================================================================================ OH NO ITS THE README! ================================================================================ The map is now in a zip archive!

This is done so people would not have problems with downloading the map (no more corrupt map etc., at least now you know its corrupt if ever :D ). Files like this can now be included. To anyone who want to distribute the map, please include this file along with the map in an archive. New to DotA? ============ Read the install guide at http://www.getdota.com/Install.pdf Words from the Maker (tada) =========================== I decided to continue this until a decent dota ai map from another person (aside from cloud_str) is created or if Cloud_Str truly comes back. Almost all of my goals in this map has been achieved (i do not aim for a perfect ai, as i know that it is tedious to do it, i mean i recieve no money from this). Only my desire to help the community is the thing that keeps me going from developing ai maps. Please still do appreciate all ai maps that is released to the DotA community (except for total rip-offs). Even though you are not having the challenge you are expecting from the ai. Take note that Warcraft III does not support an ai of some sort to these kinds of games (only from ladder). Only the scripting language, JASS, is available, but JASS is very limited and slow. Be happy that some people are still pouring their time for this. If you like this, Thank you. If not, then I cannot do anything from that. If you are thinking that you can make a better ai than this, then go on and do it. I encourage you to share some of your time for the DotA community. DotA AI maps are very valuable due to one reason: practice. Playing with the ai is a good way to get you start to DotA, then you go play with people to be better. You can also test new combinations and heroes without people cursing you . Map Status ========== This map is currently in beta status, if you want to help or create a dota ai map, instead go to openai project (http://openai.ipbfree.com/). This map will not last long (i am becoming very busy) and i have plans to release it as open source in the openai project (if they ever need or welcome it). What can i expect in this map? ============================= Newbie: You can play against computers in this map. The AI does not play exactly the same as what any normal human player would play. Right now, they cannot adopt to new strategies. Some strategies that work with the AI does not work with humans and vice versa.

This is not the kind of AI that will drop dead so easy. If you are thinking the AI cheats due to higher exp and gold bonuses, well you have the superior human brain, so its just even. You are not required to do a 1v5 insane or something. There is the easy difficulty, and the "-ne" mode (See AI Modes for more info). Playing with the AI can hone some basic skills you need in order to play well in dota. You cannot be a pro or something just by playing this, playing with other people to get experience is still the best way. Average Player: If you cannot play on the net or just want to have a leaver free game. Then this map is perfect for you. You can also do things here that you cannot do with a normal game like testing item builds and heroes (See Test Mode for more info). If you want, then go on and try challenges in the map like 1v5 insane, or play the map with a friend and own the ai (no leavers, so you can extend the game until you have your ultimate item build or get 100 kills etc.). You can also hone some of your skills here (like denying). Still, its better playing against humans. Expert: Nothing really. :D AI Difficulty =========== Easy: 15% bonus exp (35% w/ highexp) no bonus gold (4 w/ highgold) inconsistent/weaker AI Normal: 40% bonus exp (75% w/ highexp) 4 bonus gold (8 w/ highgold) Insane: 75% bonus exp (120% w/ highexp) 8 bonus gold (16 w/ highgold) has innate warcraft engine bonuses (I have nothing to do w/ this) There is 100 gold that is divided between ai teams, Normal gets x3 of that and Insane gets x5 of it. Why the extra difficulty and gold, isnt that cheating? ==================================================== I just have to say it again, the AI is not on par with humans, HUMANS >>>> AI, so the extra gold and exp is needed. If you want to remove the extra difficulty, then input -ne to activate the normal exp mode. Right now there is no mode to remove the gold bonuses. AI Extras ========= This map has no INTENDED altering of any element in the Normal Game. This also has no added cheat in screwing up human play when playing with the ai. They bots have extra gold and exp gain. They can also buy any item from the fountain. They have abnormal properties to buy tangoes/scrolls in the fountain

even if are short of gold (but never for free). You can give the AI items but they cannot form recipes from it. (To prevent abuses). They will pick up items dropped in the map as long as it's owner is an enemy or an ally that is far from the item. They will drop all items owned by allies in the fountain and sell items by the enemies. Each AI hero have 2 different(not totaly unique) item builds. They have some sort of universal build in Death Match Mode. In Item Drop Mode, they drop a duplicate of an item in their inventory in exchange of gold. AI Modes ======== -supertower(-st) All towers and the ancient regenerates HP. -highexp(-he), -highgold(-hg), -normexp(-ne) Modifies the exp/gold gained by the AI players. For more info, see AI Difficulties -dynaexp(-de) Exp gained by AI players is normal at the start. They gain 15% bonus exp rate each time they die and lose 15% bonus exp rate each time they kill. Maximum of 100% exp rate (which is 90% for now) and minimum of 0% bonus exp (which is the normal exp rate) -msupercreeps(-mc) Super creeps spawns every 2 minutes starting at the 4th minute. The first spawn is a Scary fish. Hydra doesn't spawn till the 20th minute onwards. There will be 2 Super creeps spawned after the 40th minute. The super creeps are also spawned on the same lane. *Note: For all player numbers in the commands - 1-5 covers the sentinel players and 6-10 the scourge players (6 - pink player etc.). AI Commands =========== Only the chosen players (notified by a message) can use the commands. Type "-o", "-c" or " c" before any of these commands: (ex. "-oa", "-ca", " ca" are all legal) Note: XX refers to player number (1,2,..,10), you can type more than 1 player number using "," (ex. "-oa 2,4,5") a or a XX: AI attacks enemy base. This can be used to cancel sd. When you use this, the bots are unable to attack neutral creep camps or defend for a while. d or d XX: AI defends the base. sd XX: AI stays to the base to defend. They will not end their defending when there

are no more intruders in base. Cancel it by ordering the bot to attack. b XX: AI backs a little. f XX: AI retreats to fountain. p[l/m/r/n]: (ex. -cpm ) Tells all allied AI to push at left/mid/right whenever they have the chance to push.

The AI will go to the back of where the allied creeps in the lane are located. t XX [target]: (ex. -ct 1,4 8) Attack target's location if it is visible. flask, tango: Have bots use Tango or Flask. Input valid only on 1st minute of game. neut: Turn neutral creeping on/off.

Other Commands: -pa(chooses ally), -pe(chooses enemy), -px(cancel choosing) Only players who were notified can use this. With -pa/-pe you can "pick" for the ai by clicking on the hero at a tavern. You can only use these commands while you have not chosen a hero yet or before 1:10. Use -px to stop choosing for the ai. If you have not used -pa or -pe within 45 seconds, the bots will pick their heroes and you may not be able to use -pa/-pe. -csXX Shows the creepstats of a Computer player. Any player can use this command. -msXX Shows the move speed of a Computer player. Any player can use this command. -aid All nearby ally casts a support spell to you, or an AOE spell if you're surounded by enemies, or attack an enemy hero near you. Any player can use this command. Test Mode =========

======== This AI is an unofficial one, however I did not alter any element in the game (if you remove the AI, and not use the new modes). The AI can never replace humans. AI by RGB (aka lazy fiend). The basic AI is derived from Cloud_str's "old" 6.27b AI version. The first version of this type of ai sets a new level and dimension in ai development, which could take long to attain if that map is not released. I am proud of making a difference and helping this community.
