IMO the city map doesn't actually work so well because;
a) It means that there are a ton of barbarian cities producing warriors from the very beginning, and the AI can't handle them all. Multiple civs end up getting taken out by barbs in the early game, or pillaged to death in such a way that they never manage to grow.
b) The AI isn't good at taking over barb cities as a form of growth. Its good at spamming settlers and using those to take ground, but not so good at seeing war as a form of growth.

@ Ploep: if youd like to focus on modding ill update the maps add in the new necessary resources (in the correct locations 
).
and a little side note: the cities map wasnt actualyl meant to be played, it was purely to find out the best places for cities to be when we incorporate rhyes spawning mechanics but seeing as people seem to enjoy it, ill update that one at some point too
EDIT: ill put more starting units for each civ so they have more of a chance against the barbs.

Be careful about the ressources. I think currently there are simply far too many present on the map. It'll be hard to find a good balance but in general I can already say it's too much atm.@ Ploep: if youd like to focus on modding ill update the maps add in the new necessary resources (in the correct locations

Good question. You beat me to it. I echo Greeneyedzombie's question.
I wanted a map I could play multiplayer on so I made this. Its non-canon (not the actual WH world) but everyones starts are fairly even and realistic, with barb pressure stronger on the slightly better starts.
Most of the mineral deposits are in the central core, where the barbs are strongest and you can get to most civs through the central core. different areas have different resources (spices etc.. are with the eastern civs, wheat etc.. near the western).
I am having trouble getting some screen shots up (don't ask me how but I think I broke paint.) Anyways I have the minimap so hopefully that'll do.
It might not be quite balanced yet, if you dont think it is please say what you think is wrong with it.
You should be able to get it here. I cant figure out how to upload it yet, so I have put it on sendspace for now.

Ah... you forgot the Kurgan.
Enjoyed playing it as the Empire. Araby got boxed in by the Khemri, otherwise nice map!frenzyslave

No. Are you talking about the skeletons to the south? Up to turn 200 and they never entered my borders at all, which i am a bit surprised about. Cathay settled in the core for one turn, and went "ah oh" (squish by barbs).
Only one restless saw action in the north in the early game, which easily killed itself to my archer on a forested hill.
Interesting map though. Stomped the Carsteins, now invading Brettonia.

Met some sneaky barbs in the centre but have now cleared it out. The barbs went south into Cathay, I saw a stack of 6 undead going south. Ouch...
EDIT: Finished enjoyable scenario. Met 15 odd Shadow Beasts when i invaded in Ind and Cathay - these creatures are nastay! (Had to invade twice )

. Met 15 odd Shadow Beasts when i invaded in Ind and Cathay - these creatures are nastay! (Had to invade twice )I have tweaked and removed and tried and tried... and finally I managed to fix the maps so they would not crash.
The ctds are caused by flames. Just remove every one of them from the map, either in the worldbuilder or a good old text editor, and the maps work !

I found that the Warhammer world map works for me (play it as a custom scenario), but many people find it doesn't work for them.
The map though really only works for a handful of factions at the present time, however. I recommend Brettonnia, Estalia, Tilea, or the Empire. Or Wood Elves, I guess. Everyone else is pretty boring.

ive made a wahammer specific random map script (well i customised the 'creation' map scrip so that the Wahrammer civs start in their favoured terrain most of the time)
i think ill make some more maps (and fix the current ones) after ive done the tech tree changes.
