I'm just starting to get serious with Civ V (have logged 100+ hours in the past couple of months). My favourite is smaller map (the AI turns take too long on larger maps), and large islands. The islands make war more fun, as you can sail to most enemy cities with your fleet and don't have to crawl through the landmass. Also, once Frigates are available, the land units become largely irrelevant, but the AI doesn't really comprehend that, which gives you a big advantage. I play as Phoenicians, as they get nice bonuses for a water world.

Ooooh boy, the islands set-up is super fun! England is mega OP on that scenario, and if you get Great Lighthouse? My god, so broken :) One thing with the speed of AI turns, you may be able to go into the advanced settings and turn on "quick combat" and "quick movement" settings. These take away the combat movement animations and help speed up the game a little bit (sorry, I didn't run the benchmarks, haha). Enjoy your naval victories, admiral!
