- no additional colours pls
- 1 - 2 more
- 3+ more
things to consider:
- colour blindness … we shouldnt make the game more annoying for them
- readability in general … there is only a limited ammount of ‘distinct’ colours and in the middle of a battle there is no time to distinguish between crimson, vermilion or ruby
what colour should be added?
- white
- grey
- black (cool, but unit readability is suffering)
- brown
- another red
- another orange
- another yellow
- another green
- another blue
- another purple
- other

Yeah i know that, i just meant to have say 10 ‘slots’ instead of the 8 … got kicked twice yesterday, just because someone wanted to have ‘his’ colour xD
Also there are often 2 guys on 4v4 that cant figure out what colours are left to choose

Age of Mythology had 12 player slots and thus 12 playable colors. We could probably have 12 colors in AoE3:DE, even without increasing player slot count.
Compare to AOE3
There are SOME unused colors in AOE3, but most are just shades of grey and they don’t actually look good on the mini map, making them hard to see.

Just give us 12 players like AoM again.
I assume the engine can handle that. Not sure how much work it would be to add 4 more players.
Would all random maps have to be reworked?

Yes. We can find them in the scenario editor.
brown
Mother nature (guardians and animals) already uses the brown color.
white
And white is reserved for free trading posts
I don’t think it makes sense to make these colors available (apart from accessibility options)

Honestly when it comes to new colors it doesn’t feel like a lacking feature as @EaglemutOP mentioned the wonderful accessibility tool.

OP’s problem is was players fighting over who gets what colors. xD

Play ranked and you won’t have such issue.
