    A map like Dota? is that possible? Yes it is. And i am in the process of building it. Note: this will not be EXACTLY like dota but it is an assault gametype that is based off of the warcraft 3 map. i am currently working on class balancing and other flaws in the map although it is almost finished.

    Seriously, this is not spam. But I really want to know what Dota is.

    i really dont know how to explain it simpily but here is the wikipedia definition:
    Defense of the Ancients (commonly known as DotA) is a custom scenario for the real-time strategy video game Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos and its expansion, Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne, The objective of the scenario is for each team to destroy the opponents' Ancients, heavily guarded structures at opposing corners of the map. Players use powerful units known as heroes, and are assisted by allied heroes and AI-controlled fighters called "creeps". As in role-playing games, players level up their heroes and use gold to buy equipment during the mission

    Now of course there will be alot of things different but the concept is the same.

    Hmm. Yeah although I have never once touched a WoW, I would like to say that I am actually interested in this. Now my question is, is this just based off DotA, or a remake?

    It is a remake. but due to halo 3s mechanics, an exact remake was not possible. Although with the 10 different classes and a few items (equipment) at your disposal its very close to dota which plays like you think it would in halo 3

    I am a friend of ThePsycoOne and i have tested this map out.
    We have done a lot of 10+ player lobbies and it is very enjoyable for everyone.
    When he told me he was making a remake of DotA i didn't think it was possible. But i was pleasantly surprised.

    Sorry but this looks insanely suspicious. Your first post on this forum is to praise this guys map?

    Anyway, could you explain how this works. I cant work out how your going to create a remake/based off map from RTS!

    Un answered soul is not me but i know him and yes he made an account to keep posted on what i do on forgehub.

    anyways onto the question. while the game warcraft 3 is an rts the game dota was made in the editor. in dota you only command 1 character and you level up as the game goes on. more will be explained as i get the map posted which will hopefully be soon.
