I've updated them slightly:

- No more code changes needed.
- No changes to existing nations needed.
- Elves have their third init_tech (Seafaring) removed.

Unpack in data/nations, then apply the patch on top.  The original
flags.png will be needed for Trident.

Most original problems still apply:

> Problem 1: only support for trident. It looks like the file can just
> be copied into the isotrident dir.

No, the sizing is different.  But this should be made easier by the
changes to the tileset flag file structure.

> Problem 2: no shields support. I have no idea how this was made in the
> past. I'm for an automatic conversion. I won't do it by hand.

Indeed.

> Problem 3: the Galician flag was not usable. I used a version from the
> net.
> 
> Problem 4: no flag was provided for the Cuban and Kampuchean
> ruleset. I used a version from the net.

Copyright?

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

I removed Seafaring.

> Problem 6: I'm not sure if the change to MAX_NUM_NATIONS is ok. I'm
> too lazy to check now.

Fixed.

> Problem 7: we have two Catalonia flags which are similar but
> differ. Please choose one.
> 
> Problem 8: we have two Croatia flags which are similar. Please choose
> one.
> 
> Problem 9: the flag of the Hobbits and Elves look stupid. But it is
> also possible that these are correct (wrt fantasy literature ;) ).

Anyone with a comment?

Problem 10: We also need alternate flag tags - so that an older flag can
be used if the tileset doesn't have the most up-to-date graphics.  See
the flag_alt tag.

There may also be new nations not included here.
