For players looking to push the boundaries of the classic Warcraft III custom map scene, the 6v6 modification for DotA v6.68c offers a unique way to experience the game with two additional players. This mod was developed by FuBaSh to expand the standard 5v5 competitive format.
As noted by GoD-Tony during the original release:
"It seems like we have an ambitious new developer in our midst. FuBaSh has been working on a 6v6 release for v6.68c and he believes it's ready, so here it is. Enjoy!"
Technical Considerations and Experience
When modifying legacy Warcraft III maps, it is important to understand that custom 6v6 implementations can occasionally encounter stability issues or UI overlaps due to the game engine's original design for 10-player limits. While this release aims to integrate the additional slots seamlessly, users should approach custom modifications with the understanding that they may differ from the official IceFrog releases.
Release Notes:
- A big thanks to FuBaSh for working on 6v6 DotA.
- I have not had the chance to test this map myself. It may or may not be missing features that I used to include.
