Mapperium: a free map maker for fantasy worlds and alternate history
Mapperium is a new free tool from amCharts for people who make maps for fun: worldbuilders, game masters, board gamers, fantasy artists and alternate-history fans. Make a world from a seed or redraw the real one, dress it in an era, and download it. It runs in your browser, on computers and phones.
Fantasy Map Generator
Make a world from a seed: a whole planet or a region, continents or islands, with rivers, mountains, forests, named seas and kingdoms to start from. Names come from 20 traditions, from Elven and Dwarven to Norse, Persian and Japanese. The same seed always makes the same world.
Then make it yours: raise land from the sea or sink it, move borders, rename kingdoms, add cities, roads and labels.
Alternate History Map Maker
Start from today’s world, from one of nine years in history, or from a single country split into provinces, and redraw it:
- Merge countries into empires. Borders inside a nation disappear and its name runs across its land.
- Split countries into provinces, or draw a border by hand to cut a region in two.
- Name nations and regions, and add capitals, points, lines and labels: a war, a trade route, a lost city.
The historical starts: 117 AD, 1200, 1500, 1648, 1815, 1914, 1921, 1938 and 1989.
23 styles
One click dresses the whole map: Atlas 1900, Antique, Ancient, Medieval, Japan, Woodcut, Treasure, Military, Blueprint, Synthwave, Terminal, the new Hand-drawn and more. Your nations keep their colours. Lay the map on paper or a decorated background, change the land and sea for one map, add a title, and pick from 83 projections or a globe.
Boards for games
Turn any fantasy world into a board of hexes or squares for a tabletop game. The land and kingdoms stay where they were; only the tiles change.
Start from a finished map
Twenty-two maps to open and make your own:
- Fantasy worlds: a great continent, an archipelago, a whole planet and a hex board for a strategy game.
- Lands from stories: Treasure Island, the Land of Oz, Utopia, Atlantis, Lilliput and Blefuscu, the island from The Beach, and more.
- Alternate history: Rome Never Fell, The Central Powers Won, The Mongol Empire Endured, New France and more.
Keep it, send it
- Download PNG (up to 4000 px wide), SVG to finish in your drawing app, or HTML.
- Copy link puts the whole map in the link. Nothing is stored on a server.
- Sign in with your amCharts account to save maps, and publish them with a paid account.
Free downloads carry a small “Made with amcharts.com” credit; Pro downloads don’t.
And play it
Any map with two nations or more can be played in Empirium, a strategy game against the computer: your nations are the sides, and dice decide the battles. There are twelve maps made for it too, from The Seven Continents to Sengoku Japan.
