the file.

Consider it's just a collection.
To use them, you should take the ones you want, put them in a mod subfolder (Mods\Flags\Assets\Art\Interface\TeamColor) and put an edited CIV4ArtDefines_Civilization.xml inside Mods\Flags\Assets\XML\Art.

I can't do that myself, because each one of you is free to choose his one combination.

For example, in my games from the 2nd row I'd use America, Arabia, Aztecs, France, Greece, Inca, Mali, Rome and Spain only

Great job!

For India, consider:

India1: Chakra (centre of modern Indian flag)
India2: Ashoka's Lion (national seal/emblem, four-sided column capital, each side featuring a lion, used to cap the pillars that Ashoka erected all over the country)

How do you change decals?

There is no such directory.

It sure would be cool if you could make the flags change as time progresses. That way you could have a set of flags that more accurately represent the countries throughout history.

Little question:
when I use Rhye's flags, I have different color mistakes...the lilies of the France's flag are yellow, the japanese warflag is completely white.
On the other hand the german cross of the Luftwaffe is shown correctly.
Can somebody help me??
