Hex Medieval-Fantasy Locations
A downloadable asset pack
This is a set of lovingly hand-painted 2D medieval/fantasy hex location tiles suitable for a videogame overworld, a strategy game, boardgame-like visuals, or for your next RPG campaign!
- expands upon my basic terrain assets for those interested in making medieval-fantasy themed games
- 125 hex tiles (over 63 unique location types, some on different terrain types, some with multiple variations)
- painted at 256x384 pixels so that towers, mountains, and trees can overlap the tiles behind
- includes 143 road tiles for all possible permutations of hex grid roads (some of single variation, some of two)
- includes 235 "decor" sprites which can be placed on any background terrain texture (these include versions of the hex locations with the underlying terrain removed)
Location types included
- farmland (with burned versions); also includes silo, barn versions
- villages; includes wood, thatched-roof, and burnt-down versions
- many castle & stronghold variations, some ruined; built of stone or wood
- pyramids, oasis, sphinx, lost city
- marketplace, cookhouse, warehouse
- church, scriptorium, graveyard
- windmill, granary
- smithy, inn, alchemist
- forester's cabin
- walled city
- mines, caves, gated dwarven mine
- stonehenge, temple, ruined temple
- halfling village
- necromancer's tower
- lava-filled cave
- elven lodge
All assets are included as individual transparent-background png files. The base hex size is 256x256 plus vertical overlap. Decor sprites are of arbitrary size, but generally smaller than the hexes. Road sprites include a directional byte code in their names (you'll understand when you see them).

Cool assets! Have you considered adding more, like additional colors of the castles? And also making a destroyed/burned version of them?
It would be really cool to also have a not ruins version of the greek temple.
Er, is it not in there?
There should be a decor sprite called temple.png, then hex tiles called hexDirtTemple00.png and hexPlainsTemple00.png.
Yea, but it is a different temple, not the one in ruined version. I like both, but I would have liked to have a not ruined version of the ruined one.
Dang, you're quite right. Just now I tried to draw a complete version of that temple, but I'm not happy about how it turned out. It's on my list and I'll give it another shot - I'll respond once I have a good version ready.
Great!
Very beautiful style! I would love to see even more buildings and structures drawn by you.
Looks great! Could you add more buildings that can be constructed on the sand tiles, ice tiles, and ocean tiles?
I keep reading cookhouse as "corkhouse".
Could we get some rivers? I'd gladly pay $20 for rivers!
Well, I have some good news for you! Check this out: https://dgbaumgart.itch.io/hex-rivers-costs-and-seas :)
I'm an idiot! Hooray! Thanks much.
great work! need houses hex for cold land plz!!
Yeah, this is only thin missing along with desert houses, cities, fortresses. But I believe in author that he will add this soon :)
Hello friend, what are the chances i could get these in bigger sizes such as 576x576 or 768x768? Thank you kindly
Hi! I distribute the assets at the resolution I created them, so what you've got is what I've got. Your best bet would be to use an algorithmic upscaler of some kind, the results actually come out pretty well. Hope that helps.
