Will custom colours be available?
I'm just wondering if Civ 3 will allow players to create their own custom colours to be used for things such as borders and flags. Maybe I can supply a sample, say, as a bitmap file?

Yes, yes, my Gaian friend, that is a very fine idea.

Possibly. The screenshots that have been released thus far seem to indicate at least Hi-Color (64 binary thousands of colours), and since each custom colour would need to be shaded accurately (notice each unit is coloured by the Civ's colour), I'd be surprised if such a feature was included.

I don't know if that will be in, but what I'd more like to see (now we're talking about colors) is the ability to choose which color you want to be, instead of the Zulu's always be green and so, or at least make it random for each game. Does anyone know if this will be posible?

Choosing custom colours can be important if you're colour-blind. Custom colours should not be necessary if games are implemented properly. The resolution of today's equipment should make possible unique emblems for each of several sides, such as national flags with units. At a minimum, a simple, bold design in two colours should be easy to implement.

Diva,

That's an interesting idea. The ability to customise is always A Good Thing.


Snappy,

Hm, the least one can do is to specify colour in the HTML way, i.e., in hex triplets. Even with only 8-bits per colour that's still a whole lot one can choose from.
