brilliant. thanks a ton. doens't make much sense since we're not teamed, but whatever - i'll take it!
I tried to post pics to illustrate, but that's apparently beyond me. When I start a single player game it looks normal. I select a scenario and go to the game setup screen. My player is setup as red... the 3-7 computer players are all assigned a unique color (each computer player is set up as it's own team, aka FFA).

dude... i can't believe you're up so late and responding to posts. this is why i'll pre-order every Stardock game.
