Description Version 6.43 was up and replaced with the current version, v6.43b; Most of the changes have been applied to v6.43, with v6.43b containing a couple fixes.
Here we have the latest and greatest release for all of the DoTA fans! Once again, improvements have been made to the incredibly popular 'DoTA Allstars' map, and we have it here, available to you! This version comes complete with a serious optimization and some bug fixes.
DotA stands for [b]“Defense of the Ancients”[/b], it's a free mod for [i]Warcraft 3: The Frozen Throne[/i]. The purpose of the game is to defend your Ancient and try to destroy the opponents Ancient. The ancients are located deep in both bases, which are located at the top right and bottom left corners of the map. There are over 70 heroes that differ greatly in play style. Each of these heroes have been carefully designed so they are both balanced and unique.
This map is updated frequently, sometimes to add new heroes, fix bugs or to make a balance update. The strategies possible with DotA are pretty much endless, choosing the wrong item and hero combination can mean the difference between a win and a loss for your team. The gameplay in DotA Allstars can be classified as relatively fast because as the game progresses any small mistake you make can be fatal to the overall team.
