No-one seems to have posted a map here for a while, so here's one for those among you who like such things... It's a 160x160 Civ3 map of Venus, based on radar scans of that planet's surface. It works best with 8-16 civs.
I put sea level at the median height, so that means roughly 50% of the map is sea and 50% is land. This in turn means that there is more land available for a normal map of this size, so I increased the optimal number of cities so that you can create big empires
without suffering from crippling corruption. This is the only rule change.
Terrain and resources follow Earth standards, although this could never be considered truly "realistic" (coal and oil deposits would be hard to explain even on a terraformed Venus).
Here's a mini-map so you can get an idea of what it looks like.
Have fun!
