Description


I found a lot of the colour combinations given to leaders in the base game either ugly or nonsensical. This radicalised me so I had to make a mod to fix it.

The aim was to make aesthetically pleasing colour combinations based either on historical sources, or complementing the leaders' character models!

(Brief justifications for each 'jersey' I've assigned are included playercolors.sql file as comments alongside the newly defined colours / colors. Please feel free to provide suggestions/alterations, or to ask for more detail if interested!)

Tried verifying the cache. It worked after that. Thanks.

check your steam workshop folder, make sure its actually downloaded. if steam's done its job and downloaded it into your mod folder, there's no reason for it not to show up.

Downloaded from the workshop, but it doesn't show up in the add-on list in game.

there can't be two leaders with a white background: the jersey system means that one of those leaders will use one of their alternate jerseys instead in that case. the only possible confusion is city states, but these have other big aesthetic differences from civs, and are the only ones to pair white with black. i get your complaint, but vanilla civ 7 also has white background leaders, and im reluctant to abandon all white backgrounds unless it's more people than just you who find it confusing.

Special cases: Leader with white background colour as neighbour of a city state or of an other leader with white background colour. On the map not amusiing.

Different background colours are useful on the map. With different background colours You can see at first glance which territory is owned by which leader. On the map the icon colours dont help very much, especially to see the frontiers..

i could replace all the current white background leaders with an off-white for clarity if more people agree! i personally find it easy to distinguish because all the white background leaders have a distinct secondary colour, but lmk anyone if you disagree, as this is defo something that can be adjusted.

Already City States use white background colour. There no leader should use white background colour.

Love how much thought you put into this mod! Well done!

his colours are fine! so i left them as-is. there wasn't much comment to make, either: everyone knows theyre based on the american flag, and they also suit his character model.
