Some Hero Details:
-------------------
This is not a full list of changes, see the above changelog for that. These
are just some of the changes in more detail.

++ Keeper of the Light

Illuminate:
=======
It now gives vision gradually as it grows in the area it is "illuminating"
rather than at the end.
Fixed Illuminate's interaction with Cliffs and units very close to it

Mana Leak:
========
In short, a mana rupture. The numbers are 0.035/0.04/0.045/0.050% of total
manapool drained per unit moved. So, if the target moves 700 units, at level
1 it loses 24.5% of total mana pool.. at level 4 it loses 35% of its total
mana pool. Duration of the buff is 5/6/7/8

If the target runs out of mana, the effect stops and the target is stunned
for 1.25/1.5/1.75/2 seconds.

Cast Range: 1200
Cooldown: 20 seconds
Manacost: 75

Chakra:
======
Increased cast range(500->900), lowered cooldown a bit(19->19/18/17/16
seconds), rescaled manacost (40/80/100/120->40/55/70/85), removed the damage
bonus and minor health regen.

Spirit Form:
=============
Morphs into a new unit, same stats/items as kotl. Gives him extra abilities.
He has ALL his abilities in this new form.

Manacost: 100
Cooldown: 80/70/60 seconds
Duration: 40 seconds

Blinding Light:
-Targets a 650 aoe. Causes units in the targetted area become blinded,
causing them to miss 80% of attacks for some time. Knocks back units 250
distance over 0.4 seconds.
-Cast Range: 600
-Mancost: 50 Manacost
-Cooldown: 20 seconds
-Duration: 3/4/5 seconds

Recall:
-Teleports an allied hero to you after 5/4/3 seconds. If the unit takes
player based damage in this period, the effect ends.
-Mancost: 100
-Cooldown: 40

Illuminate:
-Causes illuminate to self charge when cast in spirit form. You can
discharge it by clicking on a temporary replacement icon that appears in
your ability card.

++ Enchantress

Untouchable:
============
It now is a normal skill and scales 30/50/70/90% from 50/70/90%

Enchant:
=========
Creep control duration reduced from 120 to 80 seconds.

Impetus:
========
This is now the ultimate. Bonus Damage 15%/20%/25%, Manacost is 55/60/65 and
Cooldown is 0 seconds on all levels. As an ultimate it now pierces magic
immmunity

++ Bounty Hunter

Track:
======

The movement bonus is now given in an area around the tracked unit to all
allied units. The bonus bounty is given to bounty hunter as long as the
target dies while under the buff, the killer is not a factor. See tooltip
for more data. Costs 50 mana all levels.

++ Broodmother

Spinweb:
=========
Reduced vision
Cooldown from 90/75/60/45 to 90/70/50/30 seconds
Manacost from 140 to 50

Insatiable Hunger:
===================
Was 60/75/90 bonus damage with 40/60/80% lifesteal for 20 seconds
Now 60/80/100 bonus damage with 40/55/70% lifesteal for 12 seconds

++ Beast Master

Call Of The Wild:
==================
Greater Hawk:
No permanent invisibility. Has an active invisibility: duration 5 seconds 1
second fadetime, 30 cooldown
25 -> 200 hp
100 -> 40 bounty
280 -> 400 ms

Greater Quillbeast 700 -> 500 hp
Cooldown: 45/50/55/60 -> 40 seconds
Duration: 60/70/80/90 -> 60 seconds

Captains Mode:
--------------

Blue and Pink are the team captains. A random side starts the process(you
can customize this, see below)

Ban Time: 40
Pick Time: 60
Extra Time: 45

You start by alternating 1/1/1 in the ban phase. Each captain removes up to
4 heroes. Running out of time does not result in a random hero ban.

After that you enter the 1/2/2/ pick phase. Each captain picks the heroes
his team will use.

If at any time you run out of time, you start to use up your extra time. If
you run out and you are in pick phase, you get a random hero.

Creeps spawn 90 seconds after the pick draft phase is over. Right after the
hero pick phase ends, the 5 heroes for your team are presented with a
checkmark on them (RD style) allowing players on your team to pick which one
they want to be.

The captain that starts this process is random. If you want to give the
starting to Sentinel, type -cm 1 or -cm 2 for Scourge after the game mode is
entered.

The picks, bans, timers, etc are all presented in a board for easy viewing
by team mates and observers.

