I'm going to cross-post this in my Tribes 0.1 thread however, I find this so interesting and important that I believe I will post it here as well.
The tribe colors should be the original 7, unless the game allows you to play with up to 14, whereas the colors from Alpha Centauri will be used, and each civ's color is randomly drawn from the 14 except for your own, which you choose.
Flags, Coats of Arms (in Middle Ages) or whatever you want.. Customisable, Specific to each civ...
