Atlas’ Bazaar – A Map Trading Post (Coming Soon!)
Hello, and welcome to Atlas’ Bazaar! This is a space where I’ll be offering custom Fire Emblem maps for trade!
There have been really great discussions within the mapping community about making f2u maps. After some time and lengthy internal debates, I’ve chosen to not make public f2u maps for the community out of respect the wishes of my fellow mappers in the community. Theghostcreator has a great post on the mapping passalong thread about why some mappers may not want to make f2u maps. It kinda sums up the thinking behind it in a better way I would’ve.

However, I still wanted a way to give people maps that I don’t use, and I didn’t want to charge people with money either. Instead I’ve decided to create a trade forum where people can trade me assets or other stuff in return for my f2e maps.
If you have assets or art you can offer them in exchange for a map. The goal is to create a system where both parties benefit while keeping quality content circulating in the community.
How It Works
-
I will post available maps in this thread.
-
Maps are claimed on a first-come, first-serve basis.
-
Some maps will be free to claim, while others will require a trade, depending on their size and complexity.
-
If you’re interested in a map, reply to the thread or send me a DM with what you’d like to offer in return.
-
Once we agree on a trade, I’ll send you the map, and the trade is final.
Guidelines
-
Maps are F2E – You are more than welcome to edit and change elements of the maps. Please do not redistribute the maps.
-
Fair trades are expected – The complexity of the map will determine the trade value (some don’t require a trade). I’ll clarify what I’m looking for when posting each batch.
-
One map per person at a time – To keep things fair, you can only claim one map until the next batch is posted, unless stated otherwise.
-
Edits Post Trade – Once a trade is completed, you are welcome to ask for edits to your map with no additional charge.
What Qualifies as a Trade?
Since this is a barter system, I accept a variety of assets in exchange for maps. The value of a trade depends on the size and complexity of the map. Here are some examples of what I consider a fair trade:
-
Sprites & Portraits – Custom or edits of character portraits, battle sprites, or animations.
-
Writing & Proofreading – Assistance with proofreading scripts, improving dialogue, or refining story elements.
-
Playtesting & Feedback – Testing my project and providing constructive feedback.
-
Artwork – Concept art, UI elements, or other original pieces that can be useful for my projects. Pls make fan art lol.
Trades don’t have to be one-to-one. A large or highly detailed map may require a more substantial trade, while a smaller or simpler map might only need a minor contribution. If you’re unsure whether something qualifies, just ask. I’m open to discussion as long as the trade is fair.
The first set of maps will be available soon. Keep an eye on this thread for updates! If you have any questions, feel free to ask. Looking forward to trading with you all.
