Well, to add a different perspective to this thread, I'm actually enjoying the aspects that the OP disliked. I started out at the very south west edge of the map, on a rather isolated slab of land surrounded by water from three sides. Having had enough resources to found 4 cities in close proximity to one another along the coastline, I found the only entrance to my empire was through a large forest, mountains on either side of it, and completely chock full of spiders and brigands.
