____________________________________________________________________________

💧 Reimagined Water Tools

Our Lake and Water Body system just got a massive upgrade:

• Lake Tool is now smoother, more stable, and easier to use

• Rivers now intersect seamlessly with coastlines, creating dynamic water connections

• WaterFill Tool has returned as a separate option for more control

🏰 Wall Tool Now Supports More Gates

Building cities and walls just got smarter:

• The Wall/City Tool is now more stable
• You can intersect City Roads and Paths with Walls to auto-generate gates—making your towns and strongholds more alive and functional

📦 Desert, Dwarven & Elven Tiles Are Ready!

We’re excited to announce that the Desert, Dwarven, and Elven tile sets are complete. We’ll be sharing visuals in the coming days!
These tiles will be made available with the 1.0 Steam launch, as we’re currently finalizing chunking and distribution setup for Steam.

Master of Realms – Patch 0.6.0 is Here for Playtesters!
11 months ago – Fri, Apr 18, 2025 at 11:13:23 AM

Hey Realmsmiths!

Update 0.6.0 marks a huge leap forward. We’re introducing powerful new tools that will make your mapmaking faster and smarter — with City Tool, Lake Fill Tool, and Digital Export, alongside Mac support and deeper compatibility features!

Many of these features are marked Experimental, meaning they're still evolving, but you can start using them right now and help shape how they grow. Let’s dive in 👇

🛠️ Highlights

🏙️ City Tool (Previously Wall Tool) (Experimental)

Build cities in seconds! Wall tool is now City Tool and now this tool automatically places wall tiles along the perimeter and fills the interior with city filler tiles. You can even use it to create standalone walls by setting the radius to 0.

🌊 Lake Fill Tool (Experimental)

Turn empty ground into dynamic lakes with ease — this tool detects edges, places coastal tiles, and fills the rest with water automatically. No more separate coastal and fill fiddling.

🖼️ Digital Export

Most anticipated feature is here! Export high-resolution images of your maps with custom sizing — perfect for VTTs, printing, or sharing.

💻 MacOS Build Support

Mac users, it’s here! While still in early testing, MoR is now playable on MacOS 🎉

🍎 MacOS Build Support (Early Access)

• Tested on: Mac Mini M2 Pro
• Requires a Mac with a Metal-compatible GPU (macOS 11.0+ recommended)

Some features may still be under testing or limited, so please report any issues you run into. Your feedback will help us improve the build experience for Mac users.
 

⚙️ Compatibility Layer

Future-proofing starts now. We’ve introduced a Compatibility Layer to ensure smoother transitions for future updates and backward compatibility with your older maps and tags.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Full Chang log:

✅ What’s New

• Added City Tool (Experimental)
• Added Lake Fill Tool (Experimental)
• Added Digital Export for full map capture with custom grid sizing
• Implemented City Wall tile randomization for more natural builds
• Added MacOS platform support
• Introduced Compatibility Layer for future tag updates and legacy support

-

🐞 Fixes & Improvements

• Reworked and optimized the Lighting system for better visuals and performance
• Fixed tile edge sorting issues that caused visual glitches
• Fixed potential character memory leaks
• Fixed screenshot saving bugs post-UE5.5 upgrade
• Improved tag validation and resolved several fatal errors
   

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

🎯 What’s Next?

We’re gearing up for more intelligent draw tools, performance improvements, and a cleaner UI based on your feedback. These experimental features are the first step toward smart mapping, and your input is vital.
