What does White flag mean in map files

What does White flag mean in the player data of map files?

It should, I expect, mean the same thing it does in Civ4ArtDefines_Civilizations.xml. There it is related to how the civilization's flag .dds file is displayed - if I recall correctly, one setting (1) has it show the DDS image with anything transparent being white (and possibly blended with white if partially transparent) and the other (0) has it do some more interpretation for team colors.

The traditionnal civ flags are built with a small image or a certain color and a background color. The background color is by default the border color. This system allow only bicolor flag. If you want to change to more complex flags you can use an image instead of just a small symbol but if you don't put <whiteflag> to 1 the background color will be put on top or your flag image.
