It'd be awesome and would simplify things a lot, but maybe it also  
would get somehow blocked by the current TEG's development pace.

I don't know whether it's a big deal or not, but we could work around  
this by, oh, adding new sprites to TEG :-)

Thank you!

Could you guide me on this or point me some URL or documents  
regarding how I could port TEG themes to KsirK? I'd like to give it a  
try, but I have no clue where to start from.

It's ok to have only SVN maps available. I've started working on a  
world map for Ksupremacy some time ago (which used to be a pet  
project of a friend of mine similar to the old Supremacy board game)  
and I'm willing to work on it again. I don't find it that hard to  
port my map to SVG.

Where I can find up to date examples/samples or any documentation  
about it?
Maybe Mauricio would like to comment on this as well?

Cheers from Brazil,
