All maps contain walling, dynamic lighting, local sounds, and canopies where relevant to a map. Many of our map packs contain third-party modules to add additional tactics and dynamic play, these include:
![]() Levels allows instant transitions between floors, or moving your token on top of canopies, creating vertical elevation on a map! |
![]() Mass Edit allows drag-and-drop pre-fab buildings and modular dungeons, as well as helping create dynamic environment changes! |
![]() Tile Scroll lets us create moving tiles and canopies, adding scrolling or rotation to static images to create more dynamic animated maps! |
