status bar on units of the enemy are also green. which is confusing. used to be red? now the enemey appears to be friendly.

That was removed as now relationship colors are mapped directly onto the units

The red health bar over friendly units is now very confusing. It's too hard to tell friendly units from enemy ones.

I am fine with the changes until there is a possibility to adjust them via game settings so every body can be happy.

@PunkPun Then why is it still green when this option is turned off?

The default behaviour is green health for units with full health, yellow for damaged, red for critical

Current behavior is closer to what most other RTS do when you switch relationships color on. In all c&c games red healt bar is associated with low health, not player color.

i was about to open an issue for this too. yes please add an option to make enemy hp bars red and friendly ones green. the current system with green yellow and red for health is kinda confusing especially for new players. in big fights with lots of units it's really hard to tell who's a friend or enemy. the color on the units helps a bit but it's not as clear as colored hp bars. i’d be happy with my hp bar always staying green even when low hp and enemies always red way better than everyone having green bars which just gets too messy. and since it’s just an option you can turn on or off everyone can pick what works for them and be happy
