Azgaar 奇幻地图生成器
Azgaar’s Fantasy Map Generator (2018)
2019 — 2021，它一次次回到首页
黑点是上首页（≥ 50 分）的那次投稿，空心点是没冲上去的投稿，点越大分数越高。
导读
Azgaar 的奇幻地图生成器是一个免费开源的网页工具，可交互式地随机生成带有地形、河流、政治疆域、宗教、气候等图层的虚构世界地图。它生成的地图在地理上相当可信，是奇幻小说、跑团和世界构建爱好者的常用工具。
为什么经久不衰：它把程序化生成做到了既美观又地理上可信的程度，且持续维护多年，对创作者和算法爱好者都有持久吸引力。

详细评价生成地图的可信度：整体出色，河流和命名尤佳，但气候与宗教图层还有改进空间
我很喜欢它生成的地图。创作虚构地图时，可信度对我非常重要——一张地图可能看起来很美，但描绘的地方即使加上奇幻元素也说不通。政治地图的配色独特而协调，一个国家内的命名在语音和拼写上保持了一致性。地理方面也做得不错：河流是奇幻地图制作水平最露馅的地方，而这里的河流相当可信；山脉会成山脉系。不过我也发现了一些小问题，比如有个内海的水排进了自己。我很喜欢它的气候生成功能，希望能看到盛行风、冬夏变化、更接近柯本气候分类的东西。

I really like the maps this generates. For me, plausibility is really important when creating any fictional map, because it's possible to create a map that looks beautiful but depicts a place that doesn't really make sense even with fantasy elements incorporated. The color scheme of the political map is highly distinctive but feels cohesive. There's a decent phonetic/orthographic consistency in the naming within a state. The religions layer doesn't feel particularly integrated with the political one, for instance I found a theocracy without an organized religion. The geography is also pretty good. Rivers are one of the telltale signs of poor fantasy map building, but this makes pretty believable rivers, though I did find a case of an inland sea draining into itself. It's good the mountains form ranges, but it would be interesting to have some more evidence of volcanism. I found one map with a huge area filled with mountains in an unrealistic way but I had a fun time imagining how it may have gotten that way in a fantasy world. I really like that it has some climate generation and I'd love to see more, things like prevailing winds, winter/summer variation, and more of a Köppen climate classification[0] than the biomes currently listed, but I know this is a fantasy map generator and those require parameterizing more the nature of the planet being mapped. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Köppen_climate_classification
推荐同作者的姊妹项目——中世纪城市布局生成器
如果你喜欢这些国家地图，你大概也会喜欢这个：一个可请求指定规模的随机中世纪奇幻城市布局生成器，同样是基于网页的交互式应用。

推荐更早的灵感来源 mewo2 地形生成器，其分步交互演示很有教学价值
一个更早的项目，某些美学风格下效果非常好：mewo2 的地形生成笔记。它同样开源，页面对生成过程的每一步都有交互式演示，很有意思。（补充：Azgaar 的项目也把 mewo2 这个列为灵感来源之一。）

A slightly older one that produces very nice looking results for certain aesthetics is https://mewo2.com/notes/terrain/ As well as also being open source, the page gives interactive demonstrations of each step that the process takes which is interesting. (edit: clicking round a bit more, Azgaar's project lists the one at mewo2 as on if its inspirations/influences)
好奇奇幻地图为何如此吸引人，猜测与探索欲和开放世界的魅力有关
有人能帮我理解我们对奇幻地图的迷恋吗？为什么看到它们会感到振奋？是因为期待探索复杂地形、故事、文化、种族时预期的多巴胺奖励？还是因为一张开放的地图呈现出的无限可能？这是不是也是我当年痴迷于天际线、博德之门、辐射和开放世界游戏的原因？

Can anyone help me understand our facination with fantasy maps ? Why do I feel inspired or awesome when looking at them ? Is it because of the anticipated dopamine hit from the expected discovery of the complexity of the terrains, stories, cultures, races etc ? Is it because of the endless possibilities that an open map presents ? Is it why I was crazy about skyrim, Baldur's, Fallout & open worlds back in the days ?
