Uniform colors / unit colors - No NATION COLORS ANYMORE!

[Stratego (dev)]

THI IS DECIDEED ALREADY: NO NATION COLORS ANYMORE!

Currently in game all nations have their own uniform colors for better differentiating whiich player has those units
it is on all units so like ships, tanks, planes, infantry.

Drejade sent us very nice reskin images but they dont have these differentiation, meaning during playing the units are harder to know which is yours and which is the opponent's units.


If we are about to remove the current national coloring than we need to
- make all other units change its uniform coloring to real paint colorings (ships/planes/tanks)
- change the engine so that unit tiles being colored based on teamcoloring - or any similar solution so players see the unit owners:drawback is that the whole map would look like pink/green spots on each occupied tiles -> ruining the "natural" look of the terrain and maps
- ALTERNATIVELY: we can drasically increase the teamcolored parts on unit images eg. full legs being teamcolored, or whole uniform (but that would ruin units look...
- OR ALTERNATIVELY: please suggest other way to show unit owner player a way that nit ruins appearance
(also this change would affect all alternatives)
).


so please give me your thoughts what would you suggest
a) forget the current nation coloring. todo:
-> graphics: making all other units lose its national coloring,
-> coding: making a teamcoloring button to show ownership (and maybe by deafult turned on)
b) keepin the current national colors. todo:
-> graphics: the new infantry colors should be adjusted to have those uniform colors

Honestly I don't think it would be that hard to recognize)
I made this units in consideration of being able to recognize them from a far and having big enough team color (besides Soviets) to be easily seen.

(But I think after I'm done with all faction reskin, I might be able to easily recolor then to their in game theme colors.)

acutally only Russian is differing enough in theme color to easier distinguish, the others look very similar in a zoom-out case (i mean by the default zoom of the game)

I might be able to easily recolor then to their in game theme colors

awesome! thanks!

I am about to forget this "forced" nation-coloring of units, so we can have more historically accurate appearances.

so i say from now no need to "nation-color" unit images (as most skins already have various (realistic) colors)

If this is so then I think I have posted their more realistic color here in the forum already...
