Map Making

Map Making is the process of creating custom maps for War.app. Any player can create a map—no membership, purchases, or minimum level requirements are needed.

This page provides an overview of the map creation process and links to detailed guides for each step.

Overview

Creating a War.app map consists of four main steps:

1. Create an SVG file that defines the appearance of your map.

1. Enter the map details, such as territory connections and Bonuses.

1. Test the map to ensure it functions correctly and is balanced.

1. Publish the map so that other players can play it.

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.
