is an automated, user-friendly total-conversion map generation utility primarily used by the grand strategy modding community to build custom worlds from scratch. In games like Hearts of Iron IV (HOI4), creating a map manually requires editing complex bitmap coordinates, balancing province distributions, and configuring dense index files. MapGen v2.2 streamlines this by converting basic, color-coded images into fully integrated in-game geography, complete with automated province generation, state outputs, and terrain mapping.
Once you are satisfied with all your input maps, MapGen v2.2 will compile them into the final set of files needed for Hearts of Iron IV . These files are then integrated into your mod's folder structure. Comprehensive video tutorials are also available for those who prefer visual guidance.

Mapgen v2.2 is an advanced procedural terrain and world generation engine designed to create realistic, highly customizable 2D and 3D maps. Built on an optimized noise-based architecture, it allows users to generate vast landscapes—complete with biomes, river networks, tectonic data, and climate systems—in a matter of milliseconds.
To use the tool effectively, you must provide several "input" image files (typically in The following code snippet demonstrates how to use
Generates random, non-overlapping provinces.bmp layouts and pairs them with a corresponding, error-free definition.csv file automatically.
Map data structures are optimized for rapid JSON serialization, allowing large maps to be saved or transmitted with minimal data overhead.
Writing a fantasy novel? MapGen v2.2’s allows you to input a text seed (e.g., "The crumbling empire of the iron dwarves") and the AI-assisted terrain generator will produce a map that matches the mood — craggy peaks, polluted rivers, and sparse mineral deposits.
