I have another suggestion. I was playing on the demo and in the naval battle I noticed that every single ship looks near exactly the same. They are all plain, brown and boring. It would be nice if we could edit the tetures a little to add a bit of paint to them and brighten them up.

I seem to recall that British ships were black and yellow for instance (it might be a bit later than the timeframe though). I also think that a lot of other ships were brightly painted and had different figureheads depending on where they were built. Ships were certainly not as identical as they appear in game.

How easy would it be to add a little factional variation into ship's paint jobs?
