Is there any way to change the colour of a faction? I love the Hive, but that blue is killing my eyes.

You can try this though I'm not sure if it will work. Load the hive faction onto a faction's colour you like and then load that faction over the hive's. I have used this before but it was when I had loaded UoP onto every slot so I'm not sure if it will work. If this doesn't work, try loading the hive over a faction who colour you like and leaving the other Hive, you will have two hives but you should get the effect you desire.

Thanks for the help ClockKing. My eyes are eternally in your debt.

I have the same problem with the dark blue Hive color, and I also find the lavendar Peacemaker color hard to distinguish from white on the small corner display.
I was wondering how to alter the palette file to actually change, not just swap, the colors. Is it as simple as loading the palette file into a paint program and substituting the result in the AC folder?
