Optimizations and more
[ 2024-05-21 14:25:42 CET ] [ Original post ]
- Save file size reduced by up to around 50%
- Save speed increased
- Settings: New button "Large Map": Enlarge map to 5 times its original size (beta). Warning: RAM load and loading & saving time of the map increases with each object!
- Settings: Export screen resolution increased to 9600x5400. Adjustable in Settings
- Settings: Display of performance values such as VRAM used
- Performance: VRAM load reduced. Improves render performance slightly overall
- Performance: Generation of plots e.g. forest increased up to about 30%
- Performance / UI: Larger area for forest plot: "Populate" button visible in UI when regular maximum plot size is exceeded. Forests up to 3 times the size are now possible. However, filling must be triggered manually (currently only possible for forest)
- Performance / UI: "Collision Check" can now be switched off for paths and plots via button in UI. If deactivated, a forest, for example, is populated about 50% faster, but it is no longer checked whether, for example, a road goes through the forest
- UI: Icons and preview of objects revised. Preview in tooltip enlarged
- UI: "No Border" button for e.g. field and cottages
- UI: "Hide UI" button now top right in UI
- Steam Workshop: When downloading maps from other users, the deco images are not downloaded because they are not available anyway

Canvas of Kings is a minimalistic mapmaking tool that focuses on randomness and auto-generated elements on user-definable and interactive paths and plots.
Use flexible paths and plots
You can define your map with paths and plots that you can adjust at any time. The automatic object placement supports you. In this way, you can directly create a wall with towers or simply an entire forest.
Place lovingly hand-drawn objects
Instead of placing and adjusting individual objects, you can randomly vary the object properties directly and use object categories to create a varied map without extra effort. The objects can also be combined. For example, you can place crates on towers or walls and move them together.
Customise the lighting and weather
Use the built-in lighting and weather system to change the atmosphere of your map the way you like it. Configure different details or simply choose a template.
Export a definable area, with or without a grid
Create an export area and the grid how and where you want. You can export parts or the whole map for print or digital use. You can also save your settings as a template for future maps.
What you can't do with this tool (yet)
- Create fully procedurally generated maps
- Paint the landscape in the classic way
- Create interior views of buildings or caves
- Insert texts or decorative elements
- Import custom assets
- Export to VTT format (except: png/jpg, with/without grid. Map is saved as .json)
- Create animations
- There are certainly other things... :)
About the developer and this tool
I'm actually working on a trading simulation called Might of Merchants alongside my family and full-time job. For this I have developed some tools. I was asked if I could publish them. So I put in some work and created this software. It's not perfect and not finished yet, but I would be very happy if you use it and thus support my work.
Your feedback is very welcome!
