On all PES’s presented here, energy is normalized in such a way that its macroscopic part is set to zero at the spherical shape.

Some idea about the positions of ground states, secondary minima and saddles may be gained from PES’s. Chosen examples are shown in figures for: $^{252}$Lr - Fig. \[figb103\_149\], $^{270}$Db - Fig. \[figb105\_165\], $^{276}$Mt - Fig. \[figb109\_167\], $^{280}$Cn - Fig. \[figb112\_168\], and $^{297}$119 - Fig. \[figb119\_178\]. Overall evolution of ground states with increasing $Z$ from prolate to spherical can be seen there. In some nuclei one can see multiple saddles of which the one defining the fission barrier should be properly chosen. Sometimes the saddles between competing minima can be important, therefore the determination of all saddles on the map is necessarily needed. The energy landscapes Fig. 1-5 were obtained by minimizing energy on the 5D grid (\[maingrid\]) with respect to $\beta_{40}$, $\beta_{60}$ and $\beta_{80}$. One should be aware of two related circumstances: 1) As the grid Eq. (\[maingrid\]) does not include nonaxial deformations $\lambda\geq 4$, the axial deformations $\lambda= 4, 6, 8$ [*with respect to the $x$-axis*]{} cannot be reproduced, so the landscapes are inexact around the oblate $\gamma=60^o$ axis. 2) A
