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

The awRev Advance Wars Design Maps Database is a searchable collection of 1,351 playable, community-created Advance Wars maps and custom fan-made battlefields.

Players can browse and search Advance Wars Design Maps by map title, creator, gameplay category, game, map size, number of players, and tags. Map entries may include an image, creator attribution, description, metadata, categories, downloadable map file, and community comments.

The database currently contains 70 awRev maps and 1,281 recovered AWN Design Maps. These include competitive maps, campaign maps, themed maps, experimental maps, multiplayer maps, and other custom Advance Wars creations.

Advance Wars Revolution (awRev) is an active Advance Wars community website, strategy guide and walkthrough hub, and Design Maps platform. The database brings together maps from the original 2005–2007 awRev community and the historic AWN Design Maps community alongside new submissions from current Advance Wars players and creators.

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 unified database brings together thousands of hours of Advance Wars map design, tactical experimentation, multiplayer balancing, campaigns, creative work, and community history while maintaining clear creator attribution, contributor profiles, searchable records, and continued community participation.

Learn more about the website, its restoration, and its active community on the About Advance Wars Revolution page.

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 websites, hosting, and archives disappeared over time, much of that shared map history became fragmented or inaccessible. The database was later rebuilt by YoyoYoshi through map recovery, metadata reconstruction, image matching, contributor attribution, and relational system design. Historical collections now coexist with new submissions and continued community activity.

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.
