This is maybe not the most important thing but we should discuss it, to start with a few suggestions:

Russia: Red i just think it fits for Russia.
U.S.A: Blue or Light blue a little maybe too, White.
China: Orange or Red maybe red fits better for China then Russia? If so what colour shall russia have?
Great Britain: (as i support solution 3 in "what to do for europe thread") Dark blue (any better suggestions?).
E.U Civ: White? I am short of ideas for this one.
Failed Nations: Black.
and then we have Taiwan(?) Japan and many more (Israel?) like the Arab states (i think that one of them should have Dark Green).

United States of America - Dark Blue
Canada - Light Red
Mexico - Orange
China - Light Orange
North Korea - Darker Blue
Russia - Dark Red
Kazakhstan - Light Green
Israel - Dark Purple
Palestine - Light Purple
Egypt - Yellow
South Korea - Light Blueish
India - Purpel
Venezuela - Wierd Green
Brazil - Brown
Japan - Grey (Canada and Russia are more deserving of red)
Australia - Light Blue
Republic of Indonesia - Dark Grey
Saudi Arabia - Darker Green
Independent African States - Very Light Yellowish (Light yellow, hard to see)
African Union - White (It's white, you just can't see it)
Failed States - Black

These are my suggestions.

Yes i didn't really remember all the civs that was in the game so i just took a few. Anyway really good suggestions and i also think that canada and russia deserves red bettter than japan so i didn't suggest it :D. Great, Dark green for Saudi Arabia, just what i thought of :thumbsup:.

Dark blue should be for the EU

what colour shall be for US then?

White, the African Union should be a mid-tone green or gold.

This is a good idea, but we should really get some XML done before we start graphical things. So, check out the roadmap and anyone new who wants to work on this, post there describing your skills.

But we can still discuss can't we?

Sure, but we should start focusing on getting something done. :)

Nigeria should be green or dark green

Britan should be light red, thats the color thats always been used for it throughout history.

what colour shall be for US then?

light blue

Light Blue should be for EU

i think a just off white grey would be pretty fitting, and green for nigeria

Dark Green belongs to Saudi Arabia, and i think some kind of Gray/white (white) would fit for EU.

I don't want to get in the way of discussions, but anyone who wants to sign up and start modding, take a look at the Roadmap and Jabber Chatroom threads. :goodjob:

Thanks

We have no problems (i think i talk for all) with recruitment posts :D, continue with the recruitment for the mod :thumbsup:!

o, then standard green will do for Nigeria then? seeing as how there so far apart

Why would white suit the EU? Dark blue is the colour it uses.

yes, it is always a problem with the EUs colour....

Well, if we're deciding on split EU anyway (see the "What to do for Europe" thread) then it won't be a problem ;)

Well for now it seems like nr 2 has the lead so, but your suggestion in the WTDFET (What To Do For Europe Thread) do you mean that it is an extendation of nr. 2 without an EU civ?

Yes, the idea I posted there would mean that there wouldn't be an EU civ.

but it's a much better resolution this gets my support :thumbsup:.

Thanks! :D I like it too.

An easier way to do this may be "grouping" nations by region, then have varying shades of a basic color:
Middle East/Islamic Bloc: Green
African Union: Brown
Russia: Red
Canada: Red
Japan: Red or White
China: Purple or Red
United States of America: Navy Blue
Spain/Central America/Mexico: Yellow
Greater Caribbean: Blue-Green
South America: Gray (?)
Failed States: Black
North Korea: Dark Pink
South Korea: Blue
Southeast Asia/Indonesia/Australia: Dark Blue

The only problem with the grouping method is that similar coloured countries are right next to each other, making it more difficult to tell which is which.

i think that Saudi Arabia deserves dark green better than indonesia, and for Egypt i think it shall be brown.

I think Indonesia should get a red colour instead. Maybe a an off-white? I'm just going off the flag, here.

Canada and Russia deserve red more than the other countries.

Canada and Russia deserve red more than the other countries.

i think so too so maybe indonesia shall have white then.

Well, we have access to shades, right? So Red could be Russia, Dark Red China, Orange-Red Canada, Ruby Indonesia...

what for the UK i hear thee not asking?

how about Imperial Pink ;)

That's not even funny. Brits wearing pink? You've been watching too much Family Guy. :lol:

Shaboopie, Shaboopie, Shaboopie, the girl who's hard to get...

We've got to have a white or a red. But not a mixture of both ;)

heheh, the map was once painted pink mind...

How about Navy Blue then for the UK

I'm completely serious, no mater what country your from, Canada MUST have this red as it's color, it's not even funny *giggles*.

You know what I mean. We have access to tons of colors; it shouldn't be too hard.

Or we could do a totally politically correct thing and randomize color assignment (Pink America, anyone?) ;)

:lol: I think we should just do it on a civ by civ basis, then argue about it later.

The EU should get royal blue. First its flag does have it as main color. Plus royal blue is the base color for several european flags: the swedish flag, the (royal) french flag, the greek flag and so on. Its only a secondary color for the us-american flag, and the republican french flag alone can easily top that.

i think we shall use NikNaks proposal which means it wont be any EU civ
