Newfriend here, how exactly do map games work here?

People start games, they have lore, maps, but how does it work as a whole?

Welcome! I'm honestly not sure how to answer in general, but I'd start out by saying that there's a whole slew of different types of MGs, so how they work tends to vary from game to game.

There's the SW page on the wiki, though that doesn't usually describe the game rules. A good place to look would prolly' be the first page of a lot of games. For example, Historiae Mutetur has their rules on the first page.

There's always the ISOT/new map games planning threads as well, though those are mainly for discussion of ideas.

Here's the ISOT planning thread (it's mainly used to plan out series of games like FISOT or individual games like AKISOT or PISOT) https://www.alternatehistory.com/discussion/showthread.php?t=240871

And here's the general new games/ideas thread. https://www.alternatehistory.com/discussion/showthread.php?t=156309

Also, there's the Countries of an Alternate World thread (basically coming up with a PoD and then filling a blank map with nations based on the PoD). https://www.alternatehistory.com/discussion/showthread.php?t=313270
