DotA Allstars 6.33 Officially Released!
After weeks of anticipation, DotA Allstars version 6.33 (not ai) has been released, a testiment to the committment of WC3:FT custom maps programmers to continuous tweaking and balancing of the game. I’ve already downloaded it, and hope that it will be as good as its predecessors. You can download DotA 6.33 HERE. The changelog is as follows:
6.33 Changelog:
===============
* Added two new items
* Reworked/Improved Bristleback, Avernus and Mercurial
* Many code improvements
* New map preview picture by Artgerm
* Improved the game mode entering system. Modes are now entered on one line like “-apidsh” or “-dm -ar -sc”.

* Reduced Lycan’s wolves’ model size a bit
* Some -dmar hero respawn optimizations
