This version is a remake of Battlejuice 2 Delirium furens. There’s a lot less quests and it’s a little easier.
Map contains non-standard quests. When you defeat a tripwire character, a chain of events is triggered, Clone, Berserk, DD, Fly are only available in the underworld. Eagle Eye and Scholar are blocked, Play only at the IMPOSSIBLE level.
Three great lords long ago living under the yoke of the necromancer. Charter to pay tribute the lords decide to unite and attack the necromancer.
After a while you get a signal from them - "Mayday! Mayday! Mayday!" And the silence...
Now you’re sending a signal - "Mayday! Mayday! Mayday!" And the silence...
And only the bones of the immortal army creak...
All AI players have a very serious boost. Map contains non-standard quests. When you defeat a tripwire character, a chain of events is triggered, Clone, Berserk, DD, Fly are only available in the underworld. Eagle Eye and Scholar are blocked,

Try to escape from here through the water. The second group of behemoth will be friendly towards you.
The first three hippos could have been defeated by the AI if you had chosen a different color to start. There are heroes hidden in prisons for AI.

The latest version of the map has some minor changes. In the previous version (V4) in the dungeon the sea passage to the dead man's boots, which were intended for the teal player, was blocked with stones - fixed. In test walkthroughs of the map, liches and skeletons obtained through necromancy were not used in the final boss battles (even as an exchange). So, completing the map as a blue player without a COUK was more challenging in the previous version.
Also fixed several quest tasks that were intended for "another Gelu". AI behavior for opening heroes from prisons has been adjusted
I will send you version V4 via email.
Thank you very much for your interest in the map!!!

Thanks u. Today I play again and trying to get CoTK from Blue territory. But as u said lichs were not use in final battle, I don't understand.that's a bug or just because we can't have CoTK.

COUK is not required for any tasks. In my opinion, it's even more interesting to play without it.
The AI has huge armies on the map. With the COUK, you could quickly farm several million liches. Trading liches for titans, for example, and the final bosses would not pose any danger. So the COUK can rather even ruin the game.

You will go to the red teleport area after the Untouchable, on the opposite side.

Author: 32167, 23-07-2024 16:30 answer - Battlejuice 2.5 Mayday Hello,
Clone spell can be obtained in two ways, but only in the dungeon. To do this you need to either defeat Grim Reper or collect 50k peasants. On the territory of the "eye" there is a quest where you can exchange thieves for peasants in a 1:1 ratio. Near this quest, a hero with the scholar skill is sitting in prison.
“Gelu” that is needed for the scenario is in prison, in the very center of the map near the entrance to the dungeon. For each of the three colors in this zone there is its own “Gelu”.
Which magic to choose most likely depends on your game strategy. For myself, I chose resurrection first, then FF, and blind last. Hypnotize is not blocked on the map, it can be more useful than blind. A hypnotized creature can close a breach in a wall during a castle siege, or replace the FF.
Author: Lê cong, 23-07-2024 15:13 Like Battle juice - Battlejuice 2.5 Mayday I have a few questions:
- where's clone quest?
- how can I get Gelu because I see he's a pink hero?
- I play teal and i should get Resurrection,blind or forced field first?
Author: 32167, 16-07-2024 16:50 guide - Battlejuice 2.5 Mayday Dear players,
While creating this map, I tried to avoid the main problem of giant maps - the moment when at the initial stage of the game you become a factual winner and the remaining 80% of the time you just finish off weak AI opponents.
A large number of sequential chains of events, which are launched by the player himself in the process of moving along the map, were integrated into the map. If you simultaneously launch several events at once without gaining sufficient strength, a double or triple storm of very strong AI heroes will fall on you, which is truly impossible to resist.
Therefore, I decided to make a small guide with tips to make playing on the map fun and not annoying. If you want to go through the map without hints, please do not read this comment further.
Key points: any creatures from the cities of this map can be exchanged for any other creatures and vise versa; most artifacts can be sold at a high price or traded for the shackles of war and then for thieves, who in turn can be traded for any other creatures/primary skills, etc.
1. At the very beginning of the game you will have a two-week head start over the other two players (who are available for selection at the start).
- at this moment I recommend breaking through to the sea as quickly as possible and capturing as many beacons and resources as possible;
- in the second stage, free two heroes from prisons near the starting town. From them you will receive both an army and an important artifact;
- then go to the second town within walking distance from the starting town, in its vicinity there is the black tent you need, and in the city itself there is useful magic;
- the Hut of the Magi will show you all the key points and the castle where you will receive TP (after having visited the black tent);
- at the same time, you will need to accumulate peasants to access magic spells (res, blind, FF). A lot of peasants are hidden in the sea, in Pandora's boxes;
- the strength of the two starting AI players will grow faster than yours. As soon as they gain access to the second castle (within walking distance from the starting one), the AI army will begin to increase in number geometrically;
- DO NOT attack the Untouchable until you have taken the starting castles of two neighbors (ideally, it is better to first take control of all 12 cities from the available territory)
- if, however, at some point you get bored, attack the Untouchable and it will immediately become fun.
2. Untouchable. After his defeat, a massive invasion will begin; to slow it down, you will need to constantly keep the lighthouses under control (it is better to do this at the previous stage)
- get to the center of the map as quickly as possible to exchange creatures for several of the most powerful units;
- here the decisive role will be played by resources and the unification of the armies of the three factions into one;
- under no circumstances give all the castles to the enemy, get them back and slow down the invaders at sea;
- DO NOT GO into the underground under any circumstances until the invaders stop coming and you get your castles.
3. Underground. Once you get there, the map will split into two separate ones.
- after capturing the Necropolis, the pink player will die and a passage will open to the northwestern part of the map (Water World);
- all cities of the water world can be captured in two ways, by force or by quest. The quest consists of one hero walking on water and the hero standing on the ship so that the first hero changes the trajectory of movement and bypasses all ambush traps. Walking starting point - water puddles on evil fog.
- beyond the territory of the water world, at the very edge of the map, there is a passage to the blue necromancer. The way to it is through the prison in which the hero with the necromancy skill sits. This guy will help you a lot in the future.
- the bad news is that after the death of the pink player, a necromancer invasion will begin on the surface. It will be even more dangerous than the Untouchable event.
- more bad news - initially only Gelu (the Artificer) will be able to move in the dungeon;
- even more bad news - killing the orange and green heroes in the dungeon will trigger the rapid chain of their development. Now you have to be very fast.
- meanwhile, the final bosses are accumulating strength and when you get to them, they will have several units of 150-300 thousand level 7 monsters in their army
- during the game, ambushes of 7x9999 azure dragons on a cursed land will not seem to you such impossible events.
Well, good luck to you and go ahead! If you have any questions, do not hesitate to ask.

