what @Ziraellie was trying to say is the enemy has the same color as you, and when many units clash it makes it very hard to distinguish which ones are your units

great mod, I would strongly advise to not have allied\player unit markers colored in red: I would have enemy units have their own, separate color scheme, red and similar colors, and player units green\blue variations

@변하은 Not quite sure what do you mean. I think, there might be a misunderstanding, this mod ONLY changes the unit category icons (a.k.a. unit markers in the game settings). The unit card background color on the screenshots - the result of work of a [url]Skidvar's Coloured Unit Cards for Vanilla Units[/url] mod. I didn't reimplement the unit card backround coloring. In other words - the full extent of changes this mod implements is displayed on the thumbnail image.
If i misunderstod your question - please correct me and clarify your request once again.

sir Can you upload a version with only the unit card colors removed?

@Zireaellie Well, sorry that such a problem arised for you. One of the goals of this is mod is to make colored category icons (its predecessor) more readable. And I thought that I've did it sufficiently (at least, i can distinguish units of different armies most of the time). If you would like to give this mod a second chance, I would recommend to play a little with the marker size setting in the "Game settings" menu, making marker bigger will make the frame bigger as well (from 2 up to 4px). Not sure if it is possible to make it better in any other way; making icons even smaller makes them look bad imo.

You cant figure out which units are yours.

Thanks

@Narikyou, identically to how it affects yours. This mod recolors category icons itself (same as the predecessor in that regard), so it will affect any units identically. Though, they will have different frame around colored icons (yours is yellow, enemies is red, allies is blue). Obviously, it will make it harder to distinguish your own units from enemies, but not drastically thanks to the frame.
Thanks for the question, gave me an idea what I should add to the mod's gallery.

How will this affect friend or foe units?

@Garviel Loken, a slightly belated response, but if you want to use my assets, there is a link to the archive with them in this discussion . The mod itself is a blatantly simple image-editing work, so I guess it wouldn't be hard to re-implement it in Rome 2.

amazing! going to see if I can reverse engineer this for Rome 2, DEI especially! After years of same color unit categories, this does such a good job differentiating units

Reminds me of the colored unit card mod in Shogun 2, except it's waaaaay better. Keep up the great work! :p
