Blue Portugal: It is time.

[Johan]

Colors for the classical major powers have been the same since eu1 though.

If we change Portugal we would be forced to change Prussia as well.


I'm not saying no though, but I am not saying yes either.

I think Portugal is green just because they gave the colours to other western european countries and then when they got to Portugal they wanted to have a different colour, not one that was repeated, so they chose the only "major" colour available.

England - red for historical reasons
France - blue for historial reasons (white could work as well)
Spain - yellow for historical reasons
Austria - white because red was already taken and even yellow was as well
Aragon - dark red-orange thing who cares it is meant to be annexed by Castile (dev mind)
Burgundy - burgundish colour because it matches the name, eh? also the same as Aragon, it's supposed to become part of France or Austria or Spain (dev mind)

Burgundy and Aragon was not on the map in the original eu1 which had a 1492 start date. We also only had 31 colors in total that could be used on the map so many countries shared colors. We also had to use the same colors for terrain in the terrain mapmode.

Its 25 years ago though since we assigned colors, so I don't remember why on every country, but I think France, Sweden and Water were the blue priorities.

I am a fan of blue Portugal. I don't really want to open the can of worms of fiddling around with major power colours in a 10 year old game, but if I did then I would probably just swap Portugal and Tlemcen.

As the reigning Devclash champion with Portugal/Brazil, I give my vote to Blue Portugal. This way, when they are eventually replaced by their much cooler green overlords in games, it will be much easier to notice on the map.

(PS: Some people may reply here saying that as they have XYZ amount of Devclash trophies, their votes are worth more. Not true, since I currently own the champion belt )
