Country color in inronman

[StefanFan]

Howdy folks

Just formed Italy, and I have a huge visual problem because my lands are near Ottoman lands and that green kills me. Can I change color in ironman without killing achievements?

Thanks

It seems not:

Just FYI editing the colour of a nation disables achievements (surprisingly).

Unless you want to switch culture and form Austria.

Conquer the Ottomans.

Incoming cosmetic DLC! Change the Color of your nation as well as the name!

On a more serious note check out a couple graphical mods. They usually don't mess with the checksum(Ironman safe), and they change the color and border lines enough to tell them apart better.

EDIT: I was joking, but I actually might pay a very small sum of money to make the Ottomans red and the Prussians blue...Sweden can be green for all I care, they always get eaten by Russia or Denmark anyway.

Thank you both

I have to wait about conquering a bit cause I think I pissed off even my allies.

EDIT: Thanks True, I will try that too cause it kills me.

While mods can change flags and border graphics without affecting the checksum I do not believe the same is true for a nation's colours.
I'm not entirely sure though so if it does work let us know.

Nation colors cannot, just unit models, flags, portraits, etc.
Country colors are tied to checksum for some reason... clearly Johan just hated the idea of Prussian Blue that much

Darn, and I wanted to make my beautiful Italia a sky blue so I don't mess it up with France instead of the Ottomans.

Country colours being defined in the country files directly instead of in a separate file is baffling. IIRC, HoI4 does it the correct way. Here’s to hoping for EU5.
