Augur: Hexlands

Generate maps across 10 different biome styles, from Frozen tundras and Boreal forests to Jungles, Deserts, Volcanic regions, and corrupted Tainted lands. Each biome has its own terrain logic and visual identity, so the same map settings can produce very different kinds of worlds.

Generate very different kinds of regions depending on the campaign you want to run. Hexlands supports mainland maps, mountain ranges, basins, islands, archipelagos, and a crescent island style.

Add coastlines to one or more sides of land maps, or build full island-style layouts. Generate maps in rectangular, hexagonal, circular, square, or icosahedral-style shapes, with flexible size controls for anything from small regions to large overland areas.

You have two ways to work with the generator:

- New Seed: Press Randomize to create a completely different world.

- Apply Changes: Adjust Water Level, Mountain Density, Vegetation Density, biome, and other settings while keeping the same underlying geography. This makes it easy to iterate toward the exact map you want.

Hexlands can generate rivers automatically as part of the map creation process. Rivers usually begin in mountain areas and flow toward lakes, coastlines, or other water features. You can use them to create more believable travel routes, borders, and regional landmarks.

Need to tweak a generated map or build one from scratch? The Editor lets you paint individual hexes directly onto the canvas. Select a biome and a tile variant, then drag to paint. The tool automatically cycles through tile variations to keep the map looking natural and hand-crafted. Rivers are not locked in after generation. Extend them, reshape them, or delete sections directly in the editor, so you can combine procedural generation with manual control.

Hexlands ships with a hex tile set by David Baumgart, featuring hex tiles with 3-4 visual variations per terrain type.
