I just want to say that i would really love to have the actual teamcolor of the factions as the banner color. (could be an option in the settings)

More colors prevalent like an official age of colors mod in base game would be fantastic!

Does anyone know if there's been any update in the game since that addressed this issue? I'd love to play this game but without a fix for the colour issues, the game is sadly unplayable for me.
There is an update to the banners in a battle. The colours are the same, but the shape of enemy banners are now different than your own armies.

Great, thanks. I'd still prefer it to be different or customisable colours. I'm not sure if this minor icon change will be visible on big TV screen.It was talked about in the last dev diary. This image is from there:
I like customizable colours, but this is at least something. I also play on TV (though don't have any colour blindness) and it's definitely visible, but not sure how easy for those that only have the shape to go on.
I'm not colourblind personally.
But don't a lot of games have "colour blind modes" these days? I do remember seeing it under options in several games where features rely on a red-green contrast.
So yes, there should definitely be an option to switch it to two colours who don't affect the common forms of colour blindness.

Don't get me started. I've never played a game where the colorblind mode worked for me. There is somehow a huge misunderstanding in the video game industry about how colorblind filters work. They were designed to demonstrate to non-colorblind people what colorblindness looks like. They don't "fix" colors to make them easier for colorblind people to see (that's impossible to do). I have deuteranopia, and the deuteranopia mode is always the one that either changes nothing for me, or even makes the colors worse. Sometimes the tritanopia mode happens to help me by pure happenstance of a game's color pallete, but it usually takes a game's colors into the uncanny valley.
The top 3 fixes for colorblindness are always 1) let people set their own UI colors, 2) have shapes for every color, and 3) hand design a color palette by working with colorblind people. It will rely more on contrast than hues, or you could have a custom color palette for each type of color-blindness. But the worst thing a game developer can do is use a so-called "colorblind filter" mode. I'm really not exagerating when I say that I try them every time, and not a single one has ever helped. It's exasperating that they have somehow become the standard solution.
