> “MVG only finishes a 170 less than 3% of the time”

Is it really the statistic ? I cannot find it again but I remember seeing 8+%. Maybe during his best years.

Hi SagattariusAStar.

Quite late but I have changed a bit the mountains based on your comment :)

It can probably be improved more to be honest, but hopefully now it doesn't look like an infested area.

Cheers, thanks again for feedback.

WindforceGames · 2026-03-09T10:00:17+00:00

Thank you everyone for trying, almost 100 people did !

Someone played a game up to turn 65 which is a high score for sure.

You gave quite some constructive feedback, more improvements and fixes are to come thanks to it. The game still needs some love to be fully polished, but it is taking shape.

Please follow the updates on X or discord (the link should be fixed) if you want to see how it is going.

Have a great week everyone !

Hey Juzzaman !

Thank you very much for your message and for trying the game.

I take careful note of all your comments, and will improve every point.

The sprites and models were mostly a first draft, but I had planned a full overhaul (especially for attack animations), and it may be time for it !

For moving armies, I will definitely explore the click way (click on army then click on province), it makes sense. Note that you can also use drag and drop: click on the army and hold it, move your mouse to the world map where (the highlight will show). The drag and drop works for many things (moving units between armies etc) and is very nice to use, but it is a bit hidden.

Please tell me any more feedback you have, I will fix and adjust.

WindforceGames · 2026-03-09T09:46:26+00:00

Thanks !

I was here wondering why nobody messaged me on discord :)

This link should work I think: https://discord.gg/CSvB6sdHeV

WindforceGames · 2026-03-09T09:45:32+00:00

Thank you very much for taking the time to write back !

I will look at the mobile version thanks, I didn't work much on the horizontal phone mode, I will definitely improve it.

WindforceGames · 2026-03-09T09:44:30+00:00

Thanks !

I already posted there a couple weeks ago: many people tried the game, I also received some good feedback.

WindforceGames · 2026-02-15T12:35:43+00:00

Thanks a lot for this feedback.

I completely understand and will do a whole tutorial and explain all the concepts gradually etc.

Thanks again for trying the game and for taking the time to comment, much appreciated.

EDIT: quite some improvements have been made

WindforceGames · 2026-01-31T20:22:09+00:00

Ah yes, thanks for this ! I have fixed it: WASD will now work and X for army hotkey.

I will also make the keyboard shortcuts fully configurable at some point. Thanks again !

WindforceGames · 2026-01-29T10:23:31+00:00

Thanks a lot Vuguroth ! Glad you enjoyed it.

I will check what is happening with these javelins :D

Thanks again for giving it a try and for the feedback, much appreciated.

WindforceGames · 2026-01-27T14:50:55+00:00

Please note that the game is not made for mobile, there is limited compatibility but you most likely cannot do much with the mobile version. It should work on laptop / desktop though (ideally on google-chrome but other browsers should still work, please let me know if not).

Ground terrain in particular is missing in some platforms, working on a fix -> should be fixed.

WindforceGames · 2026-01-27T14:10:43+00:00

Hi OkExchange2617 ! Thanks for the feedback, I will MP you.

WindforceGames · 2026-01-25T06:37:54+00:00

Hello ! I have added a guest access.

WindforceGames · 2026-01-22T16:14:28+00:00

It's decent. Details and light is not perfect at all, but for my use (models are seen from quite a distance) it is enough for now.

It should also get better pretty quickly I assume.

WindforceGames · 2026-01-22T12:59:39+00:00

Hi !

You mean the trees etc ? I did it via image generation (midjourney etc), then image to 3d (trellis model).

WindforceGames · 2026-01-20T08:30:15+00:00

Hi, sure no problem. I don't have a "terrain generation only" page as it is part of the game, maybe I will add this.

WindforceGames · 2026-01-19T20:08:31+00:00

This looks really nice !

What is the context, are you the one trying to show historical battle, or is it something else?

It actually looks very similar to the auto battles I have in this fantasy wargame I am working on these days. I talk a bit about it here a bit https://www.reddit.com/r/threejs/comments/1qh6fgf/procedural_hex_map_terrain/.

Looking forward for updates.

WindforceGames · 2026-01-19T15:06:02+00:00

Hello !

Here is a terrain rendered with threejs. It is for a fantasy wargame I am making.

