Change Starting Army Colors for 2 player Game

Post by Maroon Beret »

Concise description:
In two player games it seems that the default starting colors are always green and red. For color blind people, even with the letters in front of the colors, these are the most difficult colors to distinguish.

Specifics:
Red and Green mean that color blind people sometimes miss spotting an enemy army.
Blue and Yellow are much easier to distinguish.

Suggestion:
If it is not too ornerous a task, please change the defualt starting colours to Blue and Yellow for 2 player games.

yup. one of the most common blindnesses is the one where you can't distinguish red and green.
my father has this colourblindness as well.
he sees all colours well, except red and green.

this problem will be fixed when lackattack brings reality to This Suggestion though.

I sympathize with the colour blind among us, but I find Yellow very hard to read on the white background. Maybe Red and Blue? For my money, Yellow should be the last colour used of all.

I too am colorblind. I cant even play on maps where the bonus borders blend together like N America, and Africa for example.
I ALWAYS miss terts in red vs green. Personally, Yellow is the only color I see in its natural form, but that doesnt really matter.

the two default colors should be red and blue
Whoever decided red and green, I think it was a very poor and counterintuitive decision
