After playing the vikings for a while I decided that the Norwegian
flag looked a bit odd. I took the trouble to look up the Flag Act of
1898 somewhere and had a look at the appropriate data/*/flags.xpm
files. Sure enough, Freeciv gets it wrong. The Norwegian flag has
proportions like this:
@@@@@@+''+@@@@@@@@@@@@ + +
@@@@@@+''+@@@@@@@@@@@@ | |

I basically pasted this into the engels tileset and it looked fine,
though it is a bit smaller than the other flags.
I also had a look at the trident tileset, but I didn't dare to fiddle
with it because of my lack of understanding of the xpm format. Do the
full stops that border all the flags have a special meaning? I'm
pretty sure that this could be adapted for trident as well, though.
I'm fairly certain (but not absolutely) that the other Scandinavian
flags have similar proportions.
As a Norwegian, I think that this flag looks better and should go in,
assuming that I haven't overlooked anything, off course.
