About this TI4 Map Generator
Welcome to the most advanced, browser-based Twilight Imperium 4th Edition Map Generator. Designed for both casual Saturday games and competitive tournaments, this tool creates balanced, legal galaxy maps instantly.
How It Works
Unlike simple randomizers, our algorithm considers "Slice Value"—the total Resources and Influence near a player's home system. In Balanced Mode, the generator swaps tiles to ensure no player starts with a resource wasteland. In Competitive Mode, it enforces adjacency rules (like preventing anomalies next to anomalies) to create a cleaner tactical board.

- PoK Support: Fully updated with Prophecy of Kings new systems, anomalies, and wormholes.
Common Questions (FAQ)
How do I use the TTS String?
Copy the string using the button above. In Tabletop Simulator (TI4 Mod), paste the string into the map setup tool chat or the designated map builder bag input.
What is a standard 6-player map?
A standard map consists of 3 rings around Mecatol Rex. Players are placed in a hexagonal pattern on the outer edge, equidistant from each other.
