Description It seems the boys that do all of the amazing work on the incredibly popular [b]Defence of the Ancients[/b] map never take a rest! They are back, and, like always, have not come empty handed...they bring with them the lastest version of their [i]DotA Allstars[/i] masterpiece with some beaucoup changes and fixes!
DotA stands for “Defense of the Ancients”, which a free mod for Warcraft 3: The Frozen Throne. 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.
