I was an avid POE player for a while, so I'm sure that had some influence on my decision to call them that. I also just thought maps worked well as a descriptive name for what they do
Obviously the game's Starcraft-inspired - but I've been careful not to use names that are in Starcraft but not in (f.ex.) a dictionary, and I don't think there's much risk of anyone confusing this game with Starcraft.
