Oh yes, they're not there for optimum playability! :-)
They're there to create a good first impression, and to stop
people complaining about freeciv not having good graphics.
I think given that aim, they're useable, and the problems are 
not too severe.  (Or will we get too many people complaining
that the game is unplayable because the graphics are too large?)

A agree, and that's still the plan.  But I would like the have
the _best_available_ 30x30 set in the release, which I currently 
consider to be the brunus tiles + dwp units.  (Other sets, 
such as the "classic" set, engels-30x30 etc, can also be 
available from cvs and/or ftp.)
