No, isotrident uses a different grid size (64x32 instead of 30x30).  You
should be able to just copy-and-paste the flags into this file, though.

Changing this means changing the sprite grid setup, i.e., what esr is
planning.

Yes, misc/shields.png (and shields.spec) need updating.  I don't know
how this is done...

> Problem 5: the Elves have init_techs="Alphabet", "Map Making", "Seafaring"

Err, what's the significance of this?

It needs a new manditory capability.  You should comment this dependency
while you're at it.  We should fix it eventually (gui-gtk-2.0 is
definitely affected; other places I'm not sure about).
