As Schoon pointed out, inks would be a bit difficult to use.  I think
you're likely to get what appear to be "stain areas" on the cloth, not
shaded cloth.

I've painted felt with regular acrylic paint, and it works though it is
a
big pain in the neck (the material is absorbant...)

You could try getting the cloth paint Karl mentioned, though I've not
tried
it for terrain.  The colouring might be too thick/dense.

Alternatively, you could try doing some areas with a paint and flock
over
those areas once the paint is dry - like I did with those river
sections.
So, aim for a "blotchy" look.

You could try spraying a white-glue/water mix onto the entire surface,
and
sprinkling a desert flock all over it thinly - aiming for a result
similar
to one of KR's desert ground mats, though without that level of flock
density.
