6 Mile Hex Map - Baltic Region - Worldographer v0.4 (WIP)


I'm making this map for pre-Modern scenarios, roughly from 500 to 1500 AD using Worldographer.

In this latest version I've added some more biomes and types of vegetation such as grassy plains, wooded swamps, hills, denser woods and forests.

I'm having to do a lot of guess work about the placement of these types of features. As you can see I'm trying to simulate the Northern European Plain and the swamps of the Baltic countries. I don't know if the South East of the map should feature some Steppe features?

As always, let me know if you have any suggestions or resources for the placement of forests, swamps, grasslands and other terrain features.

The map is based on the one found in the article below (scroll down) and covers the area from Stockholm in the North-West to Novgorod in the North-East and down to Minsk and Smolensk in the East.

Inherently evil species? My solution

It used to be the case that everyone knew that orcs were bad and that you should have no problem dispatching them in your game. Unfortunately over the years orcs have been given more and more human qualities to the point where some people now feel uncomfortable treating them as inherently evil.  An easy way to side-step that is by having the adversaries be various kind of undead. I like to use undead beast-men as the go-to bad guys. I just imagine necromancers casting dark sorcery on flocks of dead goats and sheep, turning them into an army of undead. They are already dead, they have no culture, no feelings and no free-will. You're doing them and the world a favour by destroying them.
