It was recommended in the map forum that I post this here, as it's rule changes on top of a modpack, which makes sense. Here's the original message:
I like playing small maps, and accelerated production as well. I also like playing maps that have personality, which the small randomly generated civ3 maps generally don't have. So I made my own. I call it the "Balanced Three", since the main continent looks like a 3.
It also has a New World ripe for colonization which makes things very interesting.
I also intended for resources to be spread to create an especially strategic game.
The map was created using Rhye's of Civ Expansion graphics and base rules, but the rules have been heavily edited to account for accelerated production and certain preferences of mine, most notably, relatively equal civs, but also no travel through desert or tundra. The map might work if imported into regular civ without the rules, but I haven't tested that.
This map has been heavily playtested by me, but I'm interested in what anyone else has to say. If you play it through, let me know which civs are strong and which are weak.
I also included two other maps I made along the same lines, but they are not so well play-tested. They're called Great Lake and Wide Map.
Also, if you know of any other good small maps, 100x100 or so, let me know. I keep finding these great huge maps that take forever, especially when accelerated.
EDIT: quick screen shot added from the editor. Shows the expansionist corner, with the Americans, Arabs, Romans, and Japanese, as well as the mini-map. If someone could let me know how to place it directly in the message, that would be nice.
