Here's my shot at a list, though looking at the above some of that looks pretty good too.
Altered SC Maps (Starcraft with some extreme gameplay changes--UMS Style). Bounds Cat N Mouse (Alternately this could also go under Tag & Dodge Maps) Deathmatch (Kill People, Duels, MTG, Etc.) Defense Maps (The kind where units are coming from wherever and you have to keep them from reaching the end of the map). Games (non Sport ones) Madnesses (Your units keep spawning and you keep killing other guys stuff) Movies (Just watch maps..) Diplomacy (Could include Civilization) Protect Maps (Protect the Whatever...) Simulation (Civil War, Civilization, Colonization, Diplomacy, Dynasty Warriors, Fall of Rome, LOTR, Napoleon, Rise of Rome, Star Trek, Star Wars, Troy, Wheel of Time, WW1, WW2, WW3, etc.) Sports (Based on actual sports, the fictional ones would be games) RPGs Tactical Tag and Dodge Stuff Team Fortress & Sniper Stuff Vs Comps
These are all actual categories I use in organizing my own maps...of course I have a lot more specific ones but I stuck with some of the more general ones for this since we seem to be want general categories as long as there not too general. My thought is we should want to be specific enough that no one map really fits under more than 3 categories since 3 is the max you can assign.
