You can't have maps in Civ5 that are taller than wide. I'm wondering if I could get around this by changing the default camera angle. Has anyone done anything like this yet?
 
why not just rotate the map 90 degrees, won't this achieve the same effect and let you load the map?

Nah, in this case the Civ5 engine just won't handle it. I altered the Terra.lua map script to make a tall map to test it. The map will load, but the north part of the map becomes an unusable alternating cube geometry. Try changing the size parameters in Terra.lua and you can see what I mean. It's not actually a Worldbuilder issue.
