im not color blind myself.
but i've just noticed that the one thing that could make the game for that small group of people more enjoyable.
and for me as well:
make the health bars of the enemies youre facing so, that it's very noticeable how much health he has left.
no more "very small green bar" against "large yellow bar".
more like: " your enemy has this much hp left once you attacked him after you finished your move"
somehow.
note that i came up with this while playing the game drinking a bottle of wine on my own, which is
AWESOME
have a nice day everyone!

Maybe make it an option.  And when active, it splits into two bars, side by side.  One would show the current health and below that would be how much is left after damage.

I was just thinking how another colorblind friendly option could alternatively implemented.

and thats
1. a fine a idea
and
2. an option, if it should be implemented, which i would choose to enable for myself if it was to be implemented, because i think that the bar, how it is now, forces me to count my attack damage in my turn if my enemy is at low health, since trying to determine if theres a little slim green health bar left is quite stressing

I, myself, am a bit colorblind, but not so much that I cannot discern the colors. On the other hand, as designed right now when damage is close to finishing your opponent off it is very difficult to see. I support an option to change the colors/split the bars/numerically show difference/whatever.

Also, a bit of advice, the hard stops like you're talking in a chat are somewhat difficult. If you could, paragraph form would make your posts easier to read.
