Firaxis, Will Civs No Longer Be Rigidly Grouped By Color?

No need to bump this, I am sure that if Firaxis is implementing unique civs or any element of civs not simply being names and actually having differences that they will not be grouped by color and that you can pick your opponents or simply have the computer do so randomly.

I like the small flag myself.

How about a color wheel or palette? You can choose any color for each of the (say) 7 slots, or however many slots there will be. Or a unique color for each civ. That will be solve any problems for the colorblind, such as myself. I never had any problems with Civ2's colors, but someone might have. And it would just be a nice feature for scenario makers: allied civs could have different shades of the same colors, for example; you could indicate blocs that way.
