DotA 6.73c AI Map Download (News & Updates)

2012-02-12T20:16:00.000+08:00

DotA 6.73c AI Map (News). It's been a while since we received last DotA 6.73c patch from IceFrog. Now it's probably time for a new AI map. The AI map developer PleaseBugMeNot has already posted status updates assuring that DotA 6.73c AI development is in progress and is going nicely. You might wanna check it out:

Here's a quote from AI Dev Team member, Green Sliche:

6.73c content is ported completely, we even made new loading screen and of course map already has new codename. What it is? It's a secret, but it fits new map perfectly.

Right now we test new item build system which supposed to be broken itembuild, free and simpler than old one. As you can guess new item builds are coming, as well as new items for AI and even more.

Overall we plan to add and tweak many things (such as dodge mechanics and gank system ) so this version will take a while, but I'm sure this one will be even more special than all previous AI maps combined.
As you can see, the new AI is coming with improved item-builds and mechanics, the bots will be more challenging and harder than the previous version. Let's hope PBMN and his team implements the changes soon so the map releases. We'll publish more updates regarding DotA 6.73c AI plus on this page. Stay tuned!

Element TD Survivor 7.2

2012-02-12T20:06:00.000+08:00

Element TD Survivor is a game for 1-8 players. There are many game options available, but in a typical game, each player is able to select their own difficulty which will determine the gold they start with, the number of creeps, and the strength of the creeps. Waves of creeps come at regular intervals.

Players start out with a simple builder that can build 2 basic tower types. After 5 turns, each player receives 1 lumber which can be spent on an "elemental" ability. Every 5 turns after that, each player receives another piece of lumber which can be used either to buy another elemental ability, or to upgrade one of their current abilities.

One of the interesting aspects of the game is "interest" which is extra gold received every 15 seconds based on how much unspent gold you have. You can even upgrade the interest rate by spending lumber.

There are quite a few options and available configurations. The host can either choose all the options, or allow the players to vote on all the options. Some options include the difficulty, a hero mode that can be selected at the beginning of the game which will allow elemental heros to be used in the game, a race-mode where the last person to clear their creeps loses a life, or a random-same mode where the computer will spend all player's lumber on the same things. Setting the same difficulty, race-mode, and random-same can make for a very even competition between players!

Aside from ugly hard-on-the-eyes pink boxes in the map, the game can be pretty fun. It's options make it a flexible map - if you're playing for the first time or aren't very good, you can set yourself to an easy mode and play alone or with others. If you and your friends are looking for a game to compete against each other with, by changing a few options, you can have a pretty fun match as well.

[BK's] Gem TD

2012-02-06T21:22:00.002+08:00

This game is a survivor TD where you need to either win, or in some cases simply stay alive the longest. It has a high learning curve, and the first few matches can be difficult for new players - however it becomes a lot of fun once you have the hang of things. This game requires 1-8 people. At the beginning of the match, the host can choose for everyone to either race each other (race-mode), or to simply play at the same pace. New players should play in race-mode, because you can take as much time as you need each turn.

How to play:

In this game you build 5 gems before each round. One of these will be turning into a tower, while the others will be turned into mazing stones. You simply decide where to place them, and a random gem will be put in each location. In addition you can pick one of the gems in each round. In race mode, you may take all the time you need, but in the other mode you must be quick in placing them, because if you forget to build all 5 each round, or if you weren't quick enough, you will lose out on those gems. Once you place your 5 gems, you can choose the ONE gem you want to keep as a tower. Creeps are released each round which will always try to follow the same path. Therefore it's best to build mazes.

In the middle of the map, you will find "recipes" which will show you what gems combine into others. During the game you can also upgrade the quality of your gems which is very recommended. This game is fairly difficult, but has a layer of randomness and chance which makes things different every game, and is really a blast!

Much of the game is learn-as-you-go. Knowing the gem qualities before hand can help though, and they are as follows:

Chipped (worst)
Flawed
Normal
Flawless
Perfect (best)

You typically get mostly Chipped gems at the start of the game. As you upgrade your gem quality, you have higher chances of getting the better gems. Remember that if you get certain gem combinations, you can sometimes combine to make an even better gem!

Geomancer

Earthbind

Rains earthen spikes across a target area, pinning down all enemy units.

Poof

Drawing mystical energies from the earth, Meepo can teleport to another Geomancer, leaving destruction in his wake. After channeling for 1.5 seconds, Meepo instantly teleports to nearest target Geomancer, dealing damage in the departure and arrival locations.

Geostrike

The Geomancer enchants his weapon with the essence of the earth, crushing the life from his enemies and numbing their legs. Slows target movement speed and deals damage per second.

