How do you know about Civilization 5, I didn't know they announced it
Preview of the new smaller map posted, in actual size.
You can notice that that size of important areas (Greece, Italy,...) hasn't changed much (compared with the central one).
Compare with the Greek World map (at left), much bigger, but with much smaller important areas (and a lot of junk space at the 3 edges).
Besides helping with AI behaviour, it's faster and making city names map for it will be easier.

Indeed fatter is better, but I'll retouch it a bit.

Hold it, whats RFC antiquity? And did TAM ever update their mod past the vanilla?
I was joking with that map. I just thought it was a cool map that reminded me of this mod. This mod is called Rhye's and Fall of the Greek world... centered around... the well.... Greeks. So we must extort certain areas of the map for optimal gameplay. We need to focus on the centers of civilization first and foremost.
And if you look at the map Rhye based this mod on, Hecataeus' map, it looks nothing like the real world, so map accuracy is not in the least bit essential.

. And I don't wan't to waste a post on it. So 
No I would not like a large map either but couldn't rhye just use an extended map version of RFC's Europe and the Middle East (or just parts of it at least).
And yes the alternative history website is down
And Thank You very much for your happy Birthday note

It would be nice to have a large map though.
Grass in RFGW is less fertile than plains.
Overall map size isn't the only thing that matters. See the comparison with old Greek World map. It all depends on how you use that space and how much settleable land is available around each civ starting location, which should be a fair amount but not too much.
This map has the same accuracy as the ancient Greeks and Romans' map. The mod is called RnF of the GREEK WORLD
That said, there are gameplay factors that are just more important than anything else, and in such cases, accuracy has to adapt.
