Your think scenario makers want really work in savegames.?
this is very hard to fine touch a map and i will probably code some
cmdline tool to create maps from height maps or images. 
A another way is to create map in a tool as civworld. there we can
create a windows to see and select the base shape(ratio) of the map,
then size etc. work from native coordinates are hard and ugly.

The alternative of size and hsize/vsize are more hard to code. to this
patch we need add more in input control. that is not more easy code. and
the alternative of only hsize/vsize (the apparents sizes) need basically
the some code.

We need think than set a single var size is the more easy and the more
often way to set a map in the future(if the patch is get) . ratio will
be a very rarely used var. but not allow to set it is for my too
restrictive.
