Civ IV - What is your favorite map?
 

Poll coming shortly

what's a good source for mods, downloads, etc?

I enjoyed the games I played on highlands and inland seas. Although with both, since there is no ocean, the barbarians were a bitch.

BTW, here's an excellent guide to understanding the various maps that come with the game:

yeah, I really need to add some new civs in, but I'm waiting until they get the grpahics and everything done on them.

After playing nearly 100% continents in Civ 3 I've found myself playing a lot of pangea in 4.

I usually go with huge tilted axis maps with random type
