More player colours please

Would love a wider variety of colours, or the ability to create custom colours. More shades of blue, red, yellow and green would be ideal!

If you go to Settings>Accessibility, you can customize the player colors however you would like.

I would recommend keeping them broadly the same (P1 is bluish, P2 is reddish) just so multiplayer callouts still make sense (ie ‘rush Red’)

Important tip.

I wish the game had kept the same colors, they were really good. P3 was green, a dark green. P4 was cyan. P5 was pink. P6 was yellow.

Yellow as player 3 doesn’t make much sense. It would be better to keep the primary colors as the first three: (RGB) Red, Blue, Green. Then the variants of those.

for the first three colors they went for the ‘‘real’’ color theory. that’s why the three primary colors are blue, red and yellow. This is how most rts games do it. I don’t know why exactly they changed that in the original AoM to RGB. Older AoE games are also using yellow for the third player. But i’m fine with both directions. On the end we have both colors to choose from anyway. The only color i don’t like is the ‘‘flesh’’ color. And puple and pink are too similar. Purple should be a little bit darker/more bluish in my opinion. But you can customize them anyway for your liking so problems like this are no real problems in the end.

But i think 12 colors are totally fine. Many different shades of the same colors could get confusing :smiley:

Personally I wish it just let us pick our colours when playing ranked. Either the aoe4 system where it’s first-come first-serve, or the aoe2 system where player/team 1 gets to choose from odd numberer colours and player 2 can choose even numbered colours.

Oh, thanks I didn’t know you could do that. Thanks!

Edit: Looking at it, a few more slots for custom colours would be ideal :slight_smile: Another row would be fine :+1:

Hm, I understand. I didn’t know that, but this particularity made our AOM even more unique, don’t you think? I love evolutions when they respect tradition, and there’s even a quote that says: ‘There is only evolution within a tradition.’ It would have been nice if they had respected this and many other aspects of the original AOM while making improvements to the game. After all, these aspects were part of the game’s life for two decades.
