Does anyone know of any good web sites for player designed maps. The SMAC random map generator is a lot better that the civ ones, but player designed make for a much more balanced game.

Check out http://civilization.gamestats.com/
I personally prefer the Earth map - no fungus!

I have about 6 or seven completly different maps up on the Alpha Centauri Zone at http://alphazone.cjb.net. A lot of tiny maps can be found at the Alpha Centauri Nexus (http//www.sidgames.com/ac) and Alphafan.com

Has anyone tried tweaking some of the "worldbuilder" values in the alpha.txt.
I wasn't very happy with some of the maps being generated so I tried adjusting some of the values. Specifically, I changed the "deep water" value from 15 to 10, and the "shelf" value from 10 to 15. I also, play on huge maps, with 50%-70% water, strong erosion, average lifeforms, dense cloud cover.
I'm not sure if it's something they've changed in ver. 3 or not, but lately, the randomly generated maps (with the above settings and changes) seem to be a bit better (at least for me).
