Your goal is toĀ expand your empireĀ to as many harder and harder procedural islands as possible toĀ maximize your empireās population!
You have to efficiently use the availableĀ resources,Ā tools and perks,Ā adapt to the environment, completeĀ procedural quests... otherwise you canāt establish a strong enough colony toĀ set sail for the next one!
Set sail, and choose wisely! Which island's perk and biome fits your playstyle and strategy the best?Ā How far will your empire reach?
Your first building is always a town hall, which claims some tiles around it.
If you reach a specific population with a town (i.e. by building houses), its territory grows, claiming even more land!
If your island is populated enough, you can leave for the next one!
But why waste those valuable resources? Build as much as you can so your empire prosper!
Though every island is a clean slate, you wonāt start them empty-handed!
Every island rewards you with a perk, helping you till the very end! So choose your next island wisely, build synergy!
Collect various tools, special cards and save them for later! Maybe planting a forest or discovering a mine is whatās going to save your colony!
Build structures like trading ports, which benefit your future islands as well!
A balanced toolkit is the key: a harmony of perks, tool cards filling the gaps and buildings on previous islands supporting your future endeavours!
Once you canāt expand any further, you meet with your empireās population, your final score.
Can your colonies reach the top of theĀ leaderboards? ;)
If you want more challenge, try theĀ time limit mode! (looking at you, speedrunners!)
If you want to chill, try theĀ sandbox mode!

Please keep in mind that Iām just a solo but passionate developer. This is not a AAA experience with hours and hours of content. I love Civilization, but HexLands is not really close to the 4X genre. What Iām creating is a simple at first sight but hard to master game. And you donāt even have to get a second mortgage to afford it!
Please don't hesitate to contact me if you have feedback, questions, or problems with the game. Iāll try my best! Oh, and let me know if you enjoyed the game, because that just makes my day! :)
HexLands is inspired by such great games like:
Islanders
Dorf Romantik
Sid Meierās Civilization
and many more! (like I was listening to an endless Age of Empires soundtrack during the first month of development)
