I play the same map a few times and then play a different one. Each game is totally different, even if you know what the world looks like, you'll probably get a different starting location and you can play as a different civilization or with different opponents. In other words, no two games are the same.
Do you replay the same map?

A new map for me everytime.

I play mostly random maps because I don't like knowing in advance what the world looks like.

How about building a map consisting of clusters of medium to small islands, seperated by coast and sea tiles. No island bigger than say 20 - 30 tiles. Island clusters separated by narrow strips of ocean. I am thinking lots of land (75% - 80%); but with enough water to force Civs to build navys.
Maybe you could do something like this and upload it here?

I'm presently working on a map (testing) which may be of interest to you. Its C3C on a 240x240 grid. Contains hundreds of islands and has 12 civs. I'm only up to 290 AD, but I think I need to make a few revisions with resources etc.
I consider all requests for C3C maps but make no promises as to time frame because of my unpredictable time availablity.
I need to know general issues such as:
game grid size
# of civs (6-21)
general terrain preference and age
if desired - name of map.
Please note, I do not at this time make maps of a historical nature nor country or world maps. There are others who do this much better than I.

Yes that map does sound interesting. Lots of oppertunity for naval encounters and 240 X 240. I like Huge worlds. The bigger the better, I say.
I don't understand the reference to 290 AD. Is it necessary to play the map to get the settings (start loc., resources, etc.) correct?
As you may have guessed, I don't do maps. Although, at some future date I may want to try.

No, it's not necessary to play the map, but I like to play it a few times in order to evaluate it's game play. I like the map to be very challenging, but not unnecessarily difficult For instance if a ship can only move 4 squares, it would take it 60 turns minimum in order to circumvent the world on a 240x240 map.
So usually I try to play the map at least up to railroads in order to see how it might behave in more serious game play, especially on maps above 100x100.
