Clockwork Wars setup guide

Generate a Clockwork Wars hex map by player count, with spread-out capitals and balanced territories.

How to use the Clockwork Wars tool

1. Select the player count and generate a hex map.
2. Place territories and capitals according to the preview.
3. Compare the capital spacing and surrounding territories before setting out the remaining components.

Capital spacing is one part of a fair start. Review access to neighboring territories with your group.

What this setup tool prepares

Clockwork Wars map setup brings together hex territories and capitals. The helper lets your group view the arrangement before laying out the shared board. Starting positions deserve a broader check than simple separation: capital spacing and access to neighboring territories are both useful things to discuss while reviewing a generated map.

Before you start playing

Set the player count and choose the map source before generating. Match the territory arrangement and capitals, then compare the surrounding areas of each start. Finish the remaining component preparation using the rulebook. A spacing comparison is a setup aid and does not guarantee equally strong opening strategies.
