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.
