The big river flows — SoD
Overview
Written from the facts in this map's file
The Big River Flows is a hard Shadow of Death map on a medium 72 by 72 grid, with an underground level included. It supports two players, but only one can be human, and the Blue side is computer-controlled. Red plays Castle against Blue's Stronghold, and there are no teams. Victory requires defeating every enemy, while losing a specific hero ends the game. The story follows a small coastal princedom troubled by barbarian raids, with its people placing their hopes in Prince Ivleslav. Rock covers nearly half the terrain, and grass, water, and dirt fill much of the rest. Five towns, a roaming Minotaur King, and dwellings housing Dendroid Guards, Green Dragons, Gorgons, and Trolls shape the play, along with artifacts such as the Golden Bow and Shackles of War.
