As a color blind individual (a person living with color blindness) I really appreciate the ability to show color codes next to troops on the map. It's extremely hard for me to distinguish between the red and green text. (For that matter, I wish the default colors for maps weren't red and green).
I also really appreciate the new text maps. It's sometimes hard to figure out where the borders of a bonus region are, and I also think it's useful to see that I happen to control 4 out of 5 of that region.
I find it very difficult to distinguish between the red and green 'text map' text.
Click settings under the personal menu on the left hand side of your screen. Scroll down to game settings and at the bottom click the on button for color codes.
