Zeus - The Lord of Olympia (Kakaboo’s Guide)

Range: 350 | | Move Speed: 290 | Primary: INT
Str: 19 + 1.4 | Agi: 15 + 1.7 | Int: 20 + 2.5
Damage: 41 - 49 | HP: 511 | Mana: 260
HP Regen: 0.82 | Mana Regen: 0.81
Attack Speed: 1.44 (+ 15% IAS) | Armor: 3.1

I wrote this because Zeus is actually one of my favourite heroes, and seeing that everyone had such a bad impression on him, I did a search for the guides on him and only found one really really outdated guide, therefore I decided to write one on him. It may not seem like a guide to some of you, but it contains tips on how to use his skills and my way of playing him. You should, in any case, try not to ks because it is real easy to get kills with him early game. Without KSing, of course.

DotA Allstars 6.57b AI+ 1.52 Revision 01
This is a port of RGB’s AI+ 1.52 (originally written for DotA Allstars 6.48b).

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

Warning: There is no AI for Lifestealer, Invoker, Clockwerk Goblin, Admiral Proudmoore nor Windrunner. They will get items but will neither use nor learn their skills.

KNOWN BUGS
* AI don’t properly react to -nb, -nm and -nt modes.
* Some exploits that should have been fixed are still in the game, just don’t use them. If you really want to cheat against AI, just use -test. Read more… »
