DotA v6.71b AI "VENGEANCE"

Greetings! Welcome to the latest official AI DotA custom map.

VENGEANCE ... REVENGE, COMEBACK. Those are the feelings which a poor, pwned AI soul feels while his spirit fades out, slowly in the breezing air. Now the time has come, to stand for all they believe in. The new dynamic exp/gold mode is ON. The pwned AI players will get exp and gold bonuses which will bring back their might and get them a second chance to finish the game with honor. Here, I devote this release to the name: VENGEANCE... feel the wrath of the poor scripted souls.

CHANGELOG
==============

MAP CODE

1. All the data from 6.71/6.71b changelist at the official DotA website. Too long to paste it all here.

AI CHANGES

1. New Dynamic Exp/Dynamic Gold mode. Here are some explanations how it works:
AI have bonus rate in XP and GOLD. Human rate is 100% XP and 1 GOLD / 0.875s (8G / 7s). AI rate is higher than that.

So, when AI hero kills, he gets -15% xp, and -4G/7s (from current bonus rate) and if the current rate is higher than the starting rate, it resets to starting rate

When AI hero dies, he gets + 15% xp, and +4G/7s (to current bonus rate), if current rate is lower than starting rate, it resets to starting rate

When AI hero gets an assist, he gets -7% xp and -2G/7s (from current bonus rate)

Min rate for AI is human rate (it won't get lower than that), there is no max rate

2. Two new sections in the scoreboard showing the current AI XP and GOLD rate. There might be up to 2.5s delay in scoreboard update for the rate

3. De/Dg mode is enabled by default, unless ne/ng is enabled

4. Various internal fixes. The big job for fixing the broken AI for 6.72 will begin soon.

Some thoughts

Here is a status update. I started reviewing the changes which AITeam made while i was gone.
It seems that 6.71b is ready for a release apart from some AI corrections on my part... which i`ll have to do in the next days or next week.

On 6.72... most things are ported... really nice progress. I have to do some verification process but tests are showing fine results.
There is a new AI gold/exp system in the works which will make those pwnage AIs less rewarded and the underachievers getting back in game.
So i`m planning on 6.71b release, then 6.72a with pwnage Slark and then maybe 6.72c.
6.72a and c will have 2 versions (with and without dynamic exp/gold).
Those are my plans... for now. They may change if something unexpected happens.

I`m back!

Hello, again.
I`ve been busy for some time with a lot of work but now i`m kinda free for some time. I`m going to work hard to release 6.71&6.72
The AITeam did a great job while i was away.. i tried to concentrate on my work so i can finish it faster and get some time for the AI.
So, expect some news in the near future. Stay put :)

DotA 6.72 AI (news and woes)

Well, 6.72 is out... by the first look GREAT changes gameplay-wise... but AI wise... half the heroes get broken... some of them become useless. Loads of work on porting and then fixing the AI heroes... and you can bet that the changes port will be a breeze compared to fixing the AI.
So.. the plan is-> 6.71b AI release first and then 6.72(x). But i`m not happy with the amount of work needed for 6.72 AI release. It wont happen soon too.

Also the new hero: Rubick... as i`m reading his skills, i think that i can make him an Invoker v2.0. In my mind some scenarios emmerge: you release a stun projectile to Rubick... he steals the stun and releases a stun to u just before he gets stunned... so u both are stunned at the same time... just he`ll get out of stun before you :) neat!

Yuri Alekseyevich Gagarin was a Soviet pilot and cosmonaut. He was the first human being to journey into outer space, when his Vostok spacecraft completed an orbit of the Earth on April 12, 1961. Here, 50 years after his space adventure i devote this release to the name: GAGARIN.

Phoenix, basic AI

Well i tried to do some good for Phoenix, but i just don`t feel the love for him :) I have the feeling he will not be decent AI player. Although he is coded to do some good moves... i don`t have the urge to make him better. Maybe another time, another day i`ll change my mind.
