I know you only asked for one, but reissen/redemption/forgotten/damnation are also great. I picked forge out of them all because I believe it plays better than most AC maps (it's also symmetrical so it's completely balanced, but the many layers of the map counter the boringness and predictability of the map's symmetry).
I'm interested to hear about your high level background in sauerbraten (here's mine, in case you're interested) on which you formulate your opinions about what makes a "good" ctf map. I hope you're not just talking about the fact that Sauer has 197 maps in the official release and yet only 20% of them are played at all, let alone the even smaller percentage of them that are played competitively. The 20% in question still could have good gameplay, and let's be honest, there are some awful maps in AC's official package that nobody plays. That doesn't mean every map in AC sucks.
AC on the cube 2 engine would need some tweaking for sure, but that doesn't mean it wouldn't work. I get that devs have jobs and other commitments, as one would expect, but in my opinion a dev should have some more ambition for the game he is working on. As Undead said, I think yours is lacking a bit.