Divided We Stand

Meepo summons an imperfect, semi-autonomous duplicate of himself, which can gain gold and experience as he does and shares his experience and abilities. However, the clones cannot wield any items but the boots that Meepo himself wears. If any of the clones die, they all die.

In the right hands, Meepo is a deadly weapon, with the potential to take on multiple enemies at the same time. He has the capabilities to slow his enemies to a crawl, to permanently stop an enemy from moving, and teleport across the entire map in a Poof! His main strength, and greatest weakness, is his ability to divide himself into 4 identical clones, each possessing his full skill-set, and a copy of his shoes. Geomancer players must take care, however, as the death of one clone means the death of all - Divided They Stand, but United They Fall!

Originally worshipped by the pagan tribes of Germania and the black forests that encompassed it, Meepo is a mischievous spirit of the earth who enjoys burying his enemies alive in mountains of rock spikes, pinning them down into helplessness as he pummels them into submission woth his mighty shovel. The most disturbing of the Geomancer's powers, however, is his ability to separate his being into multiple selves, each as powerful as the original and making him potentially four times the trouble for the unlicky who encounter him.

Netherdrake

Poison Attack

Coats Viper's attack with poison. Slows movement and attack speeds and lasts 2 seconds.

Nethertoxin

Adds a powerful toxin to your attacks. Deals more damage the lower the target's health is. Half damage on non-hero units and buildings.

Corrosive Skin

Viper's body is covered with poison, granting increased resistance to spells. Also, any unit that attacks Viper will become infected, taking minor damage and having its movement speed and attack speed reduced for 3 seconds.

Viper Strike

Strikes with a vicious bite, slowing movement and attack speed significantly and dealing poison damage over time.

Viper specializes in pinning down single targets from a distance, while dealing moderate damage. His Poison Attack allows him to consistently slow someone down, and he can fire a heavily concentrated Viper Strike toxin to nearly stop someone in their tracks, and deal good damage over time. This allows him to be more aggressive as he can go in and keep targets from escaping. To aid with leading a charge, he's developed Corrosive Skin that offers resistances, returns minor poison and slows the attacker. While most of Viper's damage is dealt over time with poisons, he has a passive Nethertoxin which allows him to deal additional damage to weaker units.

A malicious Drake tamed by the Lich King himself, Viper is a fierce, acid-spitting beast whose speed and agility surprises the most hardened of warriors. Cursing himself into a maddened rage, Viper charges into battle without regard of his own safety. His salivary glands produce stinging poison that causes enemies to writhe in pain, severely damaging their nerves. Be careful when facing this powerful monster...its dark silhouette may be the last thing you will ever see.

Venomancer

Venomous Gale

Releases a Venomous Gale which poisons enemy units it comes in contact with. Poisoned units take initial damage, damage over time, and have their movement speed slowed for a short duration.

Poison Sting

Adds poison damage to this hero's normal attacks, slowing movement speed. Lasts 7 seconds.

Plague Ward

Summons an immobile serpentine ward. The ward is immune to magic. Lasts 40 seconds.

Poison Nova

Creates a ring of noxious poison that damages enemy units over a 12 second period. Can be improved by Aghanim's Scepter.

The Venomancer uses an assortment of toxins to slowly bring down his enemies. He can shoot a fast Venomous Gale projectile out that poisons in a narrow wave front of him, which will slow enemies down greatly and deal damage over time. His attacks are coated with Poisonous Stingers that deal minor slow and damage. He can place Plague Wards far out in front of him to scout, or in the battle to push and even block off routes. His ultimate Poison Nova attack unleashes potent toxin in a large ring around his body, infecting everyone it hits, dealing large damage, but over a long time. Though this toxin is non-lethal, every other poison he carries is. He is exceptional at weakening enemies, and slowing them down.

For those obsessed with death, poison is a necessary study. However, Lesale went a step too far. He experimented upon himself with various toxins and chemicals so that he could learn the secrets of death. These twisted his mind and mutated his body into a hideous creature which embodies an immense hatred for all things pure. He can strike enemies with a concentrated shot of poison or even spread a toxic gas throughout an entire area, severely weakening beast and human alike.

Spectre

Spectral Dagger

The Spectre launches a deadly dagger that trails a Shadow Path. Deals damage to the targets in its path. Units hit by the dagger will also trail a Shadow Path. The Spectre becomes phased (gains zero collision) while on the path.

Desolate

Deals bonus damage that cuts through armor when attacking a hero that has no nearby allied units. Works on Illusions.

Dispersion

Causes any damage taken by Mercurial to be reflected onto all enemies in a 1000 AoE. The further away the enemy is the less damage is dealt.

Haunt

Creates a haunting image beside each enemy hero. These images are uncontrollable, take 200% damage, deal 40% damage and each of them will attack only its pair. Haunting images have a 1 second delay before they become active..

