This map is on a planet with lots of forest: 

there is only one large continent and almost no islands 
there are some lakes
there is a network of rivers
there are a few montainranges
the only good land is along the rivers and the lakes the rest is covered with forest
there is no glacier ,tundra ,plains (except if you cut down forests) ,no deserts ,swamps or jungles

tips:
don't build ships ,cause they're a wast of resources and time
build explorers and parisans for exploring ,they go easily trough the forest
build forts on rivers and you can easily stop enemy attacks 
It does not matter if you randomize the starting locations or not
the advantage of this map is there is lots of trade ,cities are easy to defend ,you can get a good resources production (because of the rivers and the forests) 
the disadvantage is that cities doesn't become as big as normal ,it takes more time to build
irrigation ,roads ,... (because of rivers)
ofcourse this all counts for your opponents
