Overworld Hex Tiles (Small)

by Auren-Dawnstar more by them Apr 13, 2023 46 likes 33 downloads

Inspired by other hexagon-style overworld tiles. This particular overworld tile set is prepared at a smaller scale in order to reduce the number of objects rendered. Reducing the load for lower end systems, or reducing screen traversal time for truly massive overworlds.

Themed tiles include:

Abberation (pyramid, tower, worm cluster, organic growth)
Castle (with and without shingles)
Castle Ruins (intact, collapsed, altar, rubble)
Volcanic (ashland, lava pools, dead shrubland, dead forest, volcanic hills, volcanic peak with cave and campsite variants, volcanic spire)
Caves (stone, volcanic, ice)
Desert Village (village, well, ornate)
Dungeon (sunken entrance, standing entrance)
Marble Palace (village, castle, tower spire, temple, statue, altar, shrine)
Merchant (multiple stalls)
Moorgoth (village, castle, cathedral, tower)
Palisade (modular)
Stone Wall (modular)
Village (thatch roof, shingled roof)
Farms

Nature tiles include:

Temperate (light oaks, dense oaks, light pines, dense pines, foothills, mountain with cave and campsite variants)
Swamp (light brush, dense brush, light trees, dense trees, foothills, mountain with cave and campsite variants)
Tropical (light jungle*, dense jungle*, light bamboo, dense bamboo, foothills, mountain with cave and campsite variants) *includes grassy jungle variants
Desert (light palm, dense palm, light cacti, dense cacti, foothills, mountain with cave and campsite variants)
Wasteland (light trees, dense trees, light savanna, dense savanna, foothills, mountain with cave and campsite variants)
Snowfield (light pine, dense pine, light trees, dense trees, foothills, mountain with cave and campsite variants)

Modern tiles include:

Brick Buildings
Chamber Buildings
Concrete Buildings (and generators)
Facility Buildings (and reactors)
Industrial Buildings (and fans)
Outpost Buildings

Update 1.1:

Added supertall mountain variants to each natural biome.
Added small details to natural biome standard mountains.
Added Roads, bridges, docks, ocean tiles, camp tiles and graveyard tiles.
Edit 1.1a: Fixed a missing rock in the supertall mountains.

Hi there! Thank you for your work that I think I will soon find a use. Can you tell me what would be the size of those hex tiles regarding your words ? 1, 2, 5, more km each?
I plan to create the map of a world using those and I would like to adjust the scale of this before starting my work. The size of the map I would like to produce is 210 km * 315 km.
Thank you in advance for your advice!
