DOTA-Defence Of The Ancients

Dota is map created by Icefrog for the game Warcraft 3 Frozen Throne . It is a multiplayer game and maximum of 10 players can play at a time. It is a battle between the Sentinel and the Scourge . Both protecting their precious buildings. The World Tree (former) and the Frozen Throne(latter). There are 6+2 defensive towers on both sides. Creeps(soldiers) are spawned on both sides who are the soldiers. There are Heroes on each sides controlled by players. There can be maximum of 5 heroes on each side and minimum of 1 hero on easch side. No of Heroes corresponds to no of Players. They are the ones who decide who wins and who looses the game. There are 94+ heroes in the game a player can select from these 92 heroes.

These Heroes have various abilities Which changes from hero to hero. He can carry six inventories. These Inventories are one of the most important deciding factors of the game. The player has to make inventories by buying items. A correct combination of items will combine to become one inventorie. This items can be purchased by gold. This gold is collected from killing crreps(enemy soldiers) and enemy heroes and destroying enemy buildings. Also one gets a steady income of gold (1 gold per second). One of the main objective of the game is farming... A hero has to kill the creeps to get gold. So he has to learn to get the last hit in the creeps.

THough farming is important. The most important thing in dota is team work and team co ordination. The timing is very important. The landing of the abilities must be spot on.

Also the selection of heroes is also very important. There is always an anti for each hero.(Anti means a hero who can supress this hero). So if a team picks a certain heroes and and if the other team picks thier antis. Then the other team is doomed .

K thats all for the first post.
