Are you tired of playing your tabletop wargame on the same old boards that are inevitably created by each player alternately setting up pieces of terrain wherever they choose?
The Wargame Terrain Generator aims to fix this by creating random placements for terrain that will create unique boards that players cant purposely design to get a tactical advantage. This app was designed with Warhammer: Fantasy in mind, but can be extrapolated to work with other tabletop gaming systems.
*** Version 2 Update ***
Version 2 is a big update over the the original and gives much more customization control.
-New Layout for the Settings screen
-Ability to have multiple different settings files saved on your device for different types of map generation
-Save generated maps for later use
-Terrain pieces can now have subcategories so that you can differentiate different types (ex. obstacles)
-Add and delete custom terrain piece types from settings files
*** Version 1 ***
Version 1 boasts many great features to give you control over the terrain that is generated.
-Optimized for tablets and large phones, but should still work on some lower resolution devices
-Grid based system for terrain piece placement on your board in real life
-Grid rows and columns can be customized to your preference
-Board size ratio options to match the gaming board that you use
-Set the minimum and maximum amount of terrain pieces that will show up on the board
-Alter the probability of each piece of terrain type showing up on the board
-Alter the maximum amount of each terrain type that can show up on the board (ex. If you only have one building terrain you would set the maximum amount of buildings to 1)
-Colour coordinated terrain pieces to designate which player sets up what piece
This app is also completely free! It is supported by ads. Banner ads display are on the bottom of certain screens and are placed to avoid accidental taps as much as possible. Full screen ads only display after settings are saved.
Though this app was created with Warhammer Fantasy in mind it can easily be used for other table top games.
