After watching the replay, i have to say that the strategy used was quite creative. After all, it was done without using any custom heroes,(i believe any strength based chaos dmg custom hero can easily kill eternia), and it was on nightmare difficulty.
Even though skipping the 10 endless waves gave a slight advantage, it definitely could have been done on very easy. The sniper hero had 16k+ dmg. He did have 2 builders for 20 minutes with the bug, but Teal's builder wasn't even building anything most of the time, it kinda cancels each other out lol.
The poster isn't getting as much credit as he deserved imo. All he needs to do now is rinse and repeat the process on very easy without the bugs! Btw, did you end up getting that elemental stone and was it fun to use?
Btw, for anyone who wants to watch the replay in v1.26, here's the warcraft version switcher download:
http://www.dota-util...er-120-121.html
just download 3 things:
- version switcher
- your own version of warcraft 3 (e.g. 1.26)
- warcraft version 1.24e (last one in the 1.24 list)
Unzip the first file, do NOT unzip the 2nd and the 3rd files. Put the 2nd and 3rd file under version switcher's WVS folder, then run wvs.exe. Your warcraft 3 will then be in v1.24. When you want to switch it back, just run wvs.exe again and select v1.26.
