No.  The post-game report in Civ I displays a textual report of game events
(this is what the gamelog does) plus an animated map (which Jake and at
least 4 others have also implemented for Freeciv).  The animated map
is generated from .sav files and doesn't depend on the gamelog.  The
gamelog is directly generated by the server.
