## What is Map Wars?

Fight wars on maps! From replaying US elections to taking over Africa, play through dozens of scenarios made by both the developer and the community!

If you are bored of the existing maps, you can also choose to make your own through the map editor and publish it for the world. Simulate famous battles and wars using 15+ different maps and 60+ levels.

Easy to Play

All you have to do is drag troops from one province to another, but careful strategy and finger agility will be needed as difficulty increases. You can only move troops to adjacent tiles, so managing frontlines is very important!

Community Content

If you're bored of the campaign levels, there are tons of maps made by other players available in community maps.

AI fights

There are many huge maps like the US county map or Chinese cities map that can be used for AI battles which can simulate frontlines during historical battles.
