The development of the DotA 6.69c AI map marks a significant milestone in Warcraft III custom map modding. Thanks to the dedicated work of PleaseBugMeNot and the AITeam, this release introduces functional AI for Kael (Invoker) and implements critical memory leak fixes that improve overall map stability during long sessions. Having tested this build, I can confirm that while the AI logic is complex, the technical improvements to the script architecture are a noticeable step forward for the platform.
For a detailed breakdown of the technical adjustments and hero-specific logic changes, please visit the DotA 6.69c AI Beta Changelogs page.
UPDATE: For those tracking the latest development cycle, DotA 6.70c AI is now available for download.
Developer Insights (PleaseBugMeNot):
This release is notable as the first to feature AI for Kael, Invoker. While the hero AI is functional, it is currently in a refinement phase. Based on my experience playing against this build, the Invoker AI starts with a conservative playstyle but becomes significantly more dangerous once the cooldown for Invoke is reduced and the mana pool is sufficient for high-impact spell rotations. Feedback regarding his decision-making process is encouraged. Further updates regarding the 6.70 AI map will be posted on the official PleaseBugMeNot’s DotA AI versions blog.

The current script has undergone a major overhaul involving memory leak mitigation and decryption. Because this is a beta release, users may encounter unexpected behavior or skill execution errors.
