Forming a Nation Keeps the Old Nation's Color

[frostbiyt]

You're playing a long, hard game as Scotland and you finally conquer all of the British Isles and take the decision to form Great Britain. Then your country changes from the impressive Scottish yellow to the English red, indistinguishable from an England formed Greater Britain. My suggestion is that when you form a Nation, you keep your color. I think this should only apply to the cultural union tags, like GB, Spain, Germany, etc. So you would still turn green if you form Ireland from an Irish minor, but you would stay green when you formed GB. Thoughts?

I think it should be choosable. The ai should choose to keep change its colour when it forms a nation "traditionally" (e.g. Muscovy to Russia, Castile to Spain, change colour.) but swap keep it otherwise (Novgorod to Russia, Aragon to Spain, keep colour).

Fixed that for you.
Should differ from nation to nation, though. E.g. AI Netherlands always should be orange.

100% agree that cultural unions should keep the color of the country that formed them (even if it's an outsider, like, say, Ottomans forming Russia). Not so keen on this working for any other formable nation, though.

But i dont want my russia to be the color of mustard

Simple as that - make it optional choice. Tick if you would like to keep old color or accept new one. I'm always annoyed when I have to change color when forming country if I like it and loosing it and in some instances I like to change it. I think as a player I should be in control of my country color or weather it changes or not.

OR even better let ME always choose color of my country at any time. Let me switch colors with AI if it holds.
