see the units move between turns to take notes of where they all are.

There's a runoff unless one choice gets over 50% of the vote.
