Your favorite colors of RTS

[Procyon]

What are your favorite colors playing a RTS as skirmish/multiplay?

Mine are: Black (if possible), Green, Teal (or sky blue)and Blue.

[thomas]

depends on the units.

in HW2 I like black/white (with a white maltese cross) or red/yellow.

in CnC genersl I like red for china, regal blue for US and either a green or tan for GLA

in SC I like red/brown for zerg, tan/green for protoss, and blue/black/grey for terran.

[ordos45]

Gray, black, or white usually.  Sometimes Teal is nice, easy to identify on the mini map.

[Seal89999]

Im usually a Red person but sometimes the ocational tan or green.

[Caid Ivik]

Depending on what best suits as camo for minimap...

[Cyborg]

I use red where available!

[Khan]

I like turquoise(sp?) or dark green the most.

[Kiyouta]

I like light blue and orange

[Andrew]

I think I like Red and Blue, but that is because of C&C Red Alert.

[Vanguard3000]

Wheheh, than you were doing it wrong as Alterac was Orange :)

I like most colors... but i do NOT like pink

[GhostHunter]

Lol, I love pink for Emperor when I'm Atreides just to piss people off. Big, bad Vilgent with his badass Atreides...and his pink...But I tend to pick blue and then red, probably followed by green or yellow.

[Timenn]

Well, in Tiberian Sun I took green. Because then your base just looked like another Tiberium Field on the minimap. Quite confusing for other players ;D

Haha, I got a good laugh from this. So true..haha..

True, but Alterac was weak.

I remember I once made a single player map called "The Battle of New Stormwind" where you played the yellow "alliance traitors" who were hiding in a forest, and you'd have to attack the corrupted kingdom of New Stormwind (white).  Not to toot my own horn or anything, but it was a pretty good map, as I recall.

[Terror]

I don't believe that was in the official story ;)

I bet it was the only human color left that wasn't in use by any of the other kingdoms....

but alrighty, so how would you call their kingdom? Yellowrac?

[Vanguard3000]

In my mission, they were just as they were described - Alliance Traitors.  That's why I made them yellow.  That, and I'm quite fond of yellow.

You see, to the corrupt king of New Stormwind, they would be nothing more than rebels hiding in the forest.  In my map, you're attacked by a searching gryphon almost immediately (you have enough archers to easily take it out, but you'll probably lose a few.)  It makes sure you're on your toes from the get-go.  ;)
