Expem has already done some good work in the past. As he (she?) stated, the original wasn't completed due to lack of creativity. I have faith that creativity will come back.
As far as constructive feedback goes, all maps are missing real screenshots.
DM-AMC-CalderaCrust is a small sized figure 8 map with limited cover and options. Though well aligned for an outdoor map, there isn't really anything to be said about it. It has perfectly solid awe and cast with very weak gameplay. If anything, I'd try and build upon that foundation.
DM-AMC-EdificeDrift is another pyramid styled map in space. It works but it isn't special. Skybox is ripped from Face, I believe. Another map of been there, done that. Not sure how to improve it, really. Maybe add more platforms and an indoor part?
DM-Diminuitive is the best map of the pack, both from a theme point of view as well as gameplay, due to the possibilities of hide and seek. Since it's 95% 1 floor gameplay, I suggest adding in another floor on the top or bottom with breakthroughs so there's some z-axis. If you use jump spots with hammer jump instead of xloc points, bots will auto use the xloc if set to active in these spots to preserve health. Also, if you have xloc on, armor next to a udamage is a no-go. Theme has a few nice graphical ideas.
