The First Hex Map Prototype Is Live

What’s implemented so far

🔍 Resource layers

The map already supports resource overlays, showing where key materials are located and how they’re distributed across the world.

This is important because in our design, the economy is not just a background number — it’s the fuel of everything you do:

 

• • military production

• • infrastructure growth

• • long-term expansion

• • nation-level strategy

Later, controlling the right resources won’t just make you “stronger”… it will directly shape what you’re even capable of building and sustaining.

🏙️ Player cities

Cities are now visible on the map as real strategic anchors — not just UI elements.

They’ll become:

 

• • your production centers

• • recruitment hubs

• • defensive points

• • logistical nodes for moving troops and resources

Even at this early stage, seeing where cities sit on the hex grid immediately makes the world feel more “alive” — and you can already imagine frontlines forming around them.

⚔️ Units and ongoing battles

We now have military units displayed directly on the map, together with ongoing engagements. This gives you instant battlefield awareness:

 

• • where forces are located

• • where fights are happening

• • where the pressure is building

• • how lines could shift next

This is the part where the game starts feeling like a real strategy sandbox. You don’t just read reports — you see the war.

Why this matters

This hex map is the base for everything that comes next. The goal isn’t to build a “pretty visual”, but a war planning tool that feels responsive and makes decision-making fun.

We’re focusing on:

 

• • clarity (you understand the situation at a glance)

• • speed (smooth interaction even with lots of entities)

• • depth (more layers and mechanics over time without UI chaos)

What’s next on the roadmap

This is only the first version, but we’re already moving into the features that will make the map truly tactical:

🕵️ Fog of war & reconnaissance

You won’t always see everything. разведка (scouting) and intel will matter — and information advantage will become a real weapon.

🌲⛰️ Terrain effects

Forests, hills, mountains, rivers… they should change how you move and fight. We want the terrain to create natural strategies, not just decoration.

🌧️❄️ Dynamic weather

Weather is one of those mechanics that can add a lot of atmosphere and tactical consequences:

 

• • slower movement

• • visibility changes

• • supply pressure

• • battle conditions

We’ll introduce it carefully so it adds depth without becoming annoying micromanagement.

We’re building this together

If you’re following this project early, your feedback really matters.
What would make the map more useful or satisfying for you?

 

• • Better overlays?

• • A cleaner battle view?

• • Logistics and supply routes?

• • Something else entirely?

Stay tuned. This is just the start of what we want to become a truly epic strategy experience. ⚔️🔥
