14. Changed Rylai Crestfall, Crystal Maiden behavior(cipd)
15. Changed Axe`s use of BladeMail and Satanic for defence purposes
16. Changed some behavior for Luna and Morphling(better using of waveform for escape). (cipd)
17. Fixed modes: mc, sc and the orders from the AI UI for changing lanes (my mistake after deobfuscation)
18. I think i fixed some hero swap bug after correcting some errors after Harreke`s deobfuscation. Needs testing.
19. Changed the way AI choose its lanes at the beginning if there's no lane restriction. They go 2-1-2 at the start of the map. The heroes in the middle are picked up from a predefined Hero pool(cipd).
20. 2 new modes (Skillbuild View): when in game, write -osv XX or -osven XX for looking the skills trees of the AI heroes. XX == id of the hero. For ex.: -osv 2, -osven 6. (cipd)
21. Fixed Puck`s Dream Coil with Aghanims - it was not showing the cooldown on the scoreboard.
22. Fixed an old bug with command: All Ally push Left - just an old typo left from the BMP days
23. ADDED ENEMY AI COMMANDS: -osden (stay defense base) -oden (return to defense) -oaen (resume attacking)
24. Fixed Nerubian Weaver`s new skill The Swarm - now he uses it on enemies
25. Fixed Nerubian Assassin`s Urna swarm
26. Added AI for Nerubian Assassin`s scarabs - beware mages.. if scarabs see you, be prepared for silence galore. They are very aggressive when you are in range.
27. Syllabear`s bear now gets rabid effect but the thing is still bugged with random not growing stuff. Better -airepick that hero <- thats ok for Alchemist too... very bugged. 28. Added Arcane Ring to support items usage when command in chat: -aid. U must but in atleast 650 range to the owner of the ring(not tested) 29. Added *basic* AI skills usage to Tauren Chieftain.. needs more work (he doesn`t use them much ) 30. Fixed bug with AI buy outs when dead: sometimes they were buying but not respawning in base 31. Fixed bug with empty bottle and storing runes.. before they didn`t expire after 2 minutes 32. Magnataur should not initiate dagger blink without mana for at least one slam. 33. Added Skewer to the skills usage of Magnataur (didn`t test it alot... maybe it will need later fixing). Also added Skewer as escape mechanism when low HP. (not using it very good) 34. Added Scepter to Axe`s AI skills knowledge and updated his conditions level check of ultimate ability+ability with scepter.(needs testing that he is using his upgraded with scepter skill instead of unupgraded) 35. Fixed inaccurate replay data for assists ("Assist"+AssistPlayerId,VictimPlayerId)(6.67c) 36. Fixed Puck`s phaseshift (there is still a bug in IceFrog`s map when in phaseshift and Mirana`s ulti, sometimes Puck is moving in phaseshift form) 37. Fixed scroll of teleport usage (new TP scroll demands Point usage instead of Target and AI couldn`t use the scrolls). Big thanx to Phaselock and i mean it VERY BIG! 38. Obsidian, Enchantress, Silencer and Bone Fletcher got better management of mana when using orb skills... they should last hit with orb skills (cipd) 39. Added Scepter to EarthShaker`s skill knowledge... need confirmation he uses the skill with 2 echoes instead of one. 40. Added Midnight Pulse and Demonic Conversion to Enigma`s skills usage 41. Added Warcry usage for Sven. 42. When -aid typed near Sven or Kaldr, they`ll aid u with Warcry or Chilling Touch. I may add more supporting skills when i have the time to look over skills. 43. Troll Warlord now should use Berserker Rage to switch from Range->Melle and vice versa
44. AI should buy sentry wards or gem when Slark is in the enemy team
45. Treant Protector now casts Nature`s Guise on him or allies. Use -aid if u need Guise or Living armor asap
46. Treant Protector now uses Sentinels to stun the enemies. NOTE: AI-Normal and AI-Insane Sentinels aim only for HEROES. THIS IS NOT A BUG so do NOT report as bug. That makes Treant 300% more effective supporter.
47. Made some changes which cipd posted in forum about last hitting - also i made a dynamic last hit value of creep`s HP. That needs testing.. if it`s not working good i`ll change it back.
48. Fixed Diabolic Edict considering invulnerable buildings as valid targets and wasting some hits
49. When distress call AI will look for third tower and raxes to TP... now it will also look for the Left and Right 4th towers or the Throne/Tree to teleport, if raxes are dead.(not tested)
50. AI Normal have 1/3 chance to pay for consumables like salves, AI Insane have 25% to pay for consumables. Easy should pay always. Also wards and gems are now free for AI. The reason i made that is... that wards and gems waste too much cash and AI just sticks without gold.
51. You can -airepick many times now.
52. Hakuna matata bug prolly fixed (cipd)
53. Removed cipd`s defense patch by his request. Old BMP`s defense is up again.
54. Added -cn mode - coolnames mode... all bots gets a "+" infront of their names.(cipd)
55. Removed a bug with Medusa`s moving.
56. Removed teleporting to side shops.
57. Changed teleporting with boots/scrolls from target to point use.
58. Added Aghanim`s scepter to the item`s build of Juggernaut.. also tried to make him use the upgraded skill.
59. Balanar will use Darkness during the night... that way he prolongs it much further.
60. Fixed Undying and Visage not learning all the skills. Some heroes may have that problem too.
61. Minor adjustment (+50) to the extra aoe XP bounty(6.68)
62. Added new enemy command: -oroshanen - send the enemy heroes to fight Roshan. If u send your allies too... they can make an orgy there
63. Added item and skill builds to Slark. Also added some _basic_ AI for skill usage. Don`t expect wonders. I`m not done with him.
64. Naix - Casting Open Wounds no longer loses attack focus + memory leak fixed (6.68)
65. New ingame command added: -rn BotNewName .... where should be: Blue -> 1, Teal -> 2, Purple -> 3, Yellow -> 4, Orange -> 5 | Pink -> 7, Grey -> 8, Light Blue -> 9, Dark Green -> 10, Brown -> 11. Names must be max 19 chars long. They also get their "+" infront. Should not be like any other name in the game. And you have 10 renames per game.(tnx to GetTriggerUnit-)
66. Decided to release an AI+ version with the CIPD`s Defence patch. Which is better... i don`t know... hence the both versions.

