DotA v6.74c AI 1.3b - English Translations will be made when map is confirmed stable!

KNOWN BUGS: Look for AI stuck @fountain or towers. Also look for duped items in the item builds. If you see a duped item, you have to write "-dbg playerid" to activate the command and save the replay or screenshot for the bugs thread. For example: player 2 gets 2 force staffs, if you see it when it happens just write -dbg 2 in the console and post the screenshot (or the replay when the game finishes) TRANSLATORS: extract and include itemdata.slk from this map. Add the last 2 items from itemfunc.txt and itemstrings.txt in your translated files. Also extract and add abilitydata.slk into your translation. Or wait for my translations!
