TITLE: Northern River Reversal
RELEASE DATE: Q3/2024

DESCRIPTION: Medieval vanilla map made in around 10 days. In general it's a sequence of isolated rooms united by the canal flowing throught the whole structure. There were no planning ahead, it was made improvisationally, so map is rather linear. Nevertheless there're some optional areas, and I'm pretty happy with 'em. Encounters are rather tough, but it depends on stategy you choose; there's always a strategy that allows to kill off mobs really easily & safely.

Worth mentioning that WPOLY in general is around 600-800, but there's one space where it rises to 1200 approximately - that area could be optimized to 800 too if I had more time.

As for the title I just googled canals in Russia and randomly picked up Northern River Reversal just because it sounded cool. Nevertheless the story behind Siberian River Reversal project is quite interesting. At some point Soviet Union government decided that it would be wise to divert the flow of the some Northern rivers, so they won't flow into Arctic Ocean, but towards the Central Asia, which lack water. Well, it didn't happen, but sounds grandiose, if not dangerous eco systems wise.

THANKS to Sock & Sprony for holding the jam!
