In 2001 Warcraft 3 was born, and in the same year DotA for Warcraft 3 was created. The main goal is to defeat the enemy and destroy the castle. 10 players join two teams and fight against each other in 5v5 fights. DotA is a Warcraft 3 custom map, playable in RoC and TFT. IIRC there was a guy called benbird who wrote a step-by-step walkthrough of this map on some HOMM3 forums, and it really illustrated the depths of min. could be, and also how far Chinese players could stretch the bounds of micromanaging the tiniest details. Playing this map first exposed to me to how insane Heroes 3 exploits w.r.t the A.I. To make your search for quality content a bit easier, we at HoMMdb have gathered some of the best (English) maps available for the beloved game and its two.
From here, you can access any hero or town under your control.
