AOE IV / Maps
Snake River
A river winds around opposing teams, providing fishing, defensive cover and access to resources.
Overview
A river winds around opposing teams, providing fishing, defensive cover and access to resources.
Terrain and layout
A winding river curls around opposing teams, creating a protective barrier and several opportunities to cross. The map description identifies the water as both a defensive feature and a route to other resources.
Resources and control
River fish provide an additional food source. Three Sacred Sites and four Gold Mines are documented; further resource placement is not specified in the available map entry.
Player considerations
Scout the river bends and crossings before choosing a defensive line. Fishing can support the economy, while control of a crossing opens access to the far bank and resources; protect the workers and boats on the water.
