I didn’t notice that it was a move glyph and I agree with your justifications on both glyphs. Especially with the road on this map making the move glyph less important but still a minor advantage. Completely justified in my eyes. As far as the attack first turn goes, it is not a game breaker for me. As I mentioned above the LOS restricts it somewhat and starting placement may counter it all together. By posturing on that side you would be giving up the road advantage so there would be a downside to it as well.
For Jungle fever I feel continuing the swamp water up to the lava field by the glyph (less visually appealing) would solve that issue As for the sand spots adjusting the hive to restrict line of sight from those spaces would help me feel better about it. (I dislike armies that don’t have to move)
Again just personal opinion and I would gladly build this as is and play on it.
