There are 2 current latest versions: My map has all res but one too much, I believe there still are gems on it which with newest version only can be processed by certain buildings and which on PhillipSchalls revision are gone
but then again his version has different civs and he changed some other things, too, so I suggest you to load both in worldbuilder and watch yourself which one you wanna play.
So, it won't be such a big difference regarding to terrain but rather to with how many civs you wanna start: on my version there are about 28 civs including the american tribes iwhereas PhillipSchalls version has no american tribes but 2 chinese nations instead and less european tribes and no Australia.

There are two maps in my previous post zip. The regular is DRJ's map with updated resources (no gems, a couple extra things), and the v1.1 is my own alteration where I deleted australia & Byzantine, slightly moved some starting positions, and added a second chinese and Indian civ. In BOTH maps, native american civs are still present. I haven't done anything that radical.
Cool, downloading.. gonna use it for my new game i wanna start and play louis XIV i think

I just put DRJ's 38 civ in the SVN with a few minor changes.
instead of custom game, you choose - custom scenario.
btw, didn't realise the map was gigantic
think ill stick to the huge one since there are only so many crashes I can tolerate without my knuckles turning white.

I think there are 3-4 resources still pending. I am not sure when I will get to them.

Yep, Tungsten, Geodes, Geothermal Vents, Natural Gas and Mushrooms. There are also ones for the Moon and Mars but that should not matter since they would not show up on the Earth maps (ex. Lunar Rocks).

On the GEM map, I would heartily recommend setting the start date to 12700 bc. You will get much more of a reasonable historical timeline, with pyramids made around 3000bc, agri & sed lifestyle around 5-4000 bc. Just for those who care about dates & such.

I'm back, midterms, reading week and Crusader Kings 2 (so much awesome) are on the sidelines now...
I'm going to be looking at the newest SVN in time when I finally get it updated.
Then fix up the map again. Huzzah!
Anything else that needs tweaking, find my list that I need to go though from before.
How many new resources are there? Importance and must they be included ASAP?
Just want to check, I need to fix my overly abundant reefs.
Personally, I don't mind looking at Rhye's Earth map, I have fond memories of it, but I will probably have to use the simplified resources, such as gems in Madagascar since it is known for Rubies and Saphhires.

I've re-calculated the start time to 50,000 BCE on my game and tweaked how the years pass, meaning that tech's are more in line with their real life discovery dates. I've also changed Fire Making and Cooking techs to Earth Ovens and Stone Hearths to represent the onset of Sedentism and it works a treat on Eternity speed and your version of the GEM map. You're welcome to the files I changed if you like.

Gems are out, they are no longer a map resource.
There coasts and oceans are now split into polar, temperate and tropical. Deep (or far) Ocean still to come.
Im playing GEM map as australia and im trying to send my war canoes and galleys out into the wilderness but man o man this coral is an ffing joke lol
Please give us poor aussies a little wriggle room, by the time i make it out of the coral my ships are like .2 hp.
Those whale squares are scary too, i got like 15 giants squids camping with the whales having some kind of giant sea orgy

Well, I'll be the first to admit that sounds awesome.
Although may I get a temperature range of what each tile represent so I have a good idea what I'm going to do with map data and GEM?
