You can download fan-made maps for CIV :D They are usually very detailed and nice, well, at least those that strive to be..
I didn't have time to play in like ages, I would usually play with my GF, she starts all the wars and I protect her with my military as she doesn't like to research or build military units, while I have a hard time keeping the upkeep low :)
If I am playing alone, I specifically try to avoid building any military. Sometimes Gandhi attacks me with nukes but we all know that

Man I wasted so many summers on CIV, don't remind me ... :D
