Well I've spent far too much time fruitlessly searching the threads for an answer so I'll just start a thread to ask my admittedly very basic question:

I reroll my maps a lot and won't settle a capitol in dubious territory. To streamline the process, I want to edit the game file that holds my preset preferences so I do a minimum of clicking (quick combat, map size, difficulty level, etc. all set as I want until I decide to edit them differently).

What is the name of the file that holds this info and where is it located? For the life of me I can't find it.

Also, any other tips about streamlining and dealing with the front-end screens are appreciated.
 
The most I could find is Documents/My Games/Civ 5/config.ini

On the bottom there are values like:

Code:
; Force quick combat animations
QuickCombat = 0

; Game Name
GameName = My Game

; Worldsize options are WORLDSIZE_DUEL/WORLDSIZE_TINY/WORLDSIZE_SMALL/WORLDSIZE_STANDARD/WORLDSIZE_LARGE/WORLDSIZE_HUGE
WorldSize = WORLDSIZE_SMALL

; Climate options are CLIMATE_ARID/CLIMATE_TEMPERATE/CLIMATE_TROPICAL
Climate = CLIMATE_TEMPERATE

; Sealevel options are SEALEVEL_LOW/SEALEVEL_MEDIUM/SEALEVEL_HIGH
SeaLevel = SEALEVEL_MEDIUM

; Era options are ERA_ANCIENT/ERA_CLASSICAL/ERA_MEDIEVAL/ERA_RENAISSANCE/ERA_INDUSTRIAL/ERA_MODERN
Era = ERA_ANCIENT

; GameSpeed options are GAMESPEED_QUICK/GAMESPEED_STANDARD/GAMESPEED_EPIC/GAMESPEED_MARATHON
GameSpeed = GAMESPEED_STANDARD

; Victory Conditions
VictoryConditions = 11111111

; Game Options
GameOptions = EMPTY

; Max number of turns (0 for no turn limit)
MaxTurns = 0

; Allow AI in multiplayer games
EnableMultiplayerAI = 1

; GameType options are singlePlayer/spLoad
GameType = singlePlayer

; Map Script file name
Map = Assets/Maps/Continents.lua

Please backup this file if you plan on changing it, and I'm not responsible if it screws up your game.

I also do not know if this is what you're looking for, but this is the closest I can get.
