Description
It would be great in the Match Setup screen to be able to combine the skirmish maps which have multiple versions for number of players and then use a "Number of Players" drop down, like the random map UI has. In this case, the drop down would populate with the number of players available per skirmish map versions.
So, if there are "Median Oasis" skirmish maps, with separate map versions for 2 and 4 players, in the map selection screen it would only show "Median Oasis" and not both separate maps. The player or host would choose the Number of Players from the drop down (in this case, the options would be 2 and 4) and the correct map would be loaded.

My guess is, one could create a json or xml file that lists the maps and their map preview image. So, there'd just be a median_oasis.json file that lists the median_oasis_2p and median_oasis_4p maps and then there's a line for "icon."
Or, the UI could do this do this dynamically; It sees there are median_oasis_2p and median_oasis_4p files and properly combines them.
Just spitballing here.
