Four Rivers — AB

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

Four Rivers is an extra large underground map for four players, set across a 144 by 144 grid, with 16 towns and a terrain made mostly of rock, along with water, sand, and lava. The author describes an older time when four countries shared five islands divided by rivers, and when two of those countries joined forces to attack the other two. Up to four human players can take part, with two teams in play, and each player's faction is random. Victory comes from defeating all enemies, and a player loses by losing all towns and heroes. The map holds two starting heroes, many wandering monster stacks including Silver Pegasus and Minotaur King groups, and artifacts such as the Shackles of War and the Endless Sack of Gold. It also has 95 mines, 20 creature banks, and 8 monoliths or portals.
