Romans Wear Red

FINALLY UPDATED

Here's a simple mod I made that changes the battlefield color of Eastern Empire units from Purple to Red. The campaign map remains unaffected because I have not figured out how to change campaign map colors.

The reason for this is that in this time in history purple dye was extremely rare and expensive to make, one of the reason among many that the color purple became associated with royalty. As such I always just found it distracting to see thousands of soldiers carrying on on the battlefield in purple.

Note about the screenshots: I am running on the lowest setting of unit detail so there may be changes that you wouldn't see in those screenshots. Also I am using the wonderful "Standard Bearers for Every Unit of E/W Rome" mod to illustrate the difference. It's a good mod I suggest you check it out http://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=436104649
