DotA Allstars 6.51 AI+ (AI Plus) 1.52

Originally from: DotA Allstars 6.51 AI+ 1.52, Port of RGB's AI+ for 6.48b (Revision 2)




So far, there have been some AI maps appearing, but from all that I've played, DotA AI+ by RGB have the most challenging AI.

This is a great AI map that I'd reccomend for both new and experienced players.

This AI was posted by BuffMePlz on the D.A. forums, along with the ff. message:

This is a port of RGB's AI+ v1.52 (originally written for DotA Allstars 6.48b).

It behaves the same as the original AI, and has only been updated to account for new item recipes. As such, some new content does not work fully with the AI yet.

THERE IS NO AI FOR LIFESTEALER AND INVOKER. THEY WILL GET BASIC ITEMS AND WILL NEITHER USE NOR LEARN THEIR SKILLS.

Known bugs with AI:
-Sand King doesn't use Epicenter
-Luna doesn't level up Lucent Beam, so Eclipse is very weak
-Lanaya crashes the game

Some commands have yet to be implemented properly:
-ah
-afk
-kickafk

Additionally, I have added a Fun Tavern in the lower right corner for kicks. Currently includes four legacy heroes (possibly more in the future): Old Invoker, Old Lifestealer, Old Silencer, and Gambler.

To access the fun tavern, type -fun within the first 15 seconds of the game.

Starcraft 2 update: 3rd zerg unit - Baneling

BANELING

• Type: Sapper
• Core Genus: Zergling
• Primary Attack: Volatile Burst

(image taken from site)

Concept art:

While in the screenshot above you can see that the baneling looks more like a scarab beetle, here in the concept art we can see that it looks more like a spider with claws for feet and a huge sac filled with a lot of acid.
Funny thing though, is that the baneling doesn't make use of its feet. It moves by curling up into a ball and rolling around (lol,imagine Sonic the hedgehog).



It's decribed as a unit the gets close to an enemy and then "triggers a reaction within its volatile chemical payload that causes it to explode with devastating force and shower the immediate surroundings with searing acid."

Of course by saying that it 'explodes' they mean suicide so its very much like an infested terran or a land unit version of Starcraft's scourge(air unit).

Also Notable is that this unit is identified as a morph of the zergling, meaning that it theoretically can be produced in an alarming rate since it's a from the basic tier 1 zerg unit. Its attack can do damage to both units and buildings in an AoE, a couple of them could potentially wipe out a batch of marines in an instant (burrow FTW?).






Here in this video we can see that the baneling in its idle animation, looks menacingly throbbing, and seems likely to explode at anytime like a giant water baloon (filled with deadly acid, that is).
