Douze is a great map and one of the staples of cube.
Was never intended as a flag mode especially in 10v10 publics. Not to say it wasnt fun. I used to hop on these servers to train my aim a little and not worry about flags. The biggest problem with it is it had players constantly playing the same thing over and over which many fps have, but as you play other maps and get exposed more to the game, you start to appreciate it as it exists as a whole, rather than a microcosm of mechanics.
similar to players starting to play tosok, they then get into ctf (presumably through douze) and then eventually start playing the other modes. There's a wide variation and a lot of creative in many other maps (i encourage everyone to talk to undead or exoduss about their maps). If you choose to remain narrow-minded about the game and decide whats fun and not yourself (a problem the devs stand accused of), you run into the issue of self-defeat.
tl;dr
explore the game for what it is, and have fun doing it. stop worrying about getting your way.
