[Freeciv-Dev] Re: New nation: The Westphalians

[Daniel Markstedt <himasaram@xxxxxxxx>]

Hi Moritz!

There are a few things you should know about adding more nations:

Work against the development version! That's where we're adding new 
nations at the moment. Get a copy of the source from 
www.freeciv.org/index.php/Latest
Refer to the instructions at doc/README.nations in the source package 
to find out requirements and recommendations. For example, you need to 
replace the 'class' tag with a 'groups' tag, add civil war nations etc.
Most importantly, all flags must be provided as SVG, a vector image 
format. Try to find a fitting flag at www.openclipart.org or create one 
yourself. Two good open source SVG editors are Inkscape and Sodipodi.
Good luck!

Daniel
