Having a LAN with a bunch of manchildren this weekend and have managed to get Brood War on the playlist. Only two of us (including myself) have ever played it before but everyone has heard of it and is keen.
The blizzard multiplayer maps are arse and having not played for a long, long time I'm not familiar with current good/somewhat balanced/beginner friendly/fun maps for 4+ players. 8ish player maps particularly are welcome.
There is a thread on this but it is 8 years old. Please help me pick maps to have my little nublets play on!

There are some simple 4 player melee maps that are decent, if rather small (Fighting Spirit and Circuit Breaker come to mind).
For more than 4, other than updated versions of Hunters and money maps, not sure what would be good for that.

Challenger i recommend for 1v1, Island hop can be a nice map for 2-3 player ffa match. Primeval isles for a 5-8plaer match. long games with long min stacks there. If u are organizing a playoff tourney between u manchildren i have no idea. Othello neo medusa heartbreak ridge are nice maps with 2 3 and 4 player max. u might wanna check out tornado, u could try these http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft/Brood_War_ladder_default_maps if use access to a retail bought copy of broodwar.

green valleys is a nice even advantaged map for all players to begin.
|
Check out ladder oldladdder melee and other folders in ur sc map pack the game comes with about 200-250.
|
The iccup map pack has some classics in there. Lost temple is a classic, Python. Big Game Hunters as well for 8 player action.
also you can come over to broodwarmaps.net, theres a huge collection of user-made maps... I'm talkin about thousands of em.

double diamond (island map) ums where your team starts off one the other side - really fun
|
|
I'd want to throw in Killing Fields and Expedition. Big 256x256 maps with vastly varied terrain that gives players a lot of breathing room and interesting possibilities. Definitely a very fun map to play on with a bunch of friends for a big, epic game that you rarely see on that scale in professional or smaller maps.

for 3v3s/2v2s u can try some of the maps by cardinalallin (ums settings featuring allies spawning on the same side). might be easier with scouting/defence etc...
|
Bruh definitely check out python and maybe andromeda, circuit breaker, match point, and neo lost temple. othello medusa
