My army color

I was surprised I didn't find this suggested anywhere, maybe I missed it. I'm new here so maybe its just me, but I get confused sometimes when I switch to my different games and have to look over 10 times a minute to remind myself which color I am in that game. I would like to see it where you are always the same color. Ideally you could set what color you want to be in your profile or at the start of each game or whatever, but I would like to be one color in every game.

Makes sense to me, however I could see issues arising in team games when player x tells blue to attack red.

ok, after casually browsing, i did find a similar suggestion to this one after not finding it actually searching for one. however, in that one, people fighting over colors is an issue. what i mean is just for your view you are that color you chose. they can be whatever they want on their pc. so i can be red in every game i'm in and someone in a game with me can be red on their account in that same game. doesn't seem like it would be too hard to implement and would make it lots easier for moi.

i have friends who play this game that start them, just not possible for me (i know you were half-way kidding)

this is true. perhaps as you join the game, you get a number in front of it. so if you started the game and were blue you would be "1 Tr0y" in blue and i joined next i would be "2 bayoupimp" in red (assuming those are the colors we'd choose, if we both chose red, you would be red on yours and i would be red on mine and the other would be blue or whatever). that way, player 3 could tell player 4 to attack player 1 instead of colors.

No, I agree that its a problem because people often communicate to each other by color name. Adding a number in front wouldn't matter because you can already just say the username if you want to. Many people just say "red, lets do this" for example. If you changed it so the colors differed from player to player this would be extremely confusing and I'm sure many people would forget to use the players names instead of their colors.
