My favorite map type is real-earth maps.

I have been drawing maps since grade school. Playing on "real" maps allows me to better imagine the greatness of civilizations. I can better imagine the exciting moments of the world. The rivers, mountains, and strategic locations are (hopefully) accurate. "Crossing the Alps like Hannibal" feels better than "crossing that mountain". :king:

Real-earth maps offer a great variation of strategies even on different birth places of the same map, as the terrain can be drastically different. I admire people who has the patience to use the same civilizations on the same map type over and over. I would chew my Civ5 DVD on the third run. :p
 
Pangea.

I used to play continents a lot, but then i got tired of having to deal with a superciv at the end of every game.
 
I play more on continents on average, which is how I voted. But I play several map types depending on my mood and what I want out of the game. Incas on highlands is sometimes just to much fun to pass up.
 
Pangaea plus. usually. I play all maps though, and tend to make a lot of custom maps just for trying out games I think would be fun.
 
I played Continents, Pangea and Ancient Lakes so far and the next game will be Archipelago. I like the variety. :)

Including other Civs, I played Continents the most.
 
Continents, while the AI might not like building a navy, I love it. Archi's are just a bit too random and give crappy start-ups, but nothing beats having your own contient conquered even if you're aiming for a science victory.
 
Pangaea generally, although I often like to do things like play a tiny map with 16 civs, or conversely a huge map with 2 civs. Makes the game very different.
 
Fractal should be in the poll, it's my favourite.
Sometimes I play Pangaea.
Continents makes the game way too easy, so I never play it.
 
Terra Incognito. Highly packed, lots of wars, slaying the barb armies on the New World is fun. Or Continents with extra Civs and raging barbs.

What are the different "types" of games for you, that feel very different and scratch a different itch?
