Personalizing Your Side

Many games will pre-assign your side's name, emblem, enemies, and so forth. However, many others allow you to change all that to suit your tastes.

The name is a proper noun such as "Poland", the noun is what you would call an individual, such as "Pole", the plural is for more than one, and <adj> is the adjective for things on that side, such as "Polish". The color scheme is a comma-separated list of color names, and <image name> names some sort of image file (like a bitmap).

The image may be of any size and combination of colors, with the caveat that it may not always work correctly. For instance, two subtly different shades may get fused into a single solid color. The emblem should also be small enough to fit reasonably into unit icons. As a rule, most national flags will fit into a 7x5 rectangle, and coats of arms into a 7x9 region. The color scheme should be useful by itself, when the unit icons are too small to fit the emblem.

Xconq will not allow you to have the same name, color, or emblem as another player in the same game.

The interface-specific side configuration uses the favored mechanism for that interface (if one is defined). You should check with the interface documentation for more details.
