The latest DotA AI map after the one named “Nightmare” is “Hope”, the 6.74c AI, 1.3 version. The map was developed by Pleasebugmenot with help from Cloud_str and the AI developing and testing team.
What is important is that the map runs on the official 6.74c DotA map engine and that is including everything added in 6.74c by Icefrog.
Important changes.
They have added AI for the new heroes: Dragonus (Skywrath Mage), Rizzrak (Goblin Shredder), Xin (Ember Spirit) and the forth one, Tresdin (Legion Commander).
AI heroes will now pick more varied items. Animation was added when selling items. Overall, bug fixes, the complete list is available on the official dota forums, the AI section.

The map has 7.4 megabytes, use Unzip or WinRar to extract the file inside the Warcraft 3: The Frozen Throne “maps/downloads” folder.
The map is still 5v5 like the normal DotA, selecting the difficulty for the AI before starting the game will not count, the AI is the same for all options.
This is the English version of the map, there is no news if other version with different languages will be added in the near future.