Mercurial is able to Desolate opponents for pure damage if she catches them alone, and Disperses damage intake, reflecting it in the area around her. She can hurl a Spectral Dagger at opponents, which will slow and damage enemies, as well as allow Spectre to pass through material objects and travel across any terrain. She should be feared as a constant presence, being able to Haunt images of herself upon all enemy heroes from any distance, and even reform her actual self into any one of those images to physically enter a fight.

A darkness who was ancient even in the early days of the world's existence, Mercurial is the embodiment of rage and vengeance in the souls of those long dead. Haunting her enemies with relentless fervor, she is able to throw a dagger-like projectile that allows her to chase her prey beyond physical boundaries, and the fear and the desolation struck in the hearts of those who have the misfortune of encountering her alone is a pain impossible to withstand. Spectre's thirst for destruction is insatiable, and the upcoming struggle seems to be just what she was waiting for.

Nerubian Assassin

Impale

Slams the ground with massive claws, shooting spiked tendrils out in a straight line, dealing damage and hurling enemy ground units into the air in their wake.

Mana Burn

Sends a bolt of negative energy that burns a target enemy unit's mana based on its Intelligence. Burned mana combusts, dealing damage to the target equal to the amount of mana burned.

Urna Swarm

Raises a Scarab from a corpse.

Vendetta

The Nerubian Assassin turns invisible for a short period of time, and can break his invisibility with an incredibly damaging attack.

The Nerubian Assassin starts off by wearing his opponents down early on, Burning their Mana for damage, keeping them fairly useless and vulnerable. With a Vendetta against living things, he can become invisible, travel faster, and deal great damage to the next thing he hits. Following up with his powerful line stunning impale and then Mana Burn is a combo most will instantly fall victim to--hard to see it coming and difficult to escape. His Scarabs can spy the lay of the land to alert him to danger or his next victim.

Anub'arak was once the greatest champion of the Nerubian, but fell in Second War of the Spider. He was resurrected by the Lich King Ner'zhul, who promised him eternal undeath in exchange for his unswerving loyalty. When threatened, he shoots spikes through enemies maiming and disorienting them. He channels his dark powers into a bolt of disarming negative energy, and those who witness him blending into the shadows of the frozen tundra have never lived to tell the tale.

Brood Mother

Spawn Spiderlings

The Broodmother injects her young into a target, creating immense pain. If the target is killed by the injection, spiderlings will be born.

Spin Web

Spins a web which grants the Broodmother invisibility in an area, regeneration, as well as a passive speed increase. Regeneration and speed improves per level.

Incapacitating Bite

Gives the Broodmother venom which will greatly reduce the target's ability to function, and deal extra damage.

Insatiable Hunger

The Broodmother develops a violent thirst for vital fluids. This lust greatly increases her attack damage and gives her a vampiric attack.

Regular spiders are scary enough. This overgrown Broodmother takes arachnophobia to a whole new level. Within her web she can remain unseen, is extremely quick, and able to regenerate. The venom in her fangs not only hurts, but can cause one to miss attacks and move slower. Combine this with her ultimate Insatiable Hunger, which empowers her fangs to deal great damage and life leech, and she is one Mother you don't want to go toe to toe with. She also can inject her young from a distance into a target, dealing damage initially, and if that host dies soon after her young will spawn. She can amass young armies quickly, which are great for pushing or even taking down bigger prey if left unchecked.

Once a Queen of the Nerubians, she struck fear into the hearts of those she ruled. However she made the fatal mistake of falling in love with the renegade assassin Anub'Arak, and was banished from her own kingdom. Now she accompanies her true love in the battle of the Ancients, bearing his offspring as a symbol of her undying love. An expert in weaving webs of deception, she has the power of incapacitating those who dare attack her, and sowing in them the seeds of her offspring which then tear out of the corpse of the unfortunate victim. Her lust for battle helps her grow stronger and sustain herself, leading many to believe that her hunger for flesh, is insatiable.

He can imbue each arrow attack with a fiery enchantment for heavier damage, and Strafe his quiver for brief moments to fire in rapid succession. He is able to Windwalk, becoming invisible and gaining a great deal of movement speed, making him a potent in-and-out assassin. His ultimate allows him to consume creeps' life essences whole, increasing his hit point capacity and damage output so that he may move on to his next kill that Strafe and Windwalk help to perform. His Searing Arrows deal bonus damage to both units and buildings, making Bone Fletcher also exceptionally good at taking structures down.

The fire that kindles eternally on the visage of the fallen Elven Archer proves to others that his undeath was a mere genesis. Clinkz seeks perfection in the arts of fletching and never hesitates in sacrificing his own allies for the cause. Still retaining his ability to move with the wind, he is ready to slay the enemy officers with his swiftness and precision in archery.
