Idea for Rise of Nations Multi Player

[felder]

I think it would be cool to have an option to be able to hide who is playing which color. Currently if you play with only a few people...say two or three and you fill the rest of the slots with computer players, typically the humans will go after each other first. Once all the human players but one are dead there is hardly any point in continuing. This could be done by randomizing the colors once game play starts, thus allowing you to setup muliple people controlling a single nation and what not during the pregame. This is different from hide nation, because with hide nation you still know which color each player is.

Also I think it'd make for an interesting dynamic for there to be an option to hide nation colors so that everyone showed up as white except for yourself. This way when fighting you'd have no idea who it was that you were attacking or who was attacking you. This would of course work best with no alliance games.

What do you think?

I think those are great ideas. Definitely would enhance the game.
