About
Map Lords is an independent project, designed and developed in France by Moussa Troiano.
The project
The starting idea was simple: a conquest game that launches in one click, plays in a few minutes and fits on a real map. No account, no download, no waiting. The first version, released on 8 October 2026, only had the France map, three units and a few buildings. The game then gained a three-level AI, online play, the Discord Activity, an English translation and the Europe map. Every step is in the changelog.
Our choices
- Short games: 5, 10 or 15 minutes, to play a game during a break.
- Readable rules: three units that counter each other, simple buildings, a clear estimate before every assault.
- Everywhere: the same game on desktop, phone and Discord, in French and English.
- Lightweight: the game fits in a single page and works offline after the first visit.
Free resources
Map Lords only uses royalty-free resources:
- Maps: public outlines of the French departments, and Natural Earth data (public domain) for Europe. Region and kingdom groupings are specific to the game.
- Fonts: Cinzel Decorative, Cormorant SC and Alegreya Sans, under the SIL Open Font License.
- Sounds and music: Kenney, RandomMind and StarNinjas, under CC0.
- Graphics: made for the game. The logo and icon were created with the help of an image generation tool (Gemini).
