Make player color persistent across the team.

Having different colored players isn't very useful if everyone's blue on their own screen.

Sometimes while playing on discord I forget names and it would really just be nice to be able to say "yellow" and the person who is on my screen as yellow knows I'm talking about them because they're yellow on their own screen.

Not a big deal but a QoL change.

If...if...We didn't love freedom enough...We purely and simply deserved everything that happened afterward.”

For example, I play 4v4s. When things get hectic, it gets hard for me to concentrate. If someone's sniper is getting flanked and I want to remind them, but I forgot what color is who, all I can do is ping the unit and say "hey watch your sniper!"

If I could see at a glance that his unit is green, even if I forgot his name I can say "green watch your sniper!" and that's infinitely more helpful.

I agree. It would be nice to have per default always the same color for all players view. 4 colors associate to Allies and 4 colors associate to Axe (except for the case of mirror games with 8 Allied or 8 Axe).

And also an option to disable it for accessibility reason.

They broke post-games stats' colors years ago. I asked once to return how it was previously: e. g. cyan player ig showed as cyan at match stats screen. Ignored. The thing you ask never gets in the game whatsoever despite useful it or not.

Im not use to seeing my units that not in Blue. However I understand that.
As I play with friends in 4v4 and friend said "whats this yellow guy doing?"

To my PoV, yellow was my friend.

To be fair I think he maybe means that he wants the option to give teammates a unique color but give enemies a uniform red.

If that isn't what he's saying then lmao
