This is just a general comment about the flags and the Engels tileset.

Sometimes it's really hard to determine which player a unit belongs to
when using the Engels tileset.  Both the flag and the hit point indicator
are in the upper-left corner of the tile; and the unit's picture also
obscures the flag.  This makes it hard, in many cases, to tell what flag
is being displayed.

The background color of all the units is black when using the Engels
tileset.  It might be better if this black region were replaced with a
solid color unique to each player.  (This could be done in addition to
having the flag, right?)  That would make at-a-glance identification
much easier.