  • Towers protecting tree and throne has been changed

    and another ability (which will most likely be edited like hell)

  • Recall; the Ignis channels for 4 seconds, targeting an ally hero. After 4 seconds, the hero is teleported to the Ignis... that's right... free travel... the ignis shouldn't be damaged while doing this or else the channeling will be interrupted... and the hero can freely move while waiting to be teleported

  • Clockwerk was nerfed again stat wise, not sure.

  • Chakra magic was changed also, at lvl 4 85 mana cast, 16s cooldown, restores 300 mana, instant cast, no buffs added (hp regen, + dmg, like it was before)

  • Tangos got modified too (i don't know if it is a buff or a nerf)

  • Tango now 3 charges which heal 115 hp over 16 seconds.

  • BKB recipe now 1300, but now use mithril hammer instead of broadsword

  • New Hero!!!

  • Captain Coco, Admiral Proudmoore

  • The most noticable skill is using a ghostship to hit the enemies. The other skill self buff, so i'm not sure yet. His first skill when activated make you have splash damage, his third skill still i can't find it yet. His ultimate is mark the spot, i assume that when you got damaged, you instantly return to where you are marking the spot. Still not sure if this hero will be implemented

DotA 6.51 AIplus Map Revision 03 Free Download



The new DotA 6.51 AIplus Map Revision 03 had released.

After a long hiatus, I'm back.

Just uploaded a third revision, changelog is as follows:
-Fixed bug with Voodoo Restoration not costing mana to use
-Fixed speed and stun times on Paralyzing Casks to be the same as in 6.51 and on
-Fixed Silencer dropping his inventory (hopefully)
-Changed the way gold is distributed to Normal AI so that they get the proper amount
-Implemented a temporary fix for Luna using Eclipse (for AI, it behaves like Eclipse in 6.48b)
-Removed N'aix from showing up taverns in -ai and -aa modes
-Added Old Morphling (5.84b) to Fun Tavern
-Added Old Stealth Assassin (5.84b) to Fun Tavern
-Added Normal Gold AI mode -normgold or -ng
-Restored 6.51 pathmap, hopefully this will help with creep pathing issues

As mentioned in my last post like a month ago, the item purchasing system was all screwed up with the Assault Cuirass, and I've fixed it this time...maybe. It's so hard to tell since reports are so varied, but I haven't had problems with this since, so let's hope it works for real this time.

Added a normal gold mode (-normgold or -ng), since I think people really wanted to see that. Like the other modes, it should be typed in the beginning of the game with everything else (i.e. -apng).

Addressed the issues with Witch Doctor I think, as far as I can tell he seems to be working properly.

Normal AIs now get the proper amount of gold, they were getting the same as Insane AIs before...surprise surprise!

I've also restored the 6.51 pathmap using the original 6.51 map, hopefully this will change those pathing issues that people keep mentioning (I'm not really sure what changed exactly so I don't know what to look for).

As for the item purchasing stuff, I've checked, and it seems as though most of the item costs haven't really been changed...I know I only changed the ones that involved recipe reworks. As such, it is possible that some AIs are buying ulti orbs for 2300 and Buriza recipe for 1250 or what not, but I haven't changed it yet. Looking at 6.52, the way AIs purchase items will need to be completely reworked anyway, so I'll deal with it then. That said, now's probably the time to mention which builds need to be altered and which ones don't, so I can address that as it arises.

Note that 6.52's changes are pretty monstrous, so it'll probably be several weeks before I get something out. I should be checking the board more often from now on, so feel free to leave bug reports, feedback, item build suggestions/links to good guides with good item build suggestions, etc. That, or cookies, because cookies are nice too.

Enjoy!

DotA 6.51 AI AIPlus Map Updated Rev2 Free Download

Thanks BuffMePlz again.

He posted on DotA Allstars 6.51 AI+ 1.52

says,

This is a port of RGB's AI+ v1.52 (originally written for DotA Allstars 6.48b).

It behaves the same as the original AI, and has only been updated to account for new item recipes. As such, some new content does not work fully with the AI yet.

THERE IS NO AI FOR LIFESTEALER AND INVOKER. THEY WILL GET BASIC ITEMS AND WILL NEITHER USE NOR LEARN THEIR SKILLS.

