Lincoln vs. FDR?

A friend of mine is shaking his head here now, over us fighting over what colour we should be able to be...

- Why am I Mr. Pink? How about if I'm Mr. Purple? That sounds good to me, I'll be Mr. Purple.

- You're not Mr. Purple. Some guy on some other job is Mr. Purple. You're Mr. Pink!

- Who cares what your name is?

- Yeah that's easy for you to say, you're Mr. White, you have a cool sounding name. All right look if it's no big deal to be Mr. Pink, do you wanna trade?

If we can have two civs, each with a different leader, what would each be called? Americans-1 and Americans-2? FDR Faction and Washington Faction? I'll stick with different civs.

[Wise Ass]

well America is probably the easiest one- America/The United States.

Others like France would be tougher.

hmmm....

Arabs/?
Aztecs/?
China/Peoples Republic of China
Eqypt/?
England/United Kingdom
French/Frogs
Germany/Prussia
Greeks/?
Inca/?
India/?
Japan/?
Mali/?
Mongols/ruthless bastards
Persia/?
Eastern Roman Empire/Western Roman Empire/Italy
Russia/USSR-Soviet Union-Soviets (which ever)
Spain/?

French Republic/Kingdom of France
Macedonia/Greek cities
Mali/Songhay/Ghana (admittedly not the same Civ, but we tend to accept some confusion there )
Persia/Seleucids

Actually, there is no reason that the player shouldn't be allowed to pick the color for everyone, in SP and MP. It's just the color shown on his screen. The computer knows the difference.

For SP, the colors for that number of players could be randomly assigned, but allow the human, who is the only entity that cares, to change them at whim.

And it won't matter in MP, because all the machines still know the difference. If I want to assign fluffy pink to a particular other player, it shouldn't matter. Only my machine needs to know that for Player ID #4, to use the fluffy pink palette. On his machine, he can be set to his favorite royal purple, and have me assigned with a Big Red scheme.

This would be a good thing, as it would mean that color blind people could then pick colors that suit their particular vision range.

A friend of mine has trouble telling brown from green. He has a lot of difficulty with his farm placement in SMAC.

It'd be funny if Eastern Roman Empire started in the West and Western in the East

[Wise Ass]

I wonder if that would make them a confused and backwards people? :hmm:

They could just use an easy auto-civ-name generator that jus splits the civ into north and south, or east and west... so if China splits in north and south, the civ in the north is called "North China", and the civ in the south is called... can we have a guess?

It's simple, and doesn't give the weird cases where China splits into Egypt and China

This sounds like a good idea, shouldn't be hard to implement

A good idea.

.......

As long as North China don't split to f.ex. North North China or South North China...
