DotA AI REBORN (Bots)

For the classic Warcraft III community, the legacy of offline matches continues to thrive through passionate community effort. Following the final official AI updates published by PleaseBugMeNot, independent creators took the mantle to keep the map current. DotA AI REBORN is an unofficial custom map developed by an anonymous user from the Chinese community, a region where DotA 1 still maintains a massive and highly active player base.

This edition ensures that solo and offline players can experience modern gameplay updates directly against computer-controlled bots. Here is everything you need to know about this revamped version, its features, and how to configure your match.

What Makes the AI REBORN Version Special?

This map successfully brings the balance updates, mechanical adjustments, and additions from the official 6.85 patch into offline play, keeping the experience incredibly close to the original competitive release with only minor visual tweaks.

  • IceFrog 6.85 Content: It integrates almost all the official features from the 6.85 version, maintaining high fidelity to the original gameplay balance.
  • New Items & Custom Icons: Includes the implementation of newly introduced items, featuring unique custom item images that differentiate them visually.
  • Map & Terrain Restructuring: Features major adjustments to map layout positioning, tactical terrain elevation changes, and general functional improvements for smoother AI behavior.

Essential AI Commands

Because this is a dedicated AI version, bots automatically receive boosted resources and experience by default to compensate for human strategy. You can type the following commands into the in-game chat interface right at the start of the match to customize your experience:

  • -ap (All Pick): Removes tavern selection restrictions, allowing you and the bots to choose any hero on the map.
  • -ne (Normal Experience) / -ng (Normal Gold): Disables bot resource advantages, forcing them to earn experience and gold at the exact same rate as human players.
  • -pe / -pa: Grants you manual draft control over the bots, letting you choose specific heroes for the enemy team (-pe) or your allied bots (-pa).