Known bugs with AI:
-Sand King doesn't use Epicenter
-Luna doesn't level up Lucent Beam, so Eclipse is very weak
-Lanaya crashes the game

Some commands have yet to be implemented properly:
-ah
-afk
-kickafk

Additionally, I have added a Fun Tavern in the lower right corner for kicks. Currently includes four legacy heroes (possibly more in the future): Old Invoker, Old Lifestealer, Old Silencer, and Gambler.

To access the fun tavern, type -fun within the first 15 seconds of the game.

Changelog:
Rev. 02
=======
-Fixed bug with Crystal Maiden and Aghanim's Scepter
-Fixed bug with Invoker swap
-Fixed spell effect on Split Earth
-Gold is now properly distributed in -em mode
-Implemented -apm
-Implemented -swapall
-Updated -roll to show the range
-Updated -cs to show neutrals killed
-AI should now properly use Eul's
-AI should now properly get Lothar's

Thanks

DotA 6.51 AI Map AIPlus Free Download

Thanks BuffMePlz again.

He posted this on DotA Allstars 6.51 AI+ 1.52

He says,

After spending about 14 hours programming last night, I think the first revision for this port is finally done. As far as I know, all of the new hero/item content is in and works fine for both humans and AI (yes, AI Visage and Drow and PA get their new abilities and they work). New item recipes work as expected, and AI has been modified to get the proper items in order to build them (Eul's, Guinsoo's, Battle Fury).

Fun tavern is still in, though it looks different. Deal with it. Currently contains Old Invoker, Old Lifestealer, Old Silencer, and Gambler. Maybe adding more later, they actually don't increase map size as much as everybody thinks they do (except for Gambler, since he has his own special buttons that I needed to add).

Assists work, singledraft works, -clear and -courier work, new creep camps work, bottles work, Invoker works...things work. Most of them, anyway.

Things that DON'T work:
-ah (why would you be hacking on an AI map anyway?)
-apm
-afk
-kickafk
-swapall (will do this one later, I don't feel like it right now)

Some bugs that were addressed with Last Word going off on various spells have not been addressed yet as of this revision. I'll do it later.

New Impale code works fine, but I haven't addressed the issues with new Impale + Omnislash/Voodoo Restoration. Also to be done later.

Eclipse still ministuns. I'll address that later. It does properly level up with Lucent Beam now though.

I haven't disabled -unstuck, since I find it to be useful.

I've changed the hero selection code a bit so (in theory) the AI should never pick Lanaya, Nai'x, or Kael. You can, of course, force the AI to pick these heroes but they won't do anything and will probably be easy to kill. Except for Lanaya, who will probably kill your game. Note that this is only for modes in which the computer picks, so using -ar or -tr may still cause them to pick these heroes.

Post bug reports here. I probably won't be doing anything on this map for at least another two weeks after my programming splurge, so hopefully this should be good enough for a while. Unless somebody finds something COMPLETELY gamebreaking...in which case then I might do something about it sooner.

Will fix aforementioned bugs in Revision 2, along with whatever you guys report. Might add Old Morphling to Fun Tavern, or whoever else people might want to see. But not all the old heroes, that's ridiculous and will take more time than I have ever. =P

Enjoy.

DotA AI Maps - How to easily win 5 insane enemies?

Choices of heroes


There are some choices of heroes, which could easily win 5 insane enemies.

For example,

Sven
Naix
Shadowfield
Meepo
Destroyer

Skills


You need some basic (should have said, advanced) skills, such as farming, good timing for casting skills, etc.

Items


There are some good items, depends on your choice of hero and of course the enemies' heroes.

For example,

Boot of Travel (good to have for all hero)
Divine Rapier (for attacker, normally only attackers could 1 on 5 insanes)
Heart of Terrasque (for higher HP and HP regens)
Satanic (good vampire percentage)
Hood (for magic resistance, if enemies are mages)
Assault Cruise (for attacker as well)
Butterfly (evasion and attack speed)
Black King Bar (depends, if enemies are mages)
Crow (could make some differences)

If you have some good opinions, feel free to share around...

DotA 649 - Killed Owned Kael Invoker by 3 heroes

Yet, this is another movie about killing Kael the Invoker.

Different from the previous post - Ursa Solo, they used three heroes - Ursa, Prophet (Furion), Phantom Assasin to finish to job. It not very special but worth to have a watch.

Here is the movie.

DotA 6.49c AI Map AIPlus 1.52 Revision 7

6.49c AIPlus 1.52 Revision 7 is the current best AI map I can find. Description and changelog is quoted from BuffMePls's Post.

