Hi there people. So a group of friend and I decided to start an Apocalypse campaign, and I am the one to design it. Since there will be more than 2 players, I decided the map approach was the best. I was wondering if anyone knew where I could find some good maps of the surface of a world (not the map of a star system).

Thanks for your help.

There are a bunch of random-world-generator tools floating around the Internet. How big do you need it?

Was thinking about 6 distinct territories. I thought about using the Kronus map of DoW DC, but couldn't find one clean enough to my liking.

If you google "40k campaign map" there are many... even some here on dakka.... last campaign I used the vogen city map which worked well (provided you like city fighting of course....)

I am unfamiliar with the specifics of Apocalypse, so I can't say how well the missions would work for that system, but I found the Streets of Death style of campaign play as printed in Urban Conquest to be useful for both 40k and Killteam.

It comes with a stack of territory cards that can be randomly arranged in a platsic sleeve for a 5 x 5 territory map. Of these territories, most are generic- you get artwork and resource stats for these. But there are also special unique territories that confer special rules. These include a dedicated objective marker to designate one building in the territory as a key building; units who control the objective get access to a key building strategem, and each has a special mission associated with it.

Now Urban Conquest has a bit of a pricetag, and I get nervous recommending expensive things to people. Here are some things to consider before buying:

1] if you already know exactly how you want the campaign to run, and it's really just a matter of finding a map, maybe hold off, because the systems in the book may not fit your plans.

2] the product absolutely has utility for 40k and kill team, so it scales well. You could run pure KT, pure 40k or pure Apoc, or run a campaign that combines two or even all 3 scales.Heck, the streets of death territory cards and sleeve could even work with Aeronatica or Titanicus, though the missions and strategems would need to be modified.

3] if your group is a circle of friends and you're likely to stay in contact for years, splitting the cost would be a great option.

4] if you're a city fight enthusiast, or if anyone in the group is, all the city fight content is included as well, and I think there's a bit more than what we got in CA 2018, but I'm not 100% sure about that.

reality? how about voting districts here in the US? out west, they are sometimes in a grid pattern, but in urban areas (LA, DC, NYC) they can look like a maze. otherwise there are european countries\states ( I think Germany would be a cool one).

There are a few artists who are professional cartographers I know that would happily make you a great looking map, but it's gonna cost you $$$. Like, a couple hundred dollars. It's going to be a kick , professional looking map filled with little details and touches to really make it feel like a strategic map for a campaign. Or you can use any of the widely available map making software out there and have a go at cartography.
