Will there be a conflict if I use full clolored tiles on the cloth map

from Elemental Forums

I wanted to have full color graphics for the clothmap terrain, buildings, ressources, etc.

One of the problem I have realised is that it might be impossible, or give bad results, since the game colorize you buildings and your ennemy empires to the player's color or allegiance color (according to you options).

Which mean that If I use full colored buildings, in the end , it might paint it all the same color or it might even create a bug.

Else, is there a way to deactivate building painting and only keep the colored border around the player's area of influence.

I made some tests. I took a hut and did a yellow, red, and blue grafiti.

The color of the player will be applied to the building which will change the color of the tile. But it applies a translucent color. For example, my yellow line never actually appeared as yellow because it had a blue, or purple overlay which change it's color.

Which means that if you use neutral colors, or colors that are not too bight, the tile should not be influenced that much. But do not expect to make some color coded tiles.
