I have filed #9534 which adds the four that I like the best out of these. If you can suggest some good non-1v1 maps then we can add those too.

Sounds good and looks good. I will browse about through my storage and post a few more.

Couple of team game maps that are popular among others:

http://resource.openra.net/maps/2645/
http://resource.openra.net/maps/5744/
http://resource.openra.net/maps/4973/
http://resource.openra.net/maps/5316/
http://resource.openra.net/maps/6067/ (this map has neutral visceroids that dont auto attack however your units will auto-attack may get them killed)


Another good 1v1 map

Also I feel that Frostwolf and Braided river would make a better selection than Sandstorm and Lost Souls. Although I love those maps, Lost Souls has a straight forward expansion set up that doesn't promote playing more than once on it. And another problem with Sandstorm compared to other maps is that the position of the ore can make a very hard game to win against someone of a bit more experience. Killing harvesters and stealing the opponents ore is incredibly easy.
I feel primarily that Braided River would make a better selection as it is a bit larger, has more expansion potential and it also shows off the jungle tileset in action. Frostwolf can be an edgy map but I feel it is better suited as a official map

ps. Dont you think selecting maps should be based on popularity and quality as opposed to who authored it? Im not sure of the problem with Deterring democracy (it is a VERY popular map) however the only problem with with Letters from Lexington is the visceroid movement. (Other than the fact that Psydev made it)
