Two civs with the exact same colour?

[Virote_Considon]

OK, so I'm playing unmodded Conquests for the first time in eons to help get a friend started.

Playing as the Celts. Yada yada nothing important. One of my rivals is China with the turquoise colour. Not that light-baby-blue colour, the turquoise colour.

So I'm playing along, they declare war, and I move my curragh into what I think is Chinese water - but it's Mayan water!

What in the?

How is this even possible? Surely one of them should be using a different colour?

Yes quite common. You have alimited color palette and 31 civs. I would locate a 31 color mod in the creation forum and use it. Even then they have some pretty close in color.

Aye, I just always assumed that if 2 civs were to have the same colour, then it would give 1 of them an unused colour (as is, the Aztecs are red in this game)

Also, China's just roped the Maya in for a MA against me. Makes things easier

It was lazy work by 2K or someone. When they added the new civs, thy should have added to the color palette. Many users made their own, so it was not a big job. All thy had to do was look at a box of crayons.

Yeah, though the colours seem very mixed up in this game:

I'm the Celts, and I have their secondary sea green colour, Japan have their secondary dark red, but the Byzantines also have the same dark red. No-one's got the Celt/Japan/Aztec green and the Aztecs are in fact blood red. Both China and the Maya who I'd previously mentioned have alternate colours (rose and blue) which aren't being used. Korea's using their secondary indigo colour as normal and same with the bright green Greeks.
