I need help or some recommendations for how to best get started. I love the game, but no map is good enough for me. Some player made maps are really beautiful and detailed, but are too much of a challenge for me cuz they have 5,000 mouths to feed and employ. I dont really like maps with no pop, but maps with too many people seem unrealistic. I wish they started with little capitalist ecosystems that you socialize in the first year or so.

Any links to your favorite or homemade maps would be appreciated!
