Concerning Patch 7055

[Bob]

"You can now define up to 8 custom Extra flags in the ruleset. They are defined in terrain.ruleset's control section's extra_flags."
Does this mean someone could make multiple flags for one country and set conditions for the flags to be used?
IE: Making variations of a country's flag that can be activated by which government type the country has?

No, this isn't about national flag designs. It's about "flags" in the computing sense, associated with "extras" which are a game engine concept (things that sit on top of terrain: roads, bases, resources, etc). This change is only of direct interest to those making rulesets for Freeciv.

I updated my "Changes in what a 3.0 ruleset can do" post to (hopefully) make this clearer.
