The commoners have been talking a lot lately about their rulers being possessed by war fever. Perhaps they are right - the great nations of this world are at war on an unprecedented scale. Indeed, in just a few months, all the old enmities have erupted, all the buried tomahawks have been pulled out.
War Fever is a quest- and puzzle-rich map with its own storyline, designed specifically for pairs gameplay. Fly and Dimension Door are disabled, and Town Portal is extremely limited.
This is a beta, I'm counting on your feedback to update soon. Please leave your comments here!
Enjoy the game!

Author: Marek (Poland), 04-08-2024 12:52 Like Good but too easy - War Fever In general its a great map and really well designed, I appreciate your work a lot!
... but its way too easy. On 5th month I managed to get to first tent and then quickly beat one opponent (I played forge), I had already one of the strongest armies at that point, and I wasnt even speedrunning, just playing casually. AI opponents are way too weak, they get some bonus at the beginning but cannot catch up with human player and final battles with them are little dissapointing. Some of my enemies also got lost on the map (their main hero didnt have town portal) and I didnt even have to fight them.
Another issue is that getting full access to tents before 8th month is too difficult for AI so in the end you dont need to worry at all about securing your castles cause there is zero chance AI gets an access to your tent by doing quests with collecting dragons, and before tents are unlocked on 8th month, you should already be able to finish this map or beat most of the enemies.
My suggestions are to decrease the time when tents are unlocked from 8th month to 6 or even 5 because even when AI gets an access earlier than now, they are usually too dump to pour into your zone and conquer your castles.
And they definiately need some bonus armies + resources, so at least final battles would be more challenging.
These few adjustments I think would make this map much more dynamic and fun.

Opinion - War Fever
Hi there,
this map is done. It's hard. Opponents are stupid like an ally. I have done everything myself, my ally me send some gold and resources, thats all.
Maybe I missed it but think that there were not enough explanations or information plates. Need to go to chat to get it...
Thanks btw. 12 months of adventures

Author: RXD, 12-07-2024 23:12 Bland - War Fever If I personally had to describe the map in one word, it would be BLAND.
Capture your 4 castles, get the resources on these islands that are closed with teleporters in a loop (you know where to go next/where the portals will probably lead), find in some half-zones a few other heroes/enemies, and then in 5 months, if you are lucky, you arrive where the other tents are. But no, you have to wait another 3 months or go boring scavenger hunting for the 4 special dragon troops so you can visit your opponents. Not hard gates to pass, but just not fullfilling in any way. Rather exhausting.
It's nice that after 2 months your co-op partner uncovers half the map, so you have to see what every other punk is doing at the end of the world. I love it when most of my opponents use the same portal 10 times in their turns. I have time and patience watching degenerate AI for hours. It makes the game fun.
Every now and then events tell you that this location is important. And this one. And this one too. Just don't forget this place. And the other area too! Go there, go there, go there. Just do everything! How does the player know what to prioritize? Does it even matter for most places?
You can only find certain spells in their "elemental" according places, but not everything is equal here, in a game thats anyway unbalanced. Ah yes, I need to invade Inferno first, because i want to use blind spell ASAP because i don't want to take like 12+ months for this map.
I can not loose this map, because i can just evade my opponents, dig up the beaches (heavens forbid) and win much faster before anyone serious gets to my realm.
No area is any kind of surprise really, the quests are very one dimensional (fetch me this, get me that, give me troops, here is some gold etc), the scenery is boring (wow a valley with mines/with a town/some stats+ objects).
Why make a giant map, when a good chunk of it is just unused? So that I have to ride more days?
Do not rely more than absolutely necessary on the AI to go the route you intended for them as a mapmaker. They loose focus very fast and begin chasing BS objectives if allowed (picking up 600 gold piece stacks etc)
In summary, what is good:
The world you set and the story are decent.
Most other stuff:
It's just not dynamic in any experienceable way. Where is the adventure?
Just BLAND in my opinion. I do not feel any kind of achievement by playing or winning this.
Thank you for uploading. Good luck.

seems like 12-06 there is a new ver but I've just finished the prev one - War Fever
0) much better!
1)
2 endless quests make a computer and players to lose artifacts (see pic).
2) "unified" (same skills) Universities = BORING!
3) AI boosted very well but still fails to get TP scroll = give TP somehow directly (i.e. time-based quests or smth)
4) Restricted/banned artifacts (in 1 piece each) mostly do not survive the end-game being lost in computer-computer battles (as starting 1.7.0 defeated heroes are not avail for re-hire)
5a) boost Factory further - still the weakest.
5b) Castle/Purple fails to unlock Towns with Angenls only.
5c) Hell Grail makes it boring week after week with the same stuff
5d) more gold to computer players to buy everything available to purchase.
6) the end game Necro (is still overpowered with 100+% Cloak)

maps not working - War Fever
Hi there,
I am having problems playing the new maps.
As I always did, I download them and put them in the "maps" folder in the game folder.
Then, when I start the game, the new downloaded maps show up with no name and if I try to start them the game crashes!
Can anyone help me to solve this problem? this is really annoying! :-(

AI is weak and makes no wonders - War Fever
1. AI same way as previously fails to unlock all 3+1 towns (not mentioning + bonus town, where the quest will be a real blocker for an AI). Castle and Factory are the steadily the weakest. Dungeon/Rampart and Tower = depends on a piece of luck. The last game I played Dungeon/Rampart sucked. Previously they were reasonably strong.
2. AI fails to unlock imprisoned heroe
3. Actually no quests are likely needed to win the game - Just flag Dragon dwellings ASAP and open tents.
4. Disabled buildings in towns (Rampart/Dungeon/Necro/Hell) diminish any differences between fractions making it boring to select some fractions. Dungeon/Necro/Tower seems to be the strongest based on allowed buildings.
5. I personally find the magic guild "system" interesting in terms of how it could correspond to real-life scenarios when a specific nation could have one and the same magic knowledge practices country-wide, but as for the game - AI sucks as it penalties comp heroes extremely heavily - AI is neither strong enough to capture other nations towns and learn smth new nor clever enough to hire a hero with the Scholar skill to start collecting spells.
6. once a human has a bunch of towns these reinforcement events get to be boring as a person should press Enter/Click OK.

Author: Olexandr (Germany), 04-06-2024 13:05 good but unbalanced and comps stuck to develop themselves - War Fever Somewhat unbalanced.
~1K 1lvl creatures quest gives unfair bonuses.
~only red, blue, and green are protected from an attack (main 3 towns).
other fractions are vulnerable to attack as there are breaches in terrain.
Necro is overpowered. it ends with smth about 110% Necro skill and ~1M of skeletons which is unbeatable.
Comp does not unlock starting neither guest heroes nor town portal scroll, and some fractions fail to unlock all 4 towns.
The author has to redesign 'unlock' mechanics for comp players.

question - War Fever
Regarding your second point, I dont think i get it. All players are in the same situation: one town protected by sea quest gate, one town protected by sea and land key gates, one town protected by two land key gates and one protected by one land key gate but vulnerable from the sea.

At glance - U wish so, but there are bugs - War Fever
it is the latest map ver from yesterday.
i.e. Orage/Dungeon - see pic ...
Factory = same.
If you haven't changed the terrain itself ... - Cove = is the same and Necro is vulnerable via terrain from the upper world as well.
Castle/Tower/Rampart and Hell have no holes in defense at a glance / but not sure...
