Some of you have maybe noticed the flags on the castles in the screens? We are going to have custom flags, much like the cape system in GuildWars.

Custom unit colors is something we have thought of, but we aren't commited to the idea as of yet. On a side note though, incase of two colours being the same, we could always make it so you have 2 different color variations, much like sports teams have 2 different jerseys. So if the first one blends too much you can go with Colour B.

Sick, I love custom banners. It gives your army a unique look.

Custom banners sounds good, custom color schemes can be confusig however.

Like changing the emblem on the banners? Or just the pattern?

Well, there's always the possibility in a team game where there is no combination of primary or secondary colours that results in a non-ambiguous colour pattern for each faction. Moreover, you still have to deal with distinguishing which shades are sufficiantly different, and all different types of colour-blindness. Then you have the issue where red/black is confuseable with black/red. Then you have to make certain that colour types do not provide camouflage on certain maps. I think it's much easier and less problem-prone to keep some basic colours, and then allow people to have a variety of patterns.
