Defense of the Ancients ( DOTA)

Defense of the Ancients
(D.O.T.A)


Defense of the ancients is a mod of the original game Warcraft 3 Reign of chaos and The frozen throne. The game is highly action packed and extremely competitive making it one of the most popular online mod games ever.


It was first lunched around 2004. Its scenario was used form the world editor of Warcraft Reign of chaos and was updated after the launch of the expansion pack The Frozen Throne. There were many variation during the launch of the game but Dota Allstar seemed to be the most popular one.
The scenario was has been maintained by many popular authors science the release of the version 6.68.
But the anonymous "Ice frog" got the lead as of 2005 as he had customized the game better than any other authors. And he has been upgrading and modifying the game ever since. The latest running version of Dota is 6.73c. The game is continuously being upgraded giving the gamer new elements and opportunities in the game.  


THE GAME PLAY.


The map is divided by a lake into two sides the sentinels base is on the southeast side and the scourge base is at the northeast side. The has three lanes to each others base. Each lane on both sides has 3 powerful guarding structures which deals heavy damage to units. At the center of the both bases their are ancient called THE WORLD TREE (Sentinels) and SCOURGE THRONE (Scourge)  structure which must be destroyed to win the game. 

The dota map

The game starts with 10 players with two sides 5 players on the side of the Sentinels and the other 5 players are on the side of the scourge. At the start each player is to chose a hero which he will control from a wide variety of  heros. Each hero has his unique powers and attributes and equally balanced.

Dota Heros

After a few moments for the gamers to prepare and occasionally explore The game literally starts with a horn sound. After the horn sounds, less powerful computer controlled units called creeps from both sides will keep coming by groups with a short break to attack the other base. 

Ancients Structures and Creeps

Gamer controlled heros must accompany the creeps to destroy the Guard towers on each lane to get to the other base and obtain victory. Heros are very important to this cause. Heros gain experience if an enemy creep is killed and a little more experience if the creep is killed by hero himself. Hero also gains experience when an enemy hero is killed and more if is killed by him. Heros can move up to level 25 which gives them more attributes and ability to upgrade their core powers. They also gain experience when they kill Powerful Roshan at the middle of the map. Thats all about experience.

Every hero needs gold to buy inventory which can be found in the shops in the base and a special secret shop, give them many attributes for tactical advantage over enemy heros.There are 6 slots for inventories on each hero. There are many items if combined together, becomes a single item (Sometimes they have to buy a recipe for that) 

Dota Inventories

Now how to obtain gold. Heros can gain gold if they can kill a creep himself referred to as the last his. They also get gold when a tower is destroyed and more gold if the tower is destroyed with the heros last hit. The prize of killing a hero is usually 255 gold. When a hero is killed for the first time 200 extra gold is given to the killer hero. But if a hero who has killed many heros in a row (which has a rank like killing spree, Dominating, godlike, holy shit etc) is killed, the killer receives bonus gold for that. Also assisting in hero killing gives the hero gold according to the level of assistance to that kill. Also killing Roshan gives 200 gold to each player of the team and a bonus to the hero that made the last hit.


And so the game starts usually 2 heros on the top and bottom lane and 1 hero on the middle lane. As the game develops many strategical decisions has to be made to break into the other team's base as much as possible. When a hero is killed he is given a re-spawn time according to his level. More level the hero has more his re-spawn time is. And that's the advantage the opponent team seeks. 


As heros grow powerful and battle develops, the first team to break into the opponents base and destroy the ancient wins the game. And thats Defense of the ancients in a nutshell.

Warcraft 3 The Frozen Throne

Warcraft The Frozen Throne

Warcraft The Frozen Throne (TFT) is a real time strategy based computer game developed by blizzard entertainment on July 1, 2003.  It is the official expansion pack of Warcraft Reign of chaos(RoC) which was released on july3, 2002 after the initial storyline of Warcraft 1 and Warcraft 2 much earlier versions of Warcraft.


The game was on top chart number 1 for a long time. It was a blast hit for both mulyplayer and single player gameplay. But it gained most popularity as a multyplayer game almost touching the record of Counter Strike Sourse(CSS). Its popularity as a multiplayer game is still outstanding.


While the Singleplayer continues to reveal the storyline, The multyplayer game play is very simple. The gamer is given a choice of four ancient fiction based races. The Human, the orc, The undead and the Night elves. Initially Players are given resources (Gold and Wood) and workers unique to its race to collect.These resources are used to create fighting units and upgrade their weapons, armors, skills e.t.c. while both the gamers starts with the same amount of resources the victory is decided by who has destroyed the other gamers structures and units completely by constructing a better battle force both with power and strategy. The game can also be over when the other player surrenders and leaves the game voluntarily. 


The game can be played 1 versus 1 or 2 versus 2 (which is called team game) For fun gamers may also play free for all, where every gamer plays for himself and occasionally 3 versus 3 or even 4 versus 4. The game has different maps implying how many players can play on it. 


Thats Warcraft The Frozen Throne Multyplayer in a Nutshell.
