Red player's spearman decided to wear blue uniform into battle:

Is it a bug in a particular variant perhaps? The unit seems to have the same hair in both shots.

This must be intentional, that particular unit (Celtic advanced spearman) has very colorful clothing compared to others. The blue variant is more confusing as it's so close to player 1's typical color, maybe it should be dropped or redesigned: skeletal/celt_isw_a_10.dds

Aye, it looks like the texture needs to be player-colorized by an artist, or removed as a variant from the actor file. The white (limed) hair means it is an advanced unit. Helmeted celts are elite - or at least they used to be set up this way.

OT - zoot, what is going on with your mini-map?

That's an issue I've been having under GLSL. Myconid says it may be due to the minimap renderer using some ancient OpenGL commands.

On that subject, the Celt units generally have poor player color distinction, with a few exceptions. Add that to the art TODO list

Nobody panic. That is just an old unit texture left over from when units were more colorful. It can easily be replaced. Item number 151 on the todo list.
