mapgen4 VS Fantasy-Map-Generator

https://www.redblobgames.com/maps/mapgen4/ creates gorgeous world maps in an insanely customizable way. Play around with the sliders and draw tools... it's so good.

MapGen4

I have not decided yet. 3D is very interested but I was intrigued by the redblob games posts about map design, mixing 2d and 3d views. reference: https://www.redblobgames.com/maps/mapgen4/

Starting with Islands and Perilous Shores from Watabou which includes settlements and other points of interest. Mapgen4 also does islands and you can redraw the parts you want to change.

Mapgen 4 is an island gen from Red Blob Games which is now 5 years ago.

You can check out https://www.redblobgames.com/maps/mapgen4/ which is pretty good or the related https://www.redblobgames.com/maps/mapgen2/

Adding to the other answers, there are also -besides Photoshop, Gimp, etc- specialized tools to draw fantasy maps. The site mentions Wonderdraft [0], but there are a bunch of others though not all of them support using external brushes.

Some other tools in this space may be Watabou's tools [1], Azgaar's tools [2], Inkarnate [3], Mapforge [4], or quite a few more which you can find links to in this list [5]. Again: you could use these brushes with some of these; not all support external brushes.

If you're looking for a world map, https://azgaar.github.io/Fantasy-Map-Generator/ is great.

I'm working on a command line program, called Cosmopoeia, which can generate random fantasy worlds which can then be edited in GIS software. The idea was inspired by Azgaar's Fantasy Map Generator, so the results resemble maps created with that.

I've been using Azgaar's Fantasy Map Generator to help with naming conventions. There's a culture set dropdown and I've been using the dark fantasy set. This has sets like "Romian" and "Elladan" with a Latin-like and Greco-like naming convention respectively, and were the basis for the idea of having an Ancient Elven culture. Does anyone know where I might be able to view just the name database for this generator? I'd rather this than having to refresh the map every 5 mins.

Can't believe there's no link to https://azgaar.github.io/Fantasy-Map-Generator/ yet. It's an incredible tool with surprising depth and you can really lose yourself in generating and exploring worlds generated from scratch, their biomes, and the political relationships of nations and cultures.

I've generated and exported map from https://azgaar.github.io/Fantasy-Map-Generator/ to serve as a board for my board game mockup. After several playtests I've thought I could pimp up the graphics of the game even further and started using the SD for generation of the elements. So far it goes well, I've learned a lot already, but now I have huge problem with the map element itself.

Thank you again for the software, coupled with Azgaar's Fantasy Map Generator, this is making my life so much easier.

I have updated the Electron packages latest Chromium, that should fix a number of issues. If you use it, download an archive for your architecture below, unzip and run the executable file or the package:Windows x64 | MacOS arm64 | Linux arm64.

This site allows the genration of fairly detailed fantasy maps that are divided in small sections with different attributes.
