Exporting a Custom Map for Re-Use

from Elemental Forums

One thing Gal Civ lacked that i assume this game does too that would have been excellant and very useful is the following.

When you create a Randomly Generated map sometimes you will get a really good map, but once you have started the game you have no way of exporting the map so you could re-use it in a different game with a different species/sovereign OR even edit it in the editor to make a good random map into an even better custom tweaked map.

As such I would like to have an EXPORT map option so that I can save a custom map (minus the players) so that I can re-use it or edit it again later.

GC2 also lacked a map editor. Maybe Elemental having one means that a function like this is possible. I'd certainly use it from time to time if it were available. Starting from a Turn 0 save is a close approximation, but being able to play 'the same map' with different opponents and difficulty settings would be very nice.
