Well a lot of people know America, but probably don't look at it in Civ. Florida looks too fat but maybe can be longer. Texas is at least one tile too far into the gulf (Gulf of Mexico is too small). There is probably too much grasslands west of the Appalachians all the way to Alaska, probably should not have grasslands in the northwest - Chicago, Detroit, and beyond. Dakotas might as well be like Alaska. The northeast coast of the Pacific (NA west coast) doesn't have its S curve but I guess this is because the Pacific is shrunken. The Sierras are too close to San Francisco. Central California grasslands should not be coastal.
Maybe the Levant can have better tiles instead of more tiles. Resources make the area stronger earlier and crowding is not a bad thing.
Actually the details of the map are quite good, but the more I look at it, the more I rather we have much much less land and much much more water.
Here's my proposal for city placement in eastern America.

Possible City Placement
Babylon = Brunei-Sulu states (Optional civ, but nice addition to fill the Philippines and becomes the rival of Spain in this area)

Agreed, also, we should have St. Louis not Kansas City, as the former was far more important and should be 1E of KC. St. Louis was in the top 5 cities from 1870 through 1910 and didn't drop out of the top 10 until 1970Boston: that'll do to my eyes it should be 1SE on a new tile
Chicago: 1N & if the iron is the Mesabi Range it should be 2N
Atlanta: 1S of the coal hill
Memphis: 1E so it's on the right side of the Mississippi
New Orleans: I didn't notice how bad the birdfoot delta is with this map but it should be 1N
Dallas: Should be Houston (but then Houston should be 1N of the jungle & Dallas 1NW of it along the river)
Adding 2-5 more columns in the Pacific might helpAt this point, I could easily move the map edge or even enlarge/shrink the map. Although it would obsolete the work I did on some of the XML-files, it is far more feasible than after the City-Name-Manager and Stability-Maps are finished.
