* Suggestion Idea: Colour indicator on the drop downs

* Specifics: Looking at the map gives you the most information (next to some of the amazing scripts). As the maps get larger and more complicated, more clarity will be needed. Most maps already have a colour (I think only 3 don't) for a specific bonus area and would be assigned in that manner.

* Why it is needed: This adds some clarity and this will enable players to locate territories faster and will allow new members to learn maps faster and hopefully keep them here longer.

Eg:
W.Europe
India
Ontario

BOB colors the terrtories according to who owns them, if the territory is owned by blue it is colored blue

It's an excellent suggestion, however, it has already been done as a feature included with many of the various Greasemonkey scripts. Therefore, if you feel like playing without the AJAX system enabled you are good to go. However, if you really like AJAX (like me) you will have to wait until someone finally figures out how to get the scripts working again.

I know there are several guys working on it, but it may still take a bit of time to get it finished.

I was thinking more of territory location than ownership. Do any of the scripts actually colour by location. I have several scripts and none show this. Which one shows territory location by colour?

The reason why BOB is able to do it by player is because the colors of the players do not vary according to map/game (at least not yet).

The colors of the bonus areas on each map is dependent on each map and is probably just hard-coded into that map (no tag in the XML). Changing it would require a change to both the maps database and XML feed for each map. So, it's not just a simple fix.

Although, they might be able to do something when they do player selected colors (as the XML will need to be changed then).

As far as I know, the continents don't have colors in the XML. Its just in the image of the map.
