I'll do it both ways.. sometimes to get better start, sometimes worse start. Gold mine in FC bumps difficulty down quite a bit for a start, and that's not what i always want... and every now and then i might want to start coastal / inland etc. -
When I play, I never regenerate map. When I tweak my map script, I do it all the time.Clash of Civilization team member

Why regenerate it? Your starting position may be yucky, but you can't see much that early, and nearby locations may be much better, if not for your initial city, then perhaps for your second.Comment

No
vote? 
Yes, I do regenerate the map. I just absolutely loathe those spots where you start standing next to a lake and are surrounded by 16 forest-covered tiles (plains, grassland, hills) without river and on the 3 remaining squares you find one to be wine, one revealing horses and the last one having rice.
Yeah, I'm not playing that."The state is nothing but an instrument of oppression of one class by another--no less so in a democratic republic than in a monarchy."Comment

I'll regenerate map if the the start looks particularily bad or even if it just looks boring (flood plains/gold for the Xth time gets boring, too). I'll restart within the first 1000 years or so if I find out that I'm right nex to Charlemagne for the 50th time. Nothing against the Burger King, but I like some variety.The undeserving maintain power by promoting hysteria.Comment

I will regenerate only if it's a horrendous starting position and I don't feel like banging my head against the wall.
Or, if I don't have bananas in my BFC.

I think that opinion in the United States is decidedly different from the rest of the world because we have a free press -- by free, I mean a virgorously presented right wing point of view on the air and available to all.- NedComment

Yep, it seems like >50% of the time my nearest neighbor will be either Charley or Wang Kon. It's probably selective memory, based on the fact that they're protective and annoying to bust up, but I should start keeping trackOriginally posted by Ming

50% of the time I start next to Monte or Tokugawa...
No regenerating though, it's nice to have a predictable opponent
