On a different note, what about a regular free for all team game, but try to have each team consist of a vet plus a newb. It would be like having a mentor. The small teams would make the diplomacy less unwieldly and open to misunderstandings, while people would still have the benefit of playing at least against some vets.

True, in that case, I'd rather the water nation be a noob, I wouldn't want a vet "bursting onto the scene". I'm open to any other map suggestions though.
