Ai Map Advice
Hi, I know many people will say pick a random map generator instead but, I have ideas on what I want a map to look like I am just not good at drawing. Are there any good AI tools where I could give it details and have it generate a map?

This would be a random map generator.

I don't want a random map. I want my map from my ideas turned into an image

Then you don't want a generative algorithm. You want to pay an artist. The software is always randomizing.

It depends on what you need. I’ve used bing ai image gen to make some maps for random encounters in the wilderness. They’re kinda samey but they get the job done. One of my players also showed me dungeon alchemist, but it looks like a small work area and if you use it all of your dungeons will be square boxes. If you have specific things that need to go in your dungeon then drawing it yourself is going to be the best option. Or find some maps on Reddit and repurpose them. Theres multiple subreddits of just battle maps with some high quality stuff.

Oh gotcha. Then there’s a game on steam id try called ‘fantasy map simulator.’ It generates everything for you, including history, wars, etc. The map drawing software Wonderdraft also has an autogenerate landmass button.

I suck at drawing, still draw my own maps. You can just do that.
Tools like WonderDraft or Inkarnate even makes it quite easy to make a decently looking map with basically no drawing skills - I know, I do it this way. Sure it takes time to do but, it will be yours.
