There could also be some sort of tower in the middle, which when captured would provide bonuses. Maybe archers can go on it to garrison, with increased range?

loving this!

Sounds like an interesting variation, could work nicely. Your map makes me think 'step pyramid'.

Well maybe You could have just the pathway to the center or make it 3 teams so its like a triangle. But yes they shouyld try to make it so u can have more teams. This will make the game more strategic. You will have the choice go on the offensive and getting slaughtered by the full force of both the ooposing teams orstay defensive. I also think that their should be a center flag that greatly helps your team. FOr example it could make a spawn or have an aura or be a strong defensive tower so u are able to attack whithout the other team killing u.

That would be sweet. Whats not to love about a giant battle in the middle with mini battles on the outsides lanes????? I really hope there is some kind of map resembling this. The 2v2v2v2 idea sounds like way to much fun.

yeah, that's why I brought up the "titan" idea.

Any other ways of lowering the number of creeps in play at once?

The entire map is on a giant rotating wheel.  As the wheel rotates it blocks one gate for each team at all times but allows creeps to spawn through the others.  The wheel is timed to match the creep spawns, and makes it so that 8 gates (on a 4 team map) will be active at any given time. 

If you don't want to go to the trouble of designing an entire map around it, just make it so that gates are activated by flags and that no team can control more than two at any given time.  That way you can chose which enemy your creeps are going toward, which adds some strategic depth. 

You might want to read my first post it some ideas but i dodn't like the wheel idea but the portal idea could work but 1 question. are u suggesting theirs only gonna be 1 person each?also the flag idea doesn't seem so good because u should be able to block them out because that will make it more interesting. I have another question how do u suggest we make the creeps go to the team were gonna attack?

I think the team should be able to continue to watch the game but shouldn't be able to type in case they try to help one team. Way a moment is their fog of war in Demigod.

2v2v2v2v2

3v3v3 could work too, certainly, this was just the idea i had in my mind. Once upon a time I was going to edit the Dota map to be like this. Only problem was I knew nothing about creating maps like that.  

Also, 1-10 people means the game can play up to 10 people, but that does not mean every map has to. The mine map for instance is a 2v2 map, so only 4 people can play on that one. I could ask for a 2v2v2v2v2 map, but the problem with that, and even with the 4 corners one is that each team would have to have a portal directed at the other 3 teams. That means that all 4 teams would have 3 portals, making 12 portals. Having 12 portals spawns a LOT of creeps (Atlantis is a 5v5 map and only has 6 portals), and having an insane number of creeps could potentially slow down a lot of computers during play.

I as thinking maybe having no middle (or at least using the middle for something else other then lanes) and having the creeps go around the outside lanes but their pathing sends them to the opposite corner, so as player 1 you start by send your creeps to 2 and 3, but lets say player 2 is defeated. Then your cereps would continue down towards player 4. Maybe even when player 4 is defeated. those creeps that were attacking player 4 would move to the left to attack player 3 from the right side. What do you think of that?
