Don't know about flags appearing on the minimap but I sure would appreciate being able to resize the map (smaller). I can't count the number of times that I got killed in Divine Divinity while attempting to flee in the screen direction where the minimap had "landed" or trying to target enemies approaching from the screen location of the minimap. On my 21" monitor at 640 by 480 resolution, the minimap takes up nearly 1/5 of the play area.
