Thank you for this vital piece of information. I won't be purchasing Civ6 after all. Because 128 X 80 is pretty much the bare minimum before I start to feel too claustrophobia on a map smaller than the bare minimum.
On other hand, its very disappointing that my prediction that firaxis will make civ 6 maps smaller than civ 5 maps come true. :/
This Precedent thing the lawyers love to use in courts really work after all guys.

Earth is 70% ocean thoughtYep, landmass is absolutely tiny. My continents map was 70% ocean.
I also can't wait until the Earth map comes. Why wasn't it on release I wonder??
Maps seems smaller because citites take large amount of land due to districts so one city may have 10 tiles.
maps are actually bigger then civ 5 however it is filled up prety fast
If there's no space left, grab space that belongs to your neighbors.
If you want more space for yourself reduce the number of opponents on the map, or edit the map files to make maps bigger. People have reported that the game is able to handle map sizes bigger than what Civ 5 could, assuming you have the hardware to support them.
