For players looking to experience the classic DotA 6.76c environment with computer-controlled opponents, the AI-ported version remains a staple of the Warcraft III custom map scene. This version was highly anticipated for its inclusion of Arc Warden and Winter Wyvern AI, providing a challenging practice environment for those mastering these specific hero mechanics.
The development of this map was led by PBMN, a recognized figure in the DotA AI community. Because AI porting requires complex scripting within the Warcraft III World Editor, development cycles were often subject to the developer's personal availability and hardware access, as documented in the historical updates below.

Hello, again.
I`m still in a process of renting a flat in Germany(Munich)... apparently this is a very hard thing, even if you can pay for it. Please, stop filling my inbox asking for links. No work is done on the map yet, so there are no links. I`m getting the files i need soon and i may begin preparing the port... but i can`t work without a workstation. Developing on a tablet is impossible :)
Hopefully things will change for the better before the holidays.

I`m planning to port the AI map to 6.76 but unfortunately, very soon, I'm going to move to a new country - Germany (Munich). Thus the next release date depends much on the speed i can find a suitable rent apartment there... as i can`t place my workstation and work on the map, in my free time, without a proper place to live. The big unknown is in front of me :) but i`ll keep you posted of my progress.
