DotA 6.78c AI v1.4e: Codename "Farewell" (PleaseBugMeNot)

For the classic Warcraft III community, few names are as legendary in map development as PleaseBugMeNot, the creator responsible for maintaining and evolving DotA's Artificial Intelligence (AI) maps for years. DotA 6.78c AI v1.4e marks a historic milestone as the final version developed by this creator, earning it the official codename: "Farewell".

This release stands as a tribute to years of dedication, giving offline and solo players the ultimate polished experience of the 6.78c patch. Here is everything you need to know about this definitive edition, its features, and how to configure your match.

What Makes the "Farewell" Version Special?

This map successfully brings all the balance updates, hero adjustments, and mechanics from the official 6.78c patch into offline play against bots, combined with exclusive AI optimizations.

  • Item Build Updates: Bot item progression has been overhauled to reflect more competitive choices based on the 6.78c meta.
  • Anti-Stuck Fixes: One of the most significant improvements is the resolution of critical "Stuck" bugs, drastically reducing instances where AI heroes get trapped in the terrain or trees.
  • Code Optimization: The internal script map has been optimized to ensure smoother performance, less lag during massive team fights, and improved AI decision-making.

Essential AI Commands

Because this is a dedicated AI version, bots default to receiving bonus resources and experience to make them more challenging. You can use the following chat commands immediately when the match starts to customize the rules:

  • -ap (All Pick): Enables hero selection across all taverns, letting you or the bots choose any character on the map.
  • -ne (Normal Experience) / -ng (Normal Gold): Balances the match by forcing bots to earn the exact same rate of gold and experience as human players.
  • -pe / -pa: Allows you to manually pick specific heroes for the enemy bots (-pe) or allied bots (-pa).

Choose your preferred secure cloud storage platform to download the map file (6.99 MB).

(Note: Ensure you have WinRAR installed to properly extract the .w3x map file from the downloaded archive.)
