Customization of dragon colours kinda suck?
Why can't i choose individual colours for their horns, spikes, etc? Why is there only one colour option and then lots of weird patterns that all kind of suck a bit? I feel like you could have done much better with this considering how many options there are for every other aspect of the dragon rulers.

Colours have always sucked in AoW

Hey, it's more colors than what the Champions and Wizard Kings get, so that's a plus.

I agree, such a bizarre thing to skimp out on.

Sort of true lol.

Like how many times have people asked for more faction banner/insignia colours in each instalment and end up with the same amount and the exact same colours pretty much? To be honest this is a issue for most games with banners. :p

Unlike the other races though, there's some interesting counter intuitive "hidden" colours based on your dragon colour and scale or whatever decoration slider (like the last option combined with blue skin tones creating a green scaled dragon with blue florescent highlights).

My advice: Experiment with ALL the skin and decorative options. There's some hidden gems that may be exactly what you're looking for (like what happened with the above for making my nature dragon look cool).

I do agree that there are definitely some hidden gems in there, but it shouldn't be so difficult to find a combination of colours that i feel fits the theme of what i'm doing, i really hope they make some changes to this so i can make my ruler look as good (or evil ;D) as possible, without too much effort.

Yep preferably they should at least add a half dozen more colours to all races. I really wanted a green tone around the tone of leafskin for some of my nature factions. :p

my biggest gripe is not being able to choose how the wings look and not being able to choose no wings, but colors would be the next one, there should be a secondary color so you can change the color of the skin decorations

I absolutely would love some better looking wings! I was very surprised to see you could only change the size of them, more options for that would be very welcome.
