9 Player Colours For StarCraft II

Posted 17th Apr 2009 12:25 AM by moondragon

Blueposter Cydra responded to a forum member about the player colours and how many you can choose.

Blizzard Quote: (Source)
There currently are 9 player colors.


One fan suggested Red, Blue, Teal, Purple, Brown, Orange, White, Yellow and "????". Cydra gave us the final lineup:

Red, Blue, Green (replacing Teal), Purple, Light Blue (replacing Brown), Orange, Grey (replacing White), Yellow and the NEW colour: Pink!

Worth noting is that they mentioned "up to 12 players" simultaneously before. Has that changed to "up to 9 players" now, or are there more colours coming? And.. Pink?! Are we going to get a StarCraft II art controversy?


SMALL UPDATE
Another fan asked if it's possible to choose colour before a match starts.

Maybe they wanted to put that in if a custom RPG game was made in the editor?

"There currently are 9 player colors." Maybe they just haven't decied the other 3. Besides, the 12 players was the aim, but maybe it didin't work so the nerfed it to 9.

Less than 12 players will greatly impact the gameplay I seriously doubt they’ll have only 9 players. In fact I’d hope for more players, just to increase the potential for custom mapping… how is DOTA going to happen with just 9 players.. it’ll be a 4v4 game - nope… blizzard aren’t that stupid… they’ll definitely increase this number of colors. 9 is just the ones they are mentioning at the moment.

Hmm the 9 colours mentioned by Cydra are 9 out of the 12 colours used in warcraft 3. My guess would go on them wanting to have 3 new colours not used in wc3, and they simply haven’t decided on which to use yet.

I think you’re right. They’ll likely add the other 3 later on.

we have seen screenshots of a Lime Green [kinda gatorade-y] Thor… so im betting on Lime Green.

also, i wouldnt be surprised to see Cyan [ultra-blue] or Teal and Brown come back.

Am I the only one who thought “It’s not pink, it’s lightish red” here?
If so, yes it’s a reference to something.

The 12 colors should be:

1.  Red
2.  Blue
3.  Light Blue
4.  Green
5.  Yellow
6.  Orange
7.  Purple
8.  Pink
9.  Black
10. White
11. Gray
12. Brown

Those are all very distingushable from each other and you wouldnt mix them up if you were playing a 12 player game. i hope they do 12 players it would be more fun than just 9
