I'm interested in seeing what the 'elite mapmaking community' sees as the best of each genre.
I'll start of my own. Please keep in mind you can add in your own genres if you feel (like Melee, Campaigns/Cinematics), but please don't make anything too stupid. I'd also rather not start off a flame war on each post (ie: your map sucks) but discussion is welcome
Here are mine in order. Feel free to include your reasonings if you want
AoS
DotA: Allstars
Hand of Sorrow Knight
Land of Legends/Legends of Eternity (straightforward and fun and original)
Enmity Campaign (i really liked the machine gun wars and it was fairly straightforward)
Tides of Blood/Age of the Zenith/Desert of Exile (too slow for me, but still very good quality)
Honorable Mentions:
Age of Myths. Played once and it was pretty fun; didn't want to include something I only played once though
Other Hero-Based Stuff (like arena):
Requiem of the Gods (like a 10x better version of Anime Fight without the gay and the imbalance. Requires teamwork and is very fun and strategic)
Anime Fight (everyone loves some imbalance now and then)
Nexus Arena (I think it was one of the more customized Hero Arena's and it was loads of fun without being too imbalanced)
Honorable Mentions:
Angel Arena for making two types of hero arenas: the balanced and the 'buy tomes as fast as you can' types
Spawn-type Stuff
Footies (Frenzy... but I'll play anything like Ultimate or even Armageddon)
Ring Wars/Other LOTR-Based Maps (ARDA APPROVED!)/Sereg Dor/Even Azeroth Wars
Tower Defense
Gem TD (was original to me, not playing the poker td. now it's the base for a lot of other td's)
Element TD (straightforward, yet still hard. also eliminates mazing which isn't a bad thing)
Honorable Mentions:
Burbenog TD. a classic
Skibi TD/Zoator TD for including stuff you need to do, other than building towers
Arkguil/Wintermaul/Cube Defence for being models
Mini-Games
Mad Balls/Death Coil Arena/Battle Mages (or dodgeball-type maps)
Are You a Retard (sit down the first time with friends and play this for like an hour. every other play after that is boring though and is just an e-peen measurement)
Slide Kitty Slide (played this yesterday at 2am; fell over laughing like twice and probably woke others up)
Pictionary
Maze-type Maps
Pyramid Escape
Uther Party
Miscellaneous/Other
Pudge Wars
Castle Fight
Card Shuffle
Tech Wars/Boreal Conflict
Pimp My Peon
Spellcraft
also on another tiny note, maps I hate.
HeroCraft for being both imbalanced and boring as hell
Naruto Wars (or Anime Wars) for being both gay-themed and stupid
Ice Troll Tribes so zzz
Heroes and Empires type maps
Roleplaying/ORPGs
Life of a Peasant. I played it with friends and it was funny for a bit. I'd imagine pubs would be race-to-be-rigged-people-go!
Most Tags. Super boring as worker and almost impossible as tagger unless they suck. This includes Vampirism
to a lesser extent, murder at the mansion
your turn hiveworkshop... go!