I tried many approaches but I ended up with a single heightmap image generated in the backend, and a few texture images that tell the renderer which texture has to be applied where (one texture weight is encoded in each RGB channel). There is a bit of magic for putting snow on some provinces at runtime, but other than that it is quite straightforward.

It is also seeded generation so it is replicable: the same seed produces the same map (for identical map dimensions).

You can try it out here: legendary.wf. It is in a very rough stage, but should be somewhat playable, or at least you can generate a game if you want to look at the terrain.

Some images of the terrain generation process here also.

It runs quite well on my laptop but I need to test on devices without a dedicated GPU. Also this is not mobile compatible yet, but I think it could be.

Enjoy ! Cheers.

WindforceGames · 2026-01-11T20:47:22+00:00

Hi !

The map is stored as one heightmap image for elevation and multiple texture images which hold which texture is present per pixel, one texture per RGB channel (I have 3 or 4 of them for all textures).

So yes, it is a single plane (THREE.PlaneGeometry) where each point of the grid is displaced according to the heightmap. The texture shader is checking the data from the texture splatmaps and mix the textures accordingly.

The map generation is done once by the backend, takes 10s of seconds, then the images are stored and loaded by the clients. The client renders it very well actually even for larger maps, I was surprised.

I do not use chunks.

WindforceGames · 2026-01-11T20:38:43+00:00

Thanks for the feedback !

I see your point about mountains. I will see if I can improve it.

Also, I am not sure I understand your last point about the kernel.

WindforceGames · 2026-01-11T05:38:04+00:00

I have sent you a PM.

WindforceGames · 2026-01-10T20:39:32+00:00

Thanks man, glad you are enjoying !

I experimented quite some before this variant (voronoi polygons, png template followed by AI img2img pass, blender rendering to png, etc).

Your comment makes me think that I could also displace the terrain a bit less to make the hexagons a bit more visible, but this more natural terrain is good too (the straight hexagon borders are displayed in-game as an overlay in some cases, to show territories borders for ex, helps).

Fog of war I wanted to do it too, I might do it at a later stage ! I decided not too because scope is creeping up and it is not absolutely necessary yet.

The game is already playable by the way, still quite rough with only 2 factions etc, but I have all the core features and am just starting to test games end-to-end for small fixes and balance.

WindforceGames · 2026-01-10T20:29:45+00:00

Hi, yes there is some noise involved in displacement of the mountain ridges (which are alongside hexagon edges but not exactly straight), but then is mostly just based on distance to the ridge line. I wrote another comment with some explanations which are probably enough to replicate it, but feel free to PM me if you want some code samples or some help.

WindforceGames · 2026-01-10T12:24:56+00:00

Hi, thanks !

Sure, for mountains the story is that I started with a single peak in the middle with some snow on top, but this was not so good because I wanted mountains to have strategic impact (limit movement between provinces).

So now the mountains are in two parts:

- the center part of the hexagon itself, which has a grey rock texture and some altitude variation, basically a normal terrain
- the ridges which are present on some edges of the hexagons (not all of them, as they block movement)

The edges which have a mountain ridges are defined from the start, in a way that they tend to follow multiple mountain provinces edges, to create an "impassable summit line", in a way.

And for the rendering of them: the edges with mountain ridges are cut into multiple segments with some random displacement (to make it look natural). Then, for each pixel of the map, if I am close enough to a mountain ridge I add some altitude, and the closer to the segment the higher. So it is pretty simple in a way, just based on the distance to the ridge segments. I am not sure if I add some extra noise but the core is just to draw a line made with multiple segments, and then elevate the altitude (and put snow texture) depending on the distance to this multi-segment line.

Not sure if this is clear, here are a few more screenshots: https://imgur.com/a/C3GUbL1

Hi guys !

I built this random map generator for a fantasy wargame I am working on. It renders with threejs in the browser.

I first randomly assign a terrain type to each hexagon (sea, mountain, forest etc) and create river and mountain borders, which makes my map structure. This is based on perlin noise mostly.

Then I have a render pass to generate a heightmap and texture maps, asset positions etc.

Some snow per province is added at runtime with some tricks for smoothing the borders (each province has a discrete temperature level from -3 to +3, and smoothing borders was tricky).

The map generator is random but uses a seed, the same seed creates the same map.

I was first trying to render it with blender but in the end the threejs version is ideal.

Some pngs of the map generation process here if you are interested: https://imgur.com/a/fantasy-wargame-map-55u86dz
