Mapping Infinigrad: Suburb Map Generator.


I've been using my random dungeon visual generator to create suburb maps for a while now (details here: https://lizardmandiaries.blogspot.com/2018/05/dungeon-generator-as-suburb-generator.html). I decided to update this and create a specific suburb map generator.

It's a two table system, one for roads, one for buildings.

Table 1: Roads. 

Connect the pieces you get as you see fit. Add your own artistic flourishes. Generate the road grind of the suburb.

Table 2: Buildings. 

Fill in the blocks you created with the road table with buildings. The doors are a suggestion only, buildings could have more doors/doors on different walls. Combine separate buildings into bigger buildings for high density areas.


You should get something like this:


Stock any suburbs you generate with this table: https://lizardmandiaries.blogspot.com/2018/05/suburb-generator-stocking-buildings.html
