As I have said, I made this map. I want to be very clear about that, and I would rather use a different map than have anyone unhappy. I propose it because:

1. I'd like to get it some pub/play.
2. I think it is more balanced than a random map.
3. I think it looks nice.
4. I think it has interesting connectivity, balance of open spaces and chokepoints.

i would definitely prefer a normal map for my first multiplayer game. something that is easy to understand. I'm worried i will get owned by a map with gates and secret recruiting places etc. what about urraparand? it also has sea for rlyeh.

eight gates is a lovely map, but having a home province within 2 moves of 3 different gates to whereever is a bit too "connected" for my noob brain. i
I foresee me dying to an army than suddenly pops out of a gate i had missed, laying waste to my already feeble strategies
