I've played a couple of rather huge games now with up to 34 civs on the map. I found out that in each game there seems to be at least one spot where the civ colors don't work well. For example, in my current game, there is France next to America, both are north of Greece and west of the Maya and the Khmer, who also shared a border with Sumer. To make the chaos complete, Korea was west of Greece and got inveded by Greece and Persia. All these civilizations are blue, and it's often hard to determine who owns what. In other games I had similar problems with Mali, the Celts, and the Incas sharing one spot.
I know that there are mods that try to improve the standard colors, or add more colors, but I think with 30+ civs to choose from, I think there will always be combinations that don't work well.
So, instead of trying to make 30+ distinct colors which are all easily distinguishable from every other color in the set (which is not possible imho), wouldn't it be better to be able to switch the colors in-game? For example, in the "blue" game I described above, some civilizations are long gone: the Dutch, Russians, Chinese and others don't exist anymore. So some colors (orange, pink, red) aren't even on the map anymore, while blue is excessively overrepresented. Likewise, in the game with Mali / Celts / Incas, there wasn't any red color at all on the map.
I'd be very grateful for a mod that allowed me to simply change a civ's color from within the game, so that I could adapt the colors to the situation that develops in the game. But can this be done? And is there a kind soul who likes the idea and would like to do it?
