    Can only be better than the original rome total war colors.

    As long as no factions get pink as their color it should be fine. Preferably nothing too bright that looks unrealistic for the fabric colors available at the time.

    What I would like to see though, is some differences here and there within a faction. Praetorians having something different than the usual roman red for example. Like dark blue, dark purple or something like that.

    I Just Realized, That Faction Uniform Color DOES NOT HAVE to be similar with Faction Icon Color itself in Warscape.
    For Instance:
    Imperial Russian Army Main Uniform Color is Green...But The Flag Have no Green at All...
    or
    Why Does Confederate Uniform is Grey? There's no Grey color in any of CSA's Three Flags...
    or
    In S2TW, Tokugawa Clan Faction Color is White-Gold, but Their 16th Century Uniform Color are Brown-White-Gold
    ; and Their FoTS (Edo Domain) 19th Century Uniform Colors are Blue-Blue-Gold

    Not To Mention there are Some Special Units with Its Own Unique Color that overrides Faction Colors. e.g. Ninjas Uniforms are Always Black regardless of The Factions.

    Thats an Very Good Example...
    For Instance:
    Argyraspides (Silver Shields) will always wear Silver, even though its (may) not Seleucids' Official Faction Colors.

    Look at The Berserkers...do They wear Purple Pelts? Animal Hide Textures are not Color-Masked...(But sadly Their Trousers are)

    I see it That The Faction Icon Colors itself should Be Colorful...but The Regular Uniform Colors should be kind of Natural, not Loud...
    Elite or Special Units should Have Its own Unique Colors

    This just Crossed My Minds:
    We Always see that Roman Legions are always depicted in Red, but Does Red-Gold is the Official State Color of Rome? Or Most Legions DO wear Red as Their Uniform?

    How About Other States?

    I am me. You are not me. You are you. If I was you, I wouldn't be me.
    If you were me, I'd be sad.But I wouldn't then be me because you'd be me so you wouldn't be me because I wasn't me because you were me but you couldn't be because I'd be a different me. I'd rather be any kind of bird (apart from a goose) than be you because to be you I'd have to not be me which I couldn't do unless someone else was me but then they would be you aswell so there would still be no me. They would be you because I was you so to restore balance you would have to be me and them meaning all three of us would become one continously the same. That would be very bad.

    Filed in the same wastebin as "Native languages for all factions" and "Rowers on ships" most likely.

    I've never liked how Total War splits factions up by color. Units should have a lot of color detail and variance, and only have coloring that would have made sense.. but not arcade, faction wide coloring. The only way you should be able to tell units apart is via flags and armor aesthetics.. not every unit in the army being neon green *cough* Fall of the Samurai *cough*

    Thank goodness Noif fixed that for us. I dunno if it'll be possible for modders to fix the colors with how they've said this game will be modder unfriendly.

    I actually really like faction colours. Maybe it's just me but it's like a throwback to the old RTS days when factions were defined by colour - Red Alert, AOE, Warcraft. For me the colour scheme of a faction also contributes towards their identity, I will always assosiate Carthage with white and Romans with red, Seleucids with silver.

    I like the uniformity of it.

    I'm pretty sure colour uniformity applies to the overwhelming majority of all strategy games ever made.

    Couldn't agree more. It Adds alot to the factions identity on the battlefield.

    Your probably right - but the total war series is the only modern strategy game I play. So when I think of RTS I think of Command and Conquer and their ilk.

    The Parthia Reveal is Quite Interesting:

    Note The Faction Colors...



    Then Compare with The Uniform Color...



    See? The Faction use Purple-Gold-Black, however The Unit Uniform Use Orange as Primary Color!

    Interestingly, unlike other Factions revealed so far, only Parthia is given by CA differing color between The Faction Color and Uniform Color.

    Well, If we talk about The Parthians of R2TW's Starting Date, we have to also talk about The Seleucids...

    Now, What would the Colors of The Seleucids and The Ptolemies? Lets hear your Opinion!
    (Sorry couldn't resist)

    I don't think you can judge from a single unit. A full roster will have to been seen to justify the entire "unit colours" argument. I hope they are faction colour coded.

    Or Perhaps only The Parthian Royal Cataphracts wore Orange Uniform? If Right, this confirms Special Colors for Particular Units, say Elites; at least for the moment...
    However, why would they wore Brownish Orange?
    Well, its a Pre-Alpha they say...

    EDIT:...Or is it just a Texture without color mask? In other words, The Vest is Brown Naturally, without uniform color added?

    Either way...I dont see Parthia's own faction Color on one of her more well-known units...which, maybe, means not all units are color coded...
