Hexlands 1.4.0 is here: roads, routes, and connected hexmaps (Patreon)

Hey everyone, Hexlands 1.4.0 is now available. The main addition in this update is roads.

You can now generate a region, open the Hexmap Editor, switch to the Roads tab, and draw connected roads directly onto the map. They work a lot like the river tool: click and drag across neighboring hexes, and the road tiles connect automatically as you draw.

What Is New In 1.4.0

Added a new Roads tab to the Hexmap Editor.

Roads are drawn directly on the canvas by clicking and dragging.

Roads auto-connect as you move between neighboring hexes.

Shift-click or Shift-drag removes roads and updates connected neighbors.

Roads render above terrain, coasts, and rivers.

Added compatibility work so Hexlands editor tools can draw through Augur: Nexus site markers without accidentally opening site previews.

In practical terms, you can now generate a map, drop a few important locations onto it, and draw the routes that explain how those places relate to each other.
