maps discussion

Someone please tell me, or redirect me to the right topic:

Which map should I use if I want to get big land mass with reasonable
level of oceans though. I'm not happy with continents, nor custom continents.
Sometimes I can see screens from your games and I always wonder what kind
of map is it?

The Smartmap Script offers many customizations, you can tune the level of ocean and land masses directly and many other things too.

Perfect World2 is the map you are looking for. Be warned that it take a while to load the map.

Thank you both for the advise. I tried Perfect World 2 and my first impression was:

Right above my capital there is a area of around 20 grey hills (4x5). Realistic? Yes it is. Friendly for development? I don't think so.....

After second glance I like it for some reasons, but it is a kind of challange. Of course this
is just one map I played, so my comments are very shallow as for now.
