This zipfile contains an .xml file called playercolors and a text document with a listing of the default player colors.
Unzip this file somewhere easy to use (desktop)
The text document "Default Player Colors" simply lists the color given to each player number.
The .xml file "playercolors" is that file that you will edit. Right click on this file, and select "open with". Choose either notepad or wordpad and you will see a text document of the player numbers followed by a color configuration.
How to change color:While viewing in notepad or wordpad
simply switch the player numbers.
Example: I like player 11's color Dark Grey better than Blue (use the text document to view what player has what color)so I simply change the player #1 to an 11 and #11 to a 1. You can also change the actual hue numbers to get different shades and stuff. After you've got the players with the color you want, click on file and select save. Put this file in the data subfolder of the Age of Mythology folder. You can change the file back to original settings or whatever setting you chose from in it's new location.
To disable file:Once you've run the game with this file in the data folder, a backup file called playercolors.xmb will be made. Be sure to delete both the playercolors.xml and the playercolors.xmb to get rid of the settings. This only needs to be done if you want the files deleated for good. Otherwise you can just change the settings in the .xml to the orginals and it will resume the default setting colors.

Hi everyone
just joined AOMH to say im going to try change my color. I've played all the of the Age of ... games and i still remeber playing AOM 1 with the dull annoying frustating making me blue color. Finally resolved to see if there was a solution to this blue problem. Going home to try this now. Soon to work i hope and thanks a million no more playing this awsome game while being blue cheers

Im sure that I changed it correctly, but it still has me as Blue and I have no idea what I did wrong. . . Is there a website or something that you need to upload the new script too?

This doesn't seem to work with Age of Mythology: Extended Edition on steam as I've done it twice now and it hasn't worked.
