You may use an auto-generated map, utilise an image as a source or create your own map from scratch. This project is currently under development. About once a month I deploy an update with new functions and bug fixes. As a result, wiki pages can be outdated. The wiki is community run, so it is updated as quickly as our kind members are able. If you notice that something is outdated, please feel free to [join in!](https://github.com/join?source=header-home) - -The project goal is a procedurally generated map for my *Medieval Dynasty* simulator. The map will be interactive, scalable, fast and plausible. There should be enough space to place at least 500 burgs within 7 countries.
