Non-Square Maps Possible?

from GalCiv2 Forums

Using the GalCiv2 Map Editor or some other method, is it possible to create maps that aren't square?

For example a map with areas of dead space; irregular polygons, not just rectangles, for creating choke holds and dead ends and such. It would make fleet movement and defensive positions more interesting.

Sort of. You can put whatever features you want on a map in weird patterns, but the game reads them in as Cartesian planes of a predetermined size. You cannot alter the shape of the map's "field".
