What is wrong with these maps?

haha no I hate all sort of enemy levelling with you stuff.
It just does not work in a RPG. You're supposed to roleplay in it. And you lose the immersion when enemies gets stronger because you get stronger. It doesn't make sense. Even if there is limits or switching to different enemies (where the hell did those weak guys suddenly go?)
I worked on a script to remove all the leveling stuff in it and keep the levels of enemies vary in regions and have a more realistic distribution of enemies' strength across the whole map. The result is that I need to do a lot of preparation work each time I go on an adventure. And when you sense enemies that are much stronger, you gota run for your life. Now that's realism.

Back to the topic of map script. I too fiddle with the script settings to try and find a good general setting for my games.
I have one mostly, but wish I could make more islands without them possibly being populated by civs.

I must say that I quite like how the old Test of Time scenario, Migard, did it. Let's say you started out as the humans. You were a surface race and started relatively in the center of the map with mountains 20 tiles to the east and ice/tundra in the far north. You have great potential to expand quickly, PROVIDED that you also can prevent the goblins from expanding and the Buteos from expanding. Of course, this concept also applied to the other civs (with the exception of the Infidels, who basically became the fodder for the barbarians) -- that you had to expand by preventing the other civs from expanding.
Point is, for a conqueror type player, you have to do a similar thing for RifE mapscripts, especially if you load the map with civs (like I do, lol). There is no free lunch to superpower-dom. And that's good, imho. Makes the game more interesting.
For those unfamiliar with how the old Migard scenario works:
