Version 2.12

warmakersmall.GIF - 18.39 K WarMaker is a random map generation utility for creating Warcraft 2 maps. It easily generates maps with random terrain or symmetrical random terrain with a push of a button. The various terrain aspects of the map are quickly adjusted with slider controls and the settings can be saved for use at a later time. WarMaker will also save you time when creating your own custom maps. By using a WarMaker generated map as a starter map, you can modify it with the Warcraft 2 Map Editor to your liking in less time than it would take you to create a new map.
