DOTA!!!!!

Defense of the Ancients (DOTA) is a real-time strategic game the Warcraft III:Reign of Chaos and Warcraft III:The Frozen throne and based on the map "Aeon Strife"of Starcraft. In this game the objective of its team is destroy the opponents Ancients,heavily guarded structures at opposing corners of the map.In this game each player has a powerful units known as heroes, and assisted by other heroes and the AI-summoning units known as "creeps".In this strategic game each player must level up their heroes and gain gold to buy equipment that is powerful during the mission.

This game scenario was developed by "World Editor"of Warcraft III:Reign of Chaos, and it was updated upon the release of the Frozen Throne.The current anonymous developer of this game known as "Ice Frog",developing this game since 2005.

In this team play battle, the two opposing team fight each other the Sentinel and the Scourge.Players in the Sentinel team are based at the southwest corner of the map, and those who are Scourge team are based on the northeast corner of the map.Each base is defended by towers and waves of units which guard the main paths leading to their base. In the center of each base is the "Ancient", a building that must be destroyed to win the game.

Each one of the human player controls one Hero, a powerful unit with unique abilities, In this game each player choose one hero in the 104 heroes in the tavern, each with different abilities and tactical advantages over other heroes. In this game it allows five-on-five game or as we say team play and and an additional two slots for referees or observers, often with an equal number of players on each side.This is a team-oriented game, it is hard for one player to carry the team to victory alone.

Because this game play revolves around strengthening individual heroes,  it does not require one to focus on resource management and base-building, unlike most traditional real-time strategy games. Killing neutral creeps or as we say killing-computer controlled units they gain experience points.hen enough experience is accumulated, the player gains a level. Leveling up improves the hero's toughness and the damage it can inflict, and allows players to upgrade their spells or skills. In addition to accumulating experience, players also manage a single resource: gold.This is a combat-oriented money a technique or tactic called "last-hitting",which is when the player attacks a hostile unit when "its hit points are low enough to kill it with one blow". Using gold,players buy items to strengthen their hero and gain abilities;certain items can be combined with recipes to create more powerful items. Buying items will make your hero more powerful and like a killing machine. Item choice also affects play style, as any given item may increase one statistic (for example, attack per minute) while leaving another (damage per attack) unchanged.

Warcraft III is the third title in the Warcraft series of real-time strategy games developed by Blizzard Entertainment. As with Warcraft II, Blizzard included a free "world editor" in the game that allows players to create custom scenarios or "maps" for the game, which can be played online with other players through Battle.net.These custom scenarios can be simple terrain changes, which play like normal Warcraft games, or they can be entirely new game scenarios with custom objectives, units, items, and events, like Defense of the Ancients.

The first version of Defense of the Ancients was released in 2003 by a mapmaker under the alias of Eul who based the map on a previous Starcraft scenario known as "Aeon of Strife".After the release of Warcraft's expansion The Frozen Throne, which added new features to the World Editor, Eul did not update the scenario. Other mapmakers produced spin offs that added new heroes, items, and features.

Because Warcraft III custom games have none of the features designed to improve game quality (matchmaking players based on connection speed, etc.), various programs are used to maintainDefense of the Ancients. External tools ping player's locations, and games can be named to exclude geographic regions.Clans and committees such as TDA maintain their own official list of rules and regulations, and players can be kicked from matches by being placed on "banlists".
