Maybe it's just me, but one certain maps I find green and red very hard to distinguish. Makes it a bit annoying LOL. Any chance green can be changed to black?

Do you have grease monkey? If so, make sure to get the color blind script. If not, look for the link here http://www.conquerclub.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=8801 which is stickied at the top of the general board.

I'm afraid you can't get much different than red and green the problem seems to be color blindness.

not just any form of color blindness it's protanopia or deuteranopia because he strictly complains about green and red. for other colours there are different colour blindnesses :)

go here http://www.toledo-bend.com/colorblind/Ishihara.html
and do a colour blindness test. at the bottom of the page you have the results.

I find red and pink difficult to tell apart at times on the board, and I've never had any trouble with colour blindness :?

most people have a form of colour blindness or at least a colour detection impairity. probably you have a slight problem with the red spectrum.

That's funny; according to Star Trek cannon, Klingons cannot see the color red (this is analogous to deer being unable to see orange camo). 8)

Funny that the redshirts are always the first to die then :wink:

I also doubt pink has much of a place in Klingon culture :lol:

I love this site. For $20, I can play unlimited games. And then, on top of that, I am learning all kinds of terms for my vision impairment. I always suspected I was colour blind. Now I'm 100% sure.

Thanks for the tips all.
