All the map needs is a color picker, for the grid cords.. it is a very simple customization, that will help for Color blind, and those with not so great eye site, or even those that just like things to pop.

give is 12/24/36 colors, i dunno the right number, But we do have a ton to choose from, just look at the colors being sold, so in theory, they should have no issue with using any of them.

Then under options, and video, add an advanced Map settings, that shows you a mini map on EVERY single map in game, and then gives us the option to change the color for each map, as the maps are all different now.

I like the way it's going, but it does need that extra coat of polish. A little GUI work, and a little coding, should be very do-able.


That said, I would actually like other things customization as well, Like icons, Or for example, increasing the size of the cap points in conquest, with a larger Block letter inside to easily see which cap point is close.. ect.. So cap points, base points, dom-circle,, ect.. i think all could be customization with out to much effort. the code should all be there, and setting a variable is really the only thing to add outside of the GUI update.

Color pick would indeed be a nice idea. I support this. Tweet it to Russ though.

needs a font size selector as well then. or if this is all part of their future plan to make the map zoomable, then font needs to be scale sensitive

Yes, a font scale would be nice too.. Never even thought about that! I'm always increasing font sizes in games that give me that option.

just invert the color on a pixel by pixel basis.
