Dragon River — SoD

Dragon River is a large surface map measuring 108 by 108, played on Normal difficulty. Its premise sends a seasoned warrior down a river to confront the guardian of an ancient dragon elder. Five players share the map, with up to four controlled by humans and the Pink player left to the computer, and there are no team alliances. The starting factions are Dungeon, Stronghold, Castle, Necropolis, and Conflux. Grass covers most of the land, with water at about 14 percent and snow at about 6 percent. Scattered across the map are 33 mines, two creature banks, two monoliths or portals, and four timed events, along with wandering stacks such as a Red Dragon and a Phoenix. Victory requires acquiring one specific artifact, while a player is eliminated after losing every town and hero.
