Hm, I've been playing test games on Desert Eye, and I realized that Desert Eye is the map that Arc and I used in our first two-vs-two game:

We thought after that game that it was unfair to one of our enemies, who was close enough to each of us that we teamed up on him, but his partner was too far away to help. Of course, this was partially because we scouted him out early on, and deliberately conquered independents between him and us so that we could gang up on him.
So, I think we should go ahead and use this map, but be aware that random placement on this map can have important strategic consequences...
