An example of a large map.

Maps are square. Your initial town can be placed "off-centre", i.e. not in the center of the map.

Towns

Different types of towns have different maps.

For local towns, the map is small - 12x12, and always has 10 normal buildings and 1 explorable building.

For distant/hardcore towns, the map is much larger - 23x23 to 27x27.

Each zone of the square has a color. Different color indicate a specific estimated amount of zombies.

Dark green: No zombies
Light green: 1-3 zombies (when hovered over, display the text "Isolated zombies")
Brown: 2-5 zombies (when hovered over, display the text "pack of zombies")
Deep red: 4+ zombies (when hovered over, display the text "horde of zombies")

Zombies respawn every day. Don't expect the zones always stay the same.

The following is known about the Initial Map Setup in Die2Nite:

Maps are square. Regular towns range in size from 10x10 to up to 14x14. The Season 2 update (20 April, 2011) reported that towns could be up to 25x25 in size. However, distant towns of up to 27x27 have been reported.

Distant towns have 20 Ruins Ruins plus an Explorable Ruins Explorable Ruin on them.

Initial zombie distribution centres around special zones - special zones will start with 4+ zombies in them, zones 1-2 from special zones will have fewer.

Town can be placed "off-centre" - a centred 12x12 town would have five rows to the left of it and six to the right (or vice versa) and the same top/bottom. An off-centre 12x12 town would have 4 rows/columns on one side and 7 on the other. An off-centre 13x13 town would have 5 rows/columns on one side and 7 on the other (or 4 and 8). As of 19 Feb, 2011, the largest reported off-set for a smaller was 2 columns: a 14x14 town with the x-axis ranging from -9 to +4. There is so far no conclusive data on bigger maps.
