setting teams on maps

[Azzaphox]

OK, i am asking this because i want to make sure it goes the right way.

when you have a 6 player map, the map is set so you need to have 3 vs 3.
Initially you can check which player is in which position from the colours.
Now, if as they sign up the players change the colour of the team they play, how do I tell where they are?

I mean I know if someone changes from yellow to purple they are still in the same place on the map.
But the problem is I dont know what colour they were at the start.

Is there a standard order to people to join in?

Or in short how can I tell which location people are starting in when they have changed the colours?

The point is that if I set the teams up the wrong way, the maps dont work since we have 2 vs 1 very close to the HQs.

I would suggest you look at the player order, and compare it to the original map.

Example:
Player #2 of 6 selected BlueMoon, and changed colour to say, Purple.
In the player order, you know #2 is going to be (positionally) BlueMoon on the original map, regardless of whether he/she picked Purple/Red/Black/whatever colour.

This is also a great reference for turn order: http://awbw.amarriner.com/countries.php

hope this works for you!
