Yeah, good question; maybe its a civ2 legacy thing?

Thanks; its not clear the South African flag is really
appropriate either (modern vs historic), but it would 
match other usage (Romans, Aztecs, Babylonians etc).

One note: its not so bad now since the tilespec system is 
still new and possibly in flux, but in general when changing
the tilespec files, one should only _add_ tag strings, and
not remove any, since in multiplayer games other servers/
clients may be expecting the old tags to exist.

Also, with tilespec you can now freely change the layout 
of the graphics files, so you need not feel limited to 
28 different flags.

Also also, please gzip large files, and/or upload to ftp 
incoming instead and just post a note.
