Yes; you're breaking the deal.

Any advice on how I could play this way (which was my favorite mode in past Civ games) would be appreciated.

Basically I think if you start a new game with identical settings (climate, AI civs, age...) and type in the seed, then you will get an identical map, but maybe with some resources and starting locations a bit different. Let's say you wanted to replay a game but had no 4000 BC save. If you knew the seed and settings, which you can extract from a later save, you could 'replay' a game.
I'm not sure if it ever got figured out. We might be waiting for the Academy article on world/map seeds.
