Voting for Worldographer/Hexographer 2 Culture Icon Additions Begins

If you’ve been on the fence about supporting the Worldographer/Hexographer 2 Kickstarter, now is a great time to get in because you’ll be able to vote on our upcoming stretch goals!

Also note that the two new icon packs we’re making as part of this Kickstarter (expanded alternate classic and isometric) were originally promised to have 100+ icons each.  Soon (if/when we make it to $30,000) we’ll be doing at least 140 of each. And that will almost surely grow in the last week and a half of the campaign.

Before we get to the new possible stretch goal icons, we should note that we’re getting closer to the last of our previously announced stretch goals (thank you!) so we’ve posted the next few:

  • $31,500: Political Hex Widget/Tool. Easily add hexes to one nation/empire or another with this tool. It will automate changing the border line or translucent overlay that represents a nation/empire.
  • $32,500: 15 Extra mostly Greek “Isometric” icons added to the Isometric icons set.
  • $34,000: Auto-populate a map with nations/empires, cities, towns, and villages. This will be an option, of course you can not use it or adjust everything afterward. It will place an initial city for each nation based on a good mix of resources and attempt to expand the nation with more cities, towns, villages and more.
  • $35,000: 10 Extra mostly Greek “Alternate Classic” icons added to the Expanded Alternate Classic icons set.

With that out of the way, Keith Curtis has finished our sample expanded alternate classic icons:

As a refresher, here are the isometric versions of each (posted a couple of updates ago):

Those of you backing the project now or by noon US eastern time on Thursday Sept 8th may reply to project update #10 (only visible to backers) may vote for your top three choices by posting a comment to that update. We’ll use those votes to decide which cultures to develop into 10+ icon mini-sets to add (at no extra cost) to add to as further stretch goals.
