players colors in games

Post by juve-nile »

can I see somewhere which player colors are used / available for different games?

it will affect and is important for which colors I choose as my preferred customized ones.

Not really. I mean you can see by playing the game, but there isn't a separate list anywhere for each game. You can only set one list of preferred colours anyway, not per game.

thanks. i guess then i will choose replays with very large player counts for the games im interested in to see the colors.

I know I cannot set a list per each game but I will adjust it so that I ensure the colors in my list cover lots of different games, even if I prefer some other (much rarer) colors over them.

Don't get too excited, though. Your preferred colour will only work if there are no other premium players at the table, otherwise there may be conflicts and you'll get your 2nd, 3rd... or a random colour. It will also depend on how the game is coded (you may think it's yellowish, but it's coded as brown, or grey, or none), and for asymmetric games it will just not work (you don't get to choose faction first just because you're premium).

And also some games just don't respect player colour preferences either.
