The scale is wrong.  One freeciv square represents a _large_
area.  For most maps realistic glaciers would correspond to
one or few squares only.  

Also historically it seems a bit iffy.  How many historical
civilisations were disrupted or threatened by glaciers??

Now an ice age or other global climate change (other than
current pollution-induced global warming), that could be 
interesting...   (Or really _fast_ continental drift :-)
