Advance Wars Design Maps Database β€” 1,351 Map Entries
Curated, restored, and maintained by YoyoYoshi for Advance Wars Revolution (awRev)

The awRev Advance Wars Design Maps Database contains 1,351 community-created map entries drawn from restored historical collections and approved current submissions.

Players can browse and search by map title, creator, gameplay category, game, map size, number of players, and tags. Depending on the surviving or submitted material, an entry may include an image, creator attribution, description, metadata, categories, a downloadable map file, and community comments.

The database currently contains 70 awRev/current entries and 1,281 recovered AWN Design Maps. The category data includes competitive, campaign, themed, experimental, multiplayer, and other custom-map classifications.

The database combines maps from the original 2005–2007 awRev community, recovered AWN Design Maps, and approved current submissions. awRev also hosts Advance Wars guides, walkthroughs, community resources, and the current Design Maps submission system.

Historical maps are presented as works created by individual community members in the context of their original era. Their inclusion in the database does not imply current endorsement by awRev of a map's subject matter, description, historical interpretation, political framing, or other viewpoints expressed by its creator.

The database keeps historical and current maps searchable in one system while preserving creator attribution where available. Contributor pages, map metadata, categories, comments, and current submissions provide the surrounding context.

Advance Wars Design Map History, Credits & Restoration

AWN Design Maps was originally created by Kamek and later maintained by The Sleeping Leg and Roma_emu. YoyoYoshi also served as an AWN Design Maps moderator, helping review and approve map submissions during the original community era.

The original awRev Design Maps section was created by Syzygy and served the awRev community during the site's original 2005–2007 lifespan.

As older sites and hosting disappeared, parts of the map collections became fragmented or inaccessible. YoyoYoshi later rebuilt the database using recovered map records, metadata reconstruction, image matching, creator attribution, and a new relational system. Historical entries now sit alongside approved current submissions.

Restored entries retain creator attribution and relevant historical context where available. Because many maps originated years ago and reflect the interests, terminology, humor, assumptions, or viewpoints of their individual creators, historical inclusion should not be read as present-day endorsement by awRev.

AWS Advance Wars Map Editor Download

Built by Roma_emu, AWS (Advance Wars Map Editor) was used for creating and sharing Advance Wars maps in communities including AWN and awRev.

Surviving AWN and awRev collections preserve many maps created with or shared through this period, although this page does not attempt to quantify total historical usage of the editor.

Works on Windows and Linux. Setup instructions are included in ReadMe.txt.

Latest version: AWS 1.0 (August 16, 2007)
