Colours in the "Kingmaker" mode of "Stronghold 2" indicate the alliance affiliation of a player or AI. Changing a player's colour changes which other players or AI are friendly or hostile towards him. The player's colour must be set at the beginning of the Kingmaker game. Players do not need to be evenly divided between alliances, and you can select any desired alliance colour during set-up.
