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 older sites and hosting disappeared, parts of the map collections became fragmented or inaccessible. YoyoYoshi later rebuilt the database using recovered map records, metadata reconstruction, image matching, creator attribution, and a new relational system. Historical entries now sit alongside approved current submissions.

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.
