[Freeciv] T-shirt fun

[Lalo Martins <lalo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I wasn't very excited with making a t-shirt from a map, but
then I decided to try, and... wow. :-)

It's europe and north of Africa, from earth-160x90-v2.sav, in a
game between 6 AIs (was 5, but one suffered a civil war). Only
4 appear on the shot, but there are different city stiles,
which is what I wanted, and the flags are quite distinct.

On top of that, I pasted the text from the banner on
www.freeciv.org because I like the way it looks. Then I found
out which font is that, and that I could have written it myself
(thus fixing the old "cause" quarrel). I will, for the final
version. And I played with colors to make it look good on the
map. I think the final result is quite impressive.

If you want to check it out, it's at
http://terra.fill.com.br/lalo/pix/hnr/provas/ - it's the
closest to "finished" t-shirt we have, thanks to a sleepless
night ;-) Oh, the image is quite, hmm, huge. I made a thumbnail
of a manageable size, if you just want to have an idea of how
it will look.

And if you want to download the big one and print your own
t-shirts (or even other stuff), go for it, all our images will
have a X-like license (in short, just don't remove our message
with our URLs, and the URL for whatever project the image is
about - in this case, www.freeciv.org - and we're fine).

Now on to the shirt color. I have the impression that this
thing will look awful in white. :-(

Perhaps the deep blue from Trident's oceans, or black (and
apply the "unknown tile" pattern to the whole border). Hmm, I
like this idea.
