Idea for Mod to choose Faction's color like loadout?

[poom3619]

Is there any way we can just get firaxis to give us a bit of a choice in faction colors? like even if it's a small selection, say 5 choices for border color and symbol and then 2-3 for background, then have it all based around the faction, representing different banners and whatnot (while also having black and white be baseline for background colors since they are kind of generic)?

For example, for symbol/border for ARC you can pick red/white/blue/green/maybe black (as a generic), representing the colors of Canada/US/Mexico and then pick background color from say dark blue/white/black. Then there could be an option to grant this to an AI and they pick their colors randomly with restrictions in the code to prevent white/white or black/black combinations, otherwise they stick with default colors.

I just think it'd be something to help us personalize the factions even further even if it's just cosmetically

While I personally think this suggestion would have little chance as Firaxis build-in feature. It is an interesting mod for anyone to try their hand on. Sure, changing color IMO is one of relatively easy thing to do with XML. But someone gonna want it handed in a plate for them, it might mean a lot of people, actually.

That's probably impossible.

The Colors and the color-associations of the Civilizations are in XML-Tables that you can't change dynamically and the whole Process of assigning Colors to Civilizations is handled in the Core-Part of the Code that is not accessible.
