Pretty self-explanatory question. What does the sea level option on the custom game screen do? Does it affect the number of rivers or something?

Not really, it seems to have more of an impact on the size of the land masses. Lower sea levels = larger islands/continents.
My current favourite map is archipelago with snaky continents and low sea levels. Lots of good-sized land masses of interesting shapes with plenty of choke points and several canal options. Fun!
I agree. My only problem is that even if sea level is Medium, the odds of isolation are pretty high. I played as Alexander for a reason, dag it! But it also gives turtlers and REXers a fair land mass to start with. Mine had most of the resources. Also, barbs develop similar to a Terra map, since most of the tiles are ocean and will be unexplorable till Optics rolls around. Thus, relatively advanced barbarian lands (past Feudalism) can be found.
1) There aren't going to be any more fixes coming from Firaxis. Islam Plates sounds like a modded map type; you might have luck getting the maker of that mapscript to fix it if you can contact him/her.
2) 9-year necro!
