We use regular tipped sharpies, but have all the different colors of the continents. You can get all the different colors at an office supply or art supply store, I think mine were $1.50 each.We use the different continent colors to write in the info on the back of the faction cards - coordinate which continent that faction started in. We also use the continent color when signing under wins to see which continent is doing the most winning. Makes it easy at a glance to figure that stuff out.
We use a black sharpie for anything being marked on the board otherwise, such as cities, continent names, and other stuff.
And when I get bored, I draw weird things on the game board in various colors. Russia has a nuclear launch detected, random sea monsters, the bermuda triangle... just random things.
