Creating a Warzone map is a four-step process. See the links below for instructions on how to accomplish each of these steps.
Creating a War.app map consists of four main steps:
 
# Create an SVG file that defines the appearance of your map.
 
# Enter the map details, such as territory connections and [[Bonuses]].
 
# Test the map to ensure it functions correctly and is balanced.
 
# Publish the map so that other players can play it.


# Create your SVG file (defines what the map looks like)
While simple maps can often be completed in a few hours, larger or more complex maps may require significant testing and refinement before they are ready for public use.
# Enter the details (connections, [[bonuses]], etc.)
# Test the map (play games on it to ensure it works correctly)
# Mark the map as public (allows other players to play your map)
