It might be helpful to include one (or more) examples of what the minimap looks like, just for easier visualization of the overall structure of the map (especially for people who haven't played the pup to see the maps). Anither thing that could be improved in these 'map presentation' videos is to also take a look at how these maps scale into team games. Especially for 4v4s the positions where people spawn (in particular distance to the nearest enemy and distance to the nearest ally) has a major impact in how the game plays out: If you spawn far from the enemy then feudal (and sometimes even castle) pushes become a lot harder to pull off just because of the walking distance. If people spawn close to their teammates that can lead to the enemy's bases turning into one giant base making it harder to find good angles for early knight raids (this is most clearly visible on danube). For some maps, terrain barriers also make the game 'naturally' devolve into 1v1s or 2v2s. f.e. Confluence splits the map in half, creating a dynamic where people often fight two parallel 2v2s with fairly little interaction until a team starts winning on one side of the map. Players' starting positions also majorly differ from map to map (f.e. dry arabia spawns each team in a half-circle with the flanking players close to the enemy, while hill and dale has huge distances between the teams), which might make it interesting to look at this kind of thing for the maps.
