Click any zone on the map to edit it.

Edit zone
Zone sizeRelative footprint of this zone on the map. 1 is normal; larger zones get more room for objects, smaller ones are tighter.
Guard strength ×Scales how strong the monster guards inside this zone are. Above 1 makes it tougher to clear; below 1 makes it easier.
Guarded treasureTotal value of treasure placed behind monster guards in this zone. Higher means richer, better-defended rewards.
Free treasureTotal value of treasure left unguarded in this zone — free to grab early.
Resources valueTotal value of resource piles and mines seeded in this zone.
Edit route
Route typeHow the two zones connect: a normal border, a guaranteed direct path, a teleport portal, a proximity link, or a gladiator-arena gate.
Border guard valueStrength of the monster guarding this route. Higher walls the zones off for longer; 0 leaves the route open.
Build a road along this route so heroes move faster between the two zones.

Name your template to start — the map preview appears here.

Draft restored.

Each change updates the preview and the explanation beside it.

Press Generate preview to see the map layout here.

ℹ Rough preview — the in-game map will look different
This preview is a schematic of your template's structure — which zones exist, how they connect, and where each player spawns. The game builds the real map with its own layout engine, so expect differences:
  • Positions, spacing & shapes — the engine arranges zones with its own layout rules and draws them as organic blobs, so absolute placement and distances differ from the tidy diagram here.
  • Rotation — by default the map sits at one fixed orientation; with the “spin the map each game” option on it rotates by a random amount every match.
  • Spin direction — on rings and chains the order can wind clockwise or counter-clockwise depending on how the game lays the map out, so a player shown on the left here may appear on the right in-game.
  • Long chains — very long lanes may curl or spiral in-game instead of forming the even arc shown here.
  • Roads — only portal links are marked; the engine lays the rest of the roads itself.
What the preview does reflect: the set of zones, their connections, the player count and spawn assignments, and the overall shape (ring, hub, chain, web, maze…). Use it to check the arrangement and relationships — not the exact geometry.

In this thread, you can generate new templates for the Olden Era and also modify existing ones. A new template will be automatically added to the thread with a preview and an attachment. The editor is experimental, and naturally, I couldn't test all possible use cases: if you sum up all the levers and values, you could test it forever. Therefore, when you find that something doesn't work or works incorrectly, please write about it. The preview only shows the structure and arrangement of zones; in the game, the maps will be different. To generate previews that are 1-to-1, you need to know how the game engine is implemented. But even official templates differ from what the game ultimately produces, so I don't see the point in doing that. -- ⚠️ In versions 1.1.0 and 1.2.1 of the editor, there was a problem with loading maps (it would only reach 90% and then stop), and this problem was still observed in version 1.2.2 (but not in all templates). ✅ As of July 7, 2026, this problem has not been found in any of the templates in this thread in version 1.2.3 of the editor (the templates that had the problem have been patched; they can be re-downloaded and should work, tested on game version 0.80.33)
