    Hey man, I'm a big fan of yours. I admire your work and the dedication you put into the Dota map.

    Dude, this might sound silly... but please, clear this up for me... Is it better to use firstgroup or filters? I'm looking for the best way to optimize my map. Many people say that using a local filter and then destroying it is bad. Others mention that firstgroup is fast, but it iterates dead units. Still others say it's better to use filters with a global boolean, but that it's slower.

    These answers are driving me crazy, bro... I need an answer from someone who actually knows which is more efficient.


    Have a nice day, and I look forward to your reply.

    ForGroup slower but safer if you have unstable mechanic like RemoveUnit() etc
    FirstOfGroup has issues of sorting units within group so order of effects quite the same all the time, yet it barely matters much.
    I use FoG across pretty much every unit enum in my dota map, but I wrote all the code and know there are no misuse of those RemoveUnit() or deadlock situations.

    Hey DracoL1ch, just stumbled on your WC3Memory github repo. First of all great job! Secondly, wanted to ask, have you tried getting various units' or heroes' map positions? I am looking for all possible data I can read from WC3 for game state modelling to later on build an AI system that will play WC3.

    You literally have GetUnitX Y and im sure there were read-only XY in unit's struct released somewhere here at Hive back to 2016 :D

    Hi bro.
    Are you the same draco that makes skins for warcraft 3 - RGC, ATINAD? XDD
    It's just that you haven't received any responses to your emails and I don't know if you're still working on it. Can I keep donating to get skins?

    Can I ask how many types of laghack are there? like what does each one do? I remember the alliance share unit spam one but was wondering if there were others after a bit of searching. Couldn't that be detected with a unit is attacked event if everyone was always an enemy to everyone else?

    dont really know, but alliance's one doesnt affect alliances at all, it only spams the packets which are being rejected anyway, so you can't see that unless you're ghost bot which can filter player's output

    Hey, is there a version of DotA with AI that works with patch 1.31.1? if so could you point me to it? thanks!

    Hey man, we really appreciate You've done to keep Dota 1 alive and all but for the new map Dota 7.04, on the rgc everyone is asking for going back to the older map 6.9
    Because if people want to play Dota 2 we would go and play Dota 2, we play on RGC for more than 10 years bro and we’re still playing on rgc just because we love the good old Dota 1.
    Please at least make it a choice, make rooms new room for it or a room for the older map 6.9
    Thank you again for everything.

    There are some bugs with Dota LoD since Reforged came out. The bugs are discussed here in the Warcraft 3 forum: https://us.forums.blizzard.com/en/warcraft3/t/dota-lod-bugs/25188?u=thepoet-11361. We have a group channel with about 90 members on b.net who still play this game all day every day. Our community would be grateful if you could update or patch the few bugs that came about since Reforged. Thank you for all you've done.

    Sorry if I'm bothering you about this, but as the leader of b.net's last and only DoTA LOD group I want to deliver results - are you able to privately send me an unlocked version of the map (6.85i, n, or n3) so someone I know can work on it? Or perhaps privately send me the contact info of ResQ or Vordik so I can ask if they will work on it? The bugs and fixes seem minor.

    (Post) Exacly xD they are so pitiful.....its about time they admit failure and just restore classic in 1.31.1 and put in on the launcher as main client. They had no right to rob us from original game

    Hi, DracoL1ch I have a suggestion regarding your DotA map on RGC. In your map, you nerfed PA early game by making her dagger deal less damage. She was already very weak early game and you nerfed her early game more. Why did you make this decision? Please inform me as I love your map. Due to this nerf its impossible to play as PA

    because she has insane potential when babysitted right

    Phantom Assassin honestly isn't weak in early game. Ever tried getting orb of venom or blight stone in early? Combined with the Stiffling Dagger, she can really harass and deal considerable amounts of damage.

    Hey DracoL1ch, the God of WC 3 mapmaking

    Are there any plans to make a DotA 1 7.01 version?

    Kind regards <3
