I've been generating map after map with bad starts or so much tundra or desert, that I'm extremely annoyed by it. Is there ever a way to generate a map not likely to have so much infertile land?
What map is likely to have little to no tundra or desert?

It occured to me as well.
Playing on Emporer, I never have a "good" or decent start.
I Always start in the middle of the desert, or in the jungle, with no Marble, No Gold, no Silver.
That's no bad luck.... that's conspiracy!

Messing around with the SDK, I don't see any map script that particularly places less "desert and tundra". You can go something like cool/wet and get alot less desert, or the desert there has alot of flood plain, but it has alot of tundra.
I'm not going to argue how I play and tell you how to better use tundra/desert. I'll tell you download the free SDK from Steam and make your own map so you can play how you want to. Maybe random generate one first and when it's close to what you want, accept and edit out all the deserts, all the tundra, start yourself with extra wheat/cow/citrus/salt resource, whatever.

I would have thought this also. I rerolled a lot of times with korea because I like their unique traits, but then I realised I didn't like the start bias to fit my game.

The great plains plus or the great plains maps don't usaully have desert nor tundra and the aboreal are just forest. Just look for maps that have a based start in area like the ones above.

Change the amount of precipitation in the game. The "wetter" you make it, the less deserts you will have, but the more jungles and forests you will.
Disable start bias or don't pick a leader that has a moronic start bias. See: Celts. For example, Washington is almost always guaranteed a river start. I will say though, that I tend to get the best starts when playing the Incas. Empirical probability and all...
This was removed in a patch. Or possibly in G&K. Either way it's gone now.

I don't know which DLCs you have, but real life maps such as British Isles and Japanese Mainland shouldn't have much Tundra/Desert.
Also, as somebody already mentoned, Great Plains map shouldn't have any Tundra. Although it might have a little Desert in the southwest.

If you use the world builder you can quickly generate every map and see what the whole thing looks like without having to play the whole thing.