In the first screenshot, the trajectory of the hero in the boots of levitation is not changed and he falls into a fire trap. In the second case, the boatman changes his trajectory and the hero in boots manages to bypass the fire trap.
In this case, the boatman had to land on the ground, in other cases he changes the trajectory of the hero in the boots of levitation while in the boat.
The screenshot shows the starting point for completing the entire quest in the Water World. Only at these points in the Water World it is possible to land. This quest is optional; the entire territory of the Water World can be captured by force.

The final passages to the necromancers' territory are located at the extreme upper points of the map.

Also..after going through yellow portal and going into underground, there are 2 places you can dock your ship. One leads to a black border guard. All good. THe other leads to a quest guard. Not good. THat guard has no quest. I even checked it in map editor. It's just blank. So unpassable.
THis map was fun but I think I am going to give up on it. I am not stuck in the underground. I can't figure out how to get back up top and do more things up there. I may have been forced underground to fast and wasn't able to fully check out up top enough. But I can't get out of the underground. I can't get past the border guard that wants the plate of dying light in order to get back to the yellow portal. So I am just stuck. All my castles up top were taken and my 1 hero the has TP can't TP up there and I can't get Gelu up there. So I think I'm done. Thanks for the map though.

Hi! Thank you so much for your comment!!!
I see the bugs you write about. I will also make the castle on the surface inaccessible to the AI and add several quests to increase the player’s army, so that the hero on the surface has more chances in battles with the AI.
I planned to make a simpler version compared to Delirium Furens, but it turned out to be much more complicated, and even with impassable parts of the map...
It will take me a couple of days to get it exactly in order.
Thank you so much for your help!!! I apologize for the mistakes!
Author: Loko (Wrocław Poland), 01-07-2024 14:24 Problem - Battlejuice 2.5 Mayday I have started playing this map in a two player alliance version. I have one hero who, after a few hexes of movement, is blocked by level 7 units that he has no chance of winning against. So the hero is blocked after one day of play. There is no tavern in the castle. As the level is impossible there are also no resources. So it is impossible to buy a hero in a castle to conquer the wood and ore mines. The game is impossible to start. It is impossible to play sińce first day of a game. I am very curious to know how you started the game. I have the latest version, downloaded it last week.

Did you find the sea captain's hat? If so, then try to find disguised water.
As soon as you reach your town, try to go out to sea as quickly as possible for resources, take control of as many lighthouses as possible.
Also, as soon as possible, free the heroes from the prisons near the starting town.

I really don't understand where this hero got the fly. Only one Angel wings can be found on the map and they are absolutely inaccessible to AI.
Fly is banned on the map and is not preinstalled on any of the heroes. It is also impossible to give such an army in the standard editor to a hero sitting in prison.
I will update the map only when I resolve the issue with all the bugs.

Hello,
Unfortunately, I was not able to get autosave to figure out what kind of bug it was. WW is absolutely not available for anyone on this map. In that version, levitation boots were still available for the AI. Could boots cause this bug?
What confused me even more about this bug was the incredible number of sea dogs... The map was made in a standard editor, and I don’t understand where such numbers could come from for an AI that is not fixated on events.

Вам нужно разобраться с игроком Untouchable, после откроется проход к красным порталам, через которые Вы попадете в центр карты. Из центра Вы попадете в подземелье (не используйте желтый портал - это очень сильно усложнит прохождение подземелья. В последней версии он убран). После того как Вы разберетесь с Untouchable будьте готовы к волне вторжения мощнейших врагов.

In the dungeon only Gelu can move freely. Green and Orange are incredibly powerfull, you kill one, the next one emerges twice as strong. Their final few heroes will appear with 6666 fairy dragons/juggernauts etc (here the army randomizer is used).
It'd be better to deal with overground heroes first. There're too many peasants hidden in pandora's boxes. It’ll speed up the process of getting magic.
