Yes, but currently maps, scenarios and savedgames are the same in
Freeciv .. My first task is to make them destinct .. so we can have real
maps and real scenarios + ofcourse real savedgames ;) not to forget
hehe.

This involves ofcourse CivWorld which I hope to see implemented in
Freeciv just as civ II and civ:ctp has its own map editors.
This will open for lots of creativity for freeciv.

A scenario editor would be nice to create to. 

When the destinction between scenario (scr) and maps (map) has been done
.. I call for a prefix of foo.map and foo.scr .. maybe two dirs /map &
/scr ..
