    Default New faction minimap colors mod

    I've started redoing some of the faction colors on the minimap that needed improving, especially the Khwarezm Shahdom. The first file just does the Shahdom, the second does more factions.

    Right now I just changed their borders to black since it matches the crescent color, but I may change the green to something a little more appealing later on.

    Compatable with SS version 6.0 (and 6.1 patch). Drop in your main SS data folder (rename the file to just descr_sm_factions first, though) to use. NOT compatable with any other mod that alters descr_sm_factions. Make sure to back-up your original incase you don't like it.

    Changes: Kwarezm borders are now black to match the Crescent on their flag.
    Sicily now has black borders so its easier to see them around rebels
    Aragon has more appropriate colors
    Templars have red borders
    Teutonic Order is now white with black borders instead of black with white.
    Rebels border color is a bit less white and more gray (though not much)

    Great work,

    Would be nice if you made the colours for France a really dark blue, and a shiny gold as these are their real colours

    The ones presently do not give France any credit imo

    Thats a good idea but it might look too similar to Scotland. I'll think about it though and see if I can't improve it sometime.

    Perhaps you could change the colors of the Byzantines. That purple and red is putrid. The Byzantines should have a dark red and a dull yellow.
