Game Information

DOTA All Stars is a custom map created for Warcraft III. Since it's a custom map, some of the game concepts are very different from the original Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos or The Frozen Throne. The original game and the DOTA custom map, however, do share some similarities such as the usage of modified Warcraft III characters, adaptation of Warcraft III spells such as Healing, as well as items like Boots of Speed.

For the DOTA All-Stars map two bases are set at opposite corners of the map. In each base is situated a central building known as the Ancient, from which the map derives its name. The goal of the game is to destroy the Ancient of the opposing team and to defend one's own ancient. Ancients used each team are commonly The Frozen Throne/World Tree (in the variants Classic, All-Stars); and the normal Town Centers for either side (in the variant Outland). Three lanes join the two bases. A river runs diagonally through the center of the map, perpendicular to the three lanes. Each team has a number of defensive towers in each lane, placed on their side of the river.

The teams consist of up to 5 competitors, each controlling a single hero, and a computer which controls creeps. Standard variants do not support the artificial intelligence for computer controlled heroes.
