One trick pony? You're a joke. I have played more settings than anyone out there.

Horse's maps are great.
They test you out. Good players have to make their breaks. I love the challenge of relatively bad starts. The maps are realistic and interesting causing early war or massive late game wars.
These players wanting nice even starts and consistent map settings that suit their game play are really not great players. They have simply worked out math strategies that are not in the spirit of playing the impulses of civilisation as it was meant.

We have had some good maps lately - 5 each coord larger than small seems to work well.

One on one is too much luck. You get a good start, good huts, you win, you don't you lose. I like at least four players, on at least a medium map. Also (as in my thread for the new game I like to start) I like to limit the number of cities people can make. In most MP games I'll build at least 50 cities and slowly outproduce my opponents. This is not too much fun and also causes me to get a bit careless (not a fan of micromanagement). Having a rule about fewer cities forces the players to play more strategically instead of just trying to max out every square of land.

Try playing on smaller maps - that can limit the cities to say 10 or 15.

On small maps, we have no problem getting 25 - 30 before you need to start taking some away from other people

I'm talking about 10-15 cities per player.
I think all that time you're spending over at FFZ may be making you go a bit soft in the head Ming.

But I am talking about 25 - 30 cities per player for the leaders... You can pack them in pretty tight (and you need to on a small map)
Players even use the artic edge spaces to build if whales are in reach

yes its not uncommon for two players to have 20 something ciites, another with 8-10 and yet another with none  or with 15 or so...
depending how you pack em...and what terrain you have, etc etc...in x1 movement games you need ciites in order to survive....though i guess that is the same with any settings
its rare, but not unheard of to be leading with only 8-9 cities.