Great Job BuffMePls. Thanks a lot =)


Rev. 02: Fixed the texture on Templar Assassin's Psionic Traps, they should show up properly now.

Rev. 03: Fixed the infinite bottle bug.

Rev. 04: Fixed the dummy unit casting bug (hopefully), Siege Golems when using supercreeps, and picking from the Fun Tavern when -fun is not activated.

Rev. 05: Zeus's ult works, tree model restored, other tooltips corrected. AI Earthshaker now properly uses Fissure. Fixed bug with Bottled Runes. Added Old Silencer to Fun Tavern.

Rev. 06: Fixed Juxtapose and Doppelwalk.

Rev. 07:
-Power Treads now properly update on Meepo
-Fixed Dark Rift
-Changed the way AI dummy caster units work to prevent computer from controlling them and unnecessarily casting things they ought not to, which will hopefully fix the self-destructing AI problem.
-Added Gambler to the fun tavern.
-Reduced load and lag time on the map overall (I hope)




He says,

Yeah, so I spent the long weekend porting lazyfiend's latest AI to the most recent version of DotA. Hopefully this will allow many of you who have been wanting to play the newest version of the map with some very well programmed bots.

I've imported all of the 6.49c content to the best of my ability, and have updated the AI bots so that they properly get Power Treads (the Agility version, it makes it easier), Vladmir's Offering, and Monkey King Bar, since the latest version changed the way these items were built. Aside from that, the AI has been unchanged, so it's still prone to any bugs that may have existed in the 6.48b version.

The AI probably has no means of determining how to play the new N'aix, and I didn't try to make it do something with it. Fortunately RGB did add a way to force the computer players to repick if necessary, so be sure to utilise it if they pick N'aix. Additionally, the AI will not try to get Orchid's Malevolence or Shiva's Guard, so if you're trying to figure out how to counter builds with these items, you're out of luck unless you play online.

Aside from that, I've added a little something special for everyone, but I'll let you see that for yourself. It's the product of a long project that got me into playing around with JASS and these maps in the first place. Just type in "-fun" to access the Fun Tavern and see for yourself.

Remember, that's

-fun

This is still AI+ version 1.52 because I'm not presumptuous enough to claim that I've actually updated anything. I just wanted to share this with the community because I feel like it's something that everybody can use/want, and maybe to stop all the messaging to lazyfiend for a 6.49c AI+ map.

So have fun and enjoy. If I do make any updates it will just be to the Fun Tavern, or to bugs specific to this version.

Thanks to lazyfiend for his hard work on this AI.

Cheers.

DotA 6.50 - Bug on Kael the Invoker



There are some bugs if you swapped Invoker with other hero in the beginning of the game. Invoker would have 5 (or 6?) active skills at Level 1. The video shows the Invoker could use Chaos Meteor, Deafening Blast and Tornado.

By the way, IceFrog updated the version into 6.50b on the following day of releasing 6.50

Have a nice watch with the bug! =)

A lot of work has been done on developing a system for seamlessly translating DotA to other languages. Thanks to Danat for his help and support on it and to the new translators that have signed up. Once the initial language translation is complete, I will make a post to recruit people that wish to translate into other languages.

DotA Heroes Guides - Ursa Warrior

Ursa Warrior

Ursa Warrior

Before the invasion of the Scourge, a race of intelligent bears called furbolgs cultivated a quiet spiritual society deep in the heart of Azshara. With most of their kind murdered and corrupted by the Undead, the normally isolated furbolgs were forced to flee to the Sentinel for protection. In return, the furbolgs have sent their mightiest Ursa Warrior into battle on the Sentinel behalf. Enraged by the defilement of his people's sacred land, Ulfsaar is able to channel his fury into a series of extremely quick and brutal swipes, using his razor-sharp claws to overpower his foes and literally tear them apart.


Hero Abilities


Earthshock Earthshock

Slams the ground, dealing damage to and slowing the movement speed of nearby enemy land units.
Lasts 4 seconds.

Level 1 - 70 damage, 25% slow.
Level 2 - 120 damage, 35% slow.
Level 3 - 170 damage, 45% slow.
Level 4 - 220 damage, 55% slow.

Cooldown: 7 seconds.

