The biggest issue I see with a lot of your 4 player maps is that they're not balanced for 1v1. The naturals go toward the next base, so if you spawn close positions one player is expanding toward the other while the other player is expanding away from him.

Look at maps like lost temple or metalopolis where your natural is always closer to the enemies base.

I like lost yeild, but I think it needs another base for each player. Maybe put an island between the third and fourth bases, below and above.

Twisted Meadows is too choked up it seems.
The mains on Tropical Paradise are too small.
Forgotten Shrine looks huge.
Day & Night is awesome.

ALL of your maps except for Twisted Meadows and Athena have cardinal direction ramps for the choke to their mains. The mains must have diagonal ramps for Terran and Protoss to be able to wall in correctly. You should test walling in those different types of ramps - it's different and requires more buildings for one of the same size that is diagonal.

I know that I have said this before, but the ramps into the mains of your maps have to be in some diagonal position. Cardinal positions screw up wall ins.
