Alright, some pre-emptive work has begun.

Colours! Lets get a proper colour list by faction.

There is three colour sets, I'm guessing primary, secondary and teritary.

Still working on changing the actual map colours, but some units seem to be affected by faction colours (i did a battle, and some prussian units where black/white like I changed it too, and most where still blue/white)

So, once I figure out what the effect of each one is, I can do that as a start.

So, historically (or close to, not looking for exact accuracy) correct colours?

If I'm right, not every regiment back then would have had "faction colours".
Minutemen for example if you read their description, you'll see they have no uniforms at all!

Not every unit type would have the same secondary or even primary colors. As for the campaign map faction colors, this is slightely easier.

Great Britain: bright red
France: white
Spain: yellow
Russia: dark green
Prussia: grey or black
Austria: gold and black
Sweden: bright blue
Netherlands: orange
Portugal:light green
Bavaria: light blue
Ottomans:
Poland-Lithuania: dark red
Denmark:

Uniform colors:

Great Britain: primary red for all; secondary blue for royal regiments; yellow, green, black etc for other troops; primary blue with secondary red for artillery and some royal cavalry

France: primary white for all non-royal; primary blue for royal; secondary red for royal, non-royal secondary > most other colors

Spain:


Prussia: primary dark blue for all; secondary red and yellow for most units;

Russia: primary dark green and secondary red for all intantry; primary white for most cavalry

Austria: primary white for most units; secondary red for cavalry and some infantry, other secondarys for other units

Sweden: primary medium blue for all units, secondary yellow for almost all units

Netherlands: primary dark blue for all units; secondary orange > red for royal units; secondary other for other units

Portugal:

Bavaria: primary light blue for all infantry; primary white for cavalry (not sure); secondary white (or white & black) for royal units; other secondarys for other units predominating to red

Ottomans:

Poland-Lithuania:

Denmark: primary red for all units; secondary other colors


I don't have all of this finished, but this is the general idea. Many factions varied widely in uniformity of colors both over time and by regiment. Others, I don't have reliable sources for yet.