Level 1: 75 mana, 7 sec cooldown.
Level 2: 75 mana, 7 sec cooldown.
Level 3: 75 mana, 7 sec cooldown.
Level 4: 75 mana, 7 sec cooldown.


Personally, I do not think this skill is useful in early game, unless you could not farm well, you can go for this skill. After max Fury Swipes and Overpower, you can start adding this skill. This skill could slow enemy down, very effective with Overpower, Fury Swipes and Enrage.


Overpower Overpower

Sends Ulfsaar into a rage until he can expend his energy on a target. Lasts 15 seconds or 5 attacks.

Level 1 - 100% increased attack speed.
Level 2 - 200% increased attack speed.
Level 3 - 300% increased attack speed.
Level 4 - 400% increased attack speed.

Cooldown: 10 seconds.

Level 1: 45 mana, 10 sec cooldown.
Level 2: 55 mana, 10 sec cooldown.
Level 3: 65 mana, 10 sec cooldown.
Level 4: 75 mana, 10 sec cooldown.


This is a useful skill, with Fury Swipes and Enrage, Ursa Warrior could make high damage output for killing heroes, as well as farming very fast in neutral creeps.


Fury Swipes Fury Swipes

Each attack opens the wound deeper in the target, causing subsequent attacks to deal increased damage.

Level 1 - 6 bonus damage per attack.
Level 2 - 12 bonus damage per attack.
Level 3 - 18 bonus damage per attack.
Level 4 - 24 bonus damage per attack.

Orb effect.

Passive


This is a useful skill as well. Every attack stacks 24 bonus damage, in other word, the more attacks Ursa Warrior made, the more damage it stacks. This is the main skill for solo-ing Kael the Invoker.
* Beware of the Orb effect. Does not stack with Battlefury as well.


Enrage Enrage

When activated, greatly increases Ulfsaar's damage based on his current life.

Level 1 - 4% of Ulfsaar's current life is dealt in damage.
Level 2 - 5% of Ulfsaar's current life is dealt in damage.
Level 3 - 6% of Ulfsaar's current life is dealt in damage.

Cooldown: 25 seconds.

Level 1: 0 mana, 25 sec cooldown.
Level 2: 0 mana, 25 sec cooldown.
Level 3: 0 mana, 25 sec cooldown.


Powerful skill. I will normally make two Heart of Tarasque with Ursa Warrior, and will have more than 4k HP. With Level 3 Enrage, the bonus damage will be more than 240 ( 4k x 6% ), it is like a free Divine Rapier. Besides killing heroes, Enrage is good for farming in neutral creeps, as it requires 0 mana. With Enrage and Overpower, we could solo first roshan at Level 7 with a Vanguard.

How to play this hero?


Skill Points

Level 1: Earthshock (Good for escaping, and farming for sometimes)
Level 2: Fury Swipes
Level 3: Fury Swipes
Level 4: Overpower
Level 5: Fury Swipes
Level 6: Enrage
Level 7: Fury Swipes (Can start farming in neutral creep with good killing speed)
Level 8-10: Overpower (Max)
Level 11: Enrage
Level 12~14: Earthshock
Level 15: Stat
Level 16: Enrage (Max)
Level 17~25: Stat

Guide

Starting I will suggest to get two or three Circlet and some Ancient Tangos. With Fury Swipes, it will not be very tough to farm. Try to get Vanguard at Level 6 or 7, after combined Vanguard, you could go solo Roshan.

The way of soloing roshan
Normally after the first hit you made on Roshan, he will throw a stun on u. So, just normal attack him a hit. After his stun, walk a bit backward and cast Overpower. When overpower is cooling down (around 6 o'clock), walk forward and try to attack him (before attacking, cast Enrage). When overpower is done, cast it again. Try to make all attack with Overpower and Enrage, it helps to kill roshan fast, which mean the lesser damage you need to tank. Repeat the steps, you can definitely defeat(solo) Roshan.

After Vanguard, my suggestion is, get a Boot of Speed (Power Thread is not a must, because later on you could make Boot of Travel) and follow by Reaver, Vitality Booster, Heart of Tarasque.

Another option, you could go for Dagger of Escape or Lothar Edge.

When you some basic items, you could kill quite easily with teamates' supports.

For next items, you could go for Boot of Travel. And following by another Heart of Tarasque or Butterfly

For expert player or with good supported teamates, you could go for Divine Rapier.

* Beware of Orb Effect. Battlefury does not stack as well.
