Spain, Aragon and England

**IZob** · December 07, 2009, 07:18 PM

Hello SS people and Dev's.

I have a question to ask about Spain Aragon and England. Specifically their primary and secondary colors on the campaign map and battle field. For those of you who have done some research into the history of each of these factions you would know that they all shair 2 common colors. Yellow and red.

Now currently I'm making my own mod (It doesn't have any SS material btw) and I'm finding it like hell to find two colors to separate Aragon for England and Spain. Historically Aragon is red and yellow. But how do you keep Aragon from looking the same as england or Spain, I don't know.

I'm wondering what you people have done with England, Spain and Aragon?

Thankyou

England is more Red Dominant while Aragon and Castille-Leon are more Yellow dominant

Spain doesn't exist. (it occurs with the marriage of Ferdinand of Aragon and Isabella of Castille-Leon)

In MTW1 Aragon had a pink look on the Map, which might help in distinguishing them.

I ment Castille-Leon. Its just easier to say Spain

Could you upload a picture of the campagin map (the small box map in the corner will do) so I can get a better idea of what its like? Pink isnt the ideal color I'd like for Aragon...

Aragon is an orange color in SS

The moors are Orange in vanilla. Have they been changed?

Monkey1.jpg is of England

Monkey2.jpg is of Castille-Leon

Monkey3.jpg is of Aragon

Monkey4.jpg is of the three factions' shields

I put the English Dismounted Feudal Knights and light men at arms side by side. The AI put the feudal knights in front and you can see the light men at arms behind.

EDIT: I must've attached them in the wrong order. England is the first, followed by Aragon then the faction shields then Castille-Leon

EDIT AGAIN: The fourth factino shield is that of the Moors

Ahhh thank you for that, much appreciated. England look very cool.

I see there is a noticeable difference between 'Spain' and Aragon. Aragon has richer colors while 'Spain' has a more faded look (The red and yellow isn't as vibrant as Aragons is). Theres an obivous difference in the faction symbols so its easy to distinguish who's who. But what about the campaign map? Thats what I'm most interested in.

I always distinguish between aragon and castille by saying aragon has stripes and castille doesn't.

Do you mean the captain/general models?

I didn't include England - they're just plain red.

No those to will do fine

What I was looking for specifically was the primary and secondary colors. The primary color is always the color of the flags and the center of the regions on the small map. The secondary color is the outline color along the borders of the regions. 'Spain' has as I can see, yellow prim and red second. Aragon has a almost pale tan prim color and blue secondary color.

Thank you for the help (and your secrets muahhahahahah... nah I jk)
