A new map of the Teiner Tal


The old paper map is long gone, it had gone foisty in a old damp cupboard and it was wrongly oriented anyway. I thought it was high time I made a new one, so I went on Inkarnate link and had a go.

Readers may recall that my little armies inhabit a Teutonic 18th century version of the Tyne valley in northern England with more than a bit of wargamers licence.


Altstein stands in the bleak hill country and is now (1770) ruled by Ludwigs heir Graf Karl August von Altstein.

At the other softer end of the Teiner valley lies Eisenburg ruled by Prince Johan

After both armies did their duty and served with some vigour in the vast conflict known as the Seven Years War their lands, titles and peace were restored.
But as we small scale military men know peace never lasts long...

  1. Lovely map! How difficult was the software to learn/use?

  2. Hi Stokes, it isn't too hard once you get the hang of it., the site is really for fantasy maps and pushes you into upgrading.
    But I just use the free stuff and import it as a jpg., they let you save up to ten maps on their site.
    Have yourself a look it costs you nowt!.

    Take care,
    Paul.

    1. You could use the Inkarnate site to make maps for your impending hobbits and goblins. It is easy to spend hours and hours building up the maps and like I say it costs nothing.

    5. Yes, I'm disappointed that I couldn't get to use this brilliant program. Oh-well, I guess it is back to the color pencils and ruler for me for a Hobbit MAP. Regards. KEV.

    8. Good news KEV, it can be a real time sink. I can spend hours and hours fannying about with it.
