[QUOTE="emeraldbeacon, post: 8468381, member: 7032019"] Does anyone here have any thoughts about ways to visually distinguish forces from certain armies? I've thought about classifying the typical looks of each nation with a certain color theme, but I'm not sure which really works best. My headcanons below... [B]Gate Pass [/B]is a very blended city, and as such, doesn't have a strong color concept of its own. Most of their forces wear muted browns and greens. [B]Ragesia, [/B]as the primary aggressors of the story, I typically imagine in red and black, gold and bone (a callback to the inquisitorial masks). [B]Shahalesti [/B]focuses their appearance on light. They're consistently described as wearing blue and silver armor, and I imagine that the elite members of the Solei Palencis also wear gold and white. [B]Dasseni [/B]are steady and resolute, and deeply tied to their own lands. They emphasise earthy colors, like tans, browns, and grays. Most of the 8 lords include a splash of their own heraldic colors in their personal units; Steppengard in regal violet, Gallo with a vivid cobalt, and so on. As a somewhat removed Dasseni territory, [B]Seaquen's [/B]colors follow the ocean that surrounds it... deep blues and soft greens. [B]Ostalin [/B]trends towards warm, natural colors, like yellows, oranges, muted greens, and soft browns. [B]Sindaire [/B]armies would historically wear gray with a hint of muted cool tones (blues and violets), but lately, have featured more reddish hues thanks to the Ragesian occupations. What are your thoughts on color blocking to establish some more cohesiveness among troops? [B][I]Edited to reflect initial suggestions below...[/I][/B] [/QUOTE]
