So, has anyone painted the game figures? I've been playing with the thought of painting them. Either by giving the pieces a sort of metallic feel with silver paint and colored washes or paint them more like they'd be in a natural world only with distinctive colors. For example for scouts, paint the canvas part of the wagon with the player's color but the wooden part like wood.
If anyone has painted their Civilization game figures, I'd love to see pictures of them.
