It seems some people are fine with the changes, but I can't figure out how to get any respectable numbers on Perfection as now its a completely different game. It's so slanted toward big economy tribes that I can't even get 60k points with Aquarion on Crazy 13. Sometimes I'm immediately overtaken by three tribes...and I have a fort!

can we just have mirror maps? why does the map need to be random in every game mode?
Officially, we consider "exploration" part of the Polytopia experience. After all, it is one of the 4 X's in the 4X genre.
Also, why remove the original continents map in favor of the new one, rather than just adding a new map? I preferred the old map
For 2 reasons:
It was actually a very common complaint among fans for being really bad. Like, one of the most common complaints over the years.
The reason for 1 is that wasn't very "Continent-y". So, that's what we did, make the "Continents" map into something that better aligns with the name.
Of course, the game has been played on the old, "not really very Continent-y" map for so long that people aren't used to the new one. The old map has flaws, often with spawns and resources, and we wanted to fix them by throwing it out and redoing it entirely.
There has been talk about moving Perfection/Domination over to Lakes, which is similar, but that's not confirmed.
