Strange Civ Colors...

[Grey Fox]

The fact that Egypt are Pink are as shocking to me as Aztec are Blue (another thing is that they are both the Dominating AI Civ in the area they are located in )

 

[Ankka]

Gee, this has never happened to me...
Sounds a bit weird.

 

[Masquerouge]

Well well well... I can think of ony one remaining explaination : you trained the AI so hard it is now alive... and it doesn't like yellow and dark green.

 

[Japher]

I have played the Japanesse and the Persians. Both times I was green. Didn't know that the colors should of changed, yet I really hate green... It is too hard to see your borders when they lie within the jungle

 

[Grey Fox]

That's because you didn't face Greece when you were Persia, or Aztec when you are Jaoan.

Because Greece can only be Light Green, and Aztec can only be Dark Green.

Everytime I play a game with less than 10 players, there always seems to be civs with different colours. I think they meant to do this.

Two cents. Peace

I got color confused yesterday myself so I decided to go into the editor and change everyone's colors so that they each have something different. Now, I've never had a game where two civs share the same color. Actually now, some civs look better with the colors I've given them

I did the exact same thing. I made my own game mod for regent. I set AI to AI trade down to 100, made every civ industrious (and for those that were already industrious, gave them another trait to even it up) and gave each civ it's own unique colour.

Zulu-black
Iriquous(sp?)-grey
Greece-olive green
Japan-dark red
Babylon-cream
Egypt-gold
France-navy blue
Persia-dark green

I think the rest I left them with their default colours......

I had a game and the greeks were pink, first time I had ever seen them that way, I also believe that it may be possible to haev more colours, so that there are 3rd and so on.

I've had a game with the Americans as orange, and another with Romans in orange. Egypt in pink and greece in the dark blue.

 

[Zouave]

Barbarians, who I keep sedentary, are pink.

French are white, or light gray - typical of the French monarchy.

 

[Sullla]

I have had the same thing as well; nearly flipped out when I ran into an ORANGE Rome. Whaaaat? Rome's color was historically always that famous shade of red; how did they get to Orange? Of course, the answer is that Babylon was in the game, but still... This change seems to have started with the 1.21f patch, as far as I can tell. What I want to know is if there is a way I can change some of the civ's colors around permanently without having to create a scenario to do so. Anyone know how to do this? I believe it's possible.

I just played a game with rome in blue .

Also i thought pink was greece's second colour anyway.

 

[WarlordMatt]

Whenever I start a new game in which I change the civs color my game always crashes.

I played a game in which accidently started on a large map with 7 random civs.

I was Persia (Neon Green)
There was Rome (Red)
Germany (Blue)
China (Light Blue)
Aztecs (Dark Green)
Egypt (Yellow)
Russia (Brown)
England (Orange)

I knew this because i went to the spaceship screen and looked where i need spies.

I realized i wanted standard so i went to new game and switched the map size.

The new civs were:
Persia (Neon green)
Rome (Red)
America (German Blue)****
China (Light Blue)
Greece (Dark Green)****
Zulu (Yellow)
Russia (Brown)
England (Orange)

This means all the colors stay on the same civs unless you completely exit the game. The Civs who then could not be their primary or secondary colors were then given the colors that were used by the civs before them.

This may explain something of the dilemma.

 

[Chieftess]

I've seen a few odd colors. I did have a blue Aztec once. There were others, which I can't remember... Rome might've been blue once, too.

 

[simplybag]

Yea really strange. I'm having orange Americans in my current game. I'm China, therefore I should change my colour to pink. France isn't in the game so that can't be it
