Yeah, I have made uber maps before. The fact that you can set a resource seed in the map editor only makes it easier. Then, you can cover your perfect area with river and make it even more perfect. Then, make your own scenario and start with 15 settlers, and 5 engineers from no where. Now, set the amount of turns to as high as it goes with out becoming negative. (This is the equivalent to setting back time in Civ1)
Now, put yourself in a "lake", surrounding the outer shore with mountains, and later build your self a fortress to be the landing point. To make it easier, in game make a railroad under the drop-point of the ship. (do this by first changing the sea into some land tile. you can also do this to fortify ships somewhere)
Now not only can you achieve future tech with uber terrain and a slight starting advantage, you can't die unless you suck.
Personally, I like to be fundamentalist once I reach environmentalism.
