Announcement: Open Grand Strategy - Map Tool
Creating the underlying province map is one of the hardest parts of starting a grand strategy game development project. Existing modding tools are great, but they are often too restrictive for standalone game development. That’s why I created the OpenGS Map Tool. This is a free, open-source utility designed to generate the colorful province maps and the necessary data files required as the backbone of grand strategy games. It allows you to define ocean vs. land, set hard boundaries (like country borders) that provinces cannot cross, and adjust density with simple sliders. LINKS https://github.com/Thomas-Holtvedt/op... https://github.com/Thomas-Holtvedt/op... JOIN DISCORD / discord FEATURES Generate colorful province and territory maps based on land/sea inputs. Use boundary images to constrain province generation (e.g., historical borders). Adjust province density with sliders. Exports both the map image and the necessary data file (ID, RGB, Coordinates). Available as a Windows Executable or raw Python source code.
