This was the scenario I had the most requests for. If you see the other thread, you'll notice the comments regarding that. I certainly wanted to make them all available but that is not currently possible.
The map was originally designed with that setup in mind, with the strongest units produced in the rear, likely to arrive at the battlefield a little later. There should be a prolonged struggle for the desert and its resources, particularly the likely game-winner located in the central ruin. There will be a lot of tough decisions for teams to make: whether the central players should rush to gain the desert or solidify their own position/production (especially since rushing the desert will require teamwork); whether the end players should move out without their best production and vector it to the front; who should go for what cities in order to maximize their expansion rate, etc.
I'd also like to run a 2v2v2 where two teams take the central 4 spots around the desert, and the other team each has one end spawn. Also not possible with the "Not Used" feature currently broken.