Known problems:
=============

1. Crashes still going on. Maybe it is a skill or memory leak... we couldn`t track it... it`s just too random.
2. AI will use skills if Alchemist uses Concoction in their range
3. Kaldr`s Ice Blast is causing AI to use skills on the dummy unit.
4. Until level 11... AI will try to TP from fountain area... but sometimes will fail and they`ll buy another one... and sometimes they`ll have 2 slots with TPs. They`ll probably clear it the next time visiting fountain. That bug will be addressed for the next release.
5. There are still thousands of little incomplete and causing problems things... but that`s for now... until someone makes new AI framework from scratch!

List of Incomplete Ai:
Razor,Slark(basic AI),Admiral,Clockwerk,Invoker,Visage.
Here's also a list of Heroes that Ai uses and its worth making them to -airepick:
Alchemist,Spiritbreaker,Bristleback,Lycanthrope,Un dying,Lone Druid,Templar Assassin,Soul Keeper,Storm Spirit,Windrunner,Batrider,Tinker,Techies.

New Loadscreen for the DotA 6.69!

Bored with the current DotA loadscreen above? Don't worry, we just got a good news from IceFrog. He said that a new loading screen will likely be included on the next update (DotA 6.69). Great! It's about time we got a new loadscreen :) Check out below for the complete IceFrog post.

There is a new loadscreen in the works right now. It will most likely be included in the next update.

6.69 development has also been progressing nicely. I'm not sure exactly when it will be finished just yet, but I'm aiming for something in the near future. I will post another update when it is closer.

If there's anything you'd like to see in the new loadscreen, or any suggestions for 6.69 or 6.70 in general, please let me know. It is always helpful when you guys email me your requests so that I can make sure the updates meet your expectations

So, do you have a guess what heroes will be included on the next loadscreen? I hope Icarus the Phoenix will also put in there.. :)

DotA 2 and DotA 3 Trademark Filled by Valve

Valve has made another step about their DotA game. After a while ago they applied for the DotA trademark, recently they also filled the trademark for DotA 2 and DotA 3.


This is a common thing for company who believe their game will have a sequel, such as Blizzard with Warcraft, Diablo and Starcraft series. Well, right now only time which can tell where this action will take us.

If you wanna see the details about the trademark application, check out on the links below:
- DotA 2
- DotA 3

So,will Valve followed Blizzard with their Starcraft trilogy? Or maybe they have another idea kept on their base? We'll see on the near future :)
