I wanted to see how the game would handle a custom map, I made this using the mod 4 editor, you can just throw it in your map directory,

Thats a link to the Beta4.xml map file
and the maps thumb
Try it out see how it handles, the land mass is quite large and I tried to get a lot in it to see how it stands up to memory usage.
I did notice something already, it added a bunch of resources I didn't put in, like my starting area started with 3 foods instead of one, and theres like a bunch more foods and gold mines that shouldn't be there, and it also produce's an OOM error.
