Eclipse, the BAR map machine
A map generator and online lobby for Beyond All Reason that builds symmetric battlefields with terrain, resources, reclaim, trees, and player starts.
- For
- Beyond All Reason players and custom-map enthusiasts
- Worth noticing
- Mirrored resource spots are grouped and averaged so rounding cannot give one side a richer start.
Field notes
The generator exposes unusually granular controls for a game-map tool, including symmetry type, player count, contested-resource richness, reclaim budget, and biome-specific vegetation. Its conversion process is designed around Beyond All Reason constraints: vehicle traversal is checked, mirrored resources are equalized, and generated ramps are adjusted for playability. The homepage lists Windows, Apple Silicon Mac, and Linux packages.
