What map(s) do you use?

I'm playing with the most current version of Ashes of Erebus.

What maps do you use? What maps do you recommend? What map is the closest canonical type to Erebus?

I've seen tectonics recommended, but the land-sea ratio is horribly off, and the closest to anything sane is "70% land". However, this can throw off the civ distribution, with civs being too far apart or way too close, conferring huge arbitrary advantages.

usually World of Erebus or Erebus Continent, personally. They tend to offer a bit more broken landscapes that i feel are well suited to AoE.

What do you mean by broken?

more mountain chains with small passages , abrupt transitions between biomes,...
