The new DD showed us a bunch of cool features comming with the next update/dlc, but something that caught my eye was the ability japanese nations will have to keep their original colors once they form japan. Thus i would like to see that feature replicated as much as possible (if possible always) since it's amazing flavor, story telling and looks neat in the map.
So i magine White france that was formed by Britanny or red spain formed by aragon ,green if portugal or blue Rome if formed by France !!!!

I can't imagine the code to create such a decision is really all that complicated. You just need to query what the starting tag was and set the current map color to whatever that was. Maybe one more logic check to see if you've had a change of tag, and there you go.

Yes I would love this.

Not sure why people are disagreeing though. It could always be an option in the game settings that disables AI colours that stay based on whichever nation forms it. This is something I've always asked for and often makes me derive from forming nations. Like what's the use of forming France as a french ducal nation if you're just going to have the same colour as the generic France?

It would make ironman so much better because you can't modify the colour of a nation in that mode.

Right ? and the example used in the Dev diary HAS a button if you want the regular's tag color so if you form japan as uesugi you can still get red japan if you want to... i honestly don't see who loses with that

Can't you just tie it to new ideas and traditions? Like a second pop up asking you to keep your colour or get the regular new one. The AI could be coded to always choose the default standard colour.

The Suggestions subforum? I think that's last on the list of subforums the devs ever read based on how long some bugs have survived...

Suggestions will be more visible to devs in Suggestions than in main forum.

Be careful about publically discussing a moderation action as in... don't do it... check the forum rules).

The HRE definitely needs this. So many nice colors you could form it with and you always end up with a plain grey blob. Imagine a Lotharingia colored HRE or a Spain colored one.
