It is a team strategy game focused on hero combat. The objective is to destroy the opponents' base using one's own hero along with allied heroes and allied &lt;a title="AI" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AI"&gt;AI&lt;/a&gt;-controlled fighters called "creeps".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;Gameplay&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Defense of the Ancients is a team game, with two opposing sides. Unlike regular Warcraft III games, in which many units are controlled by the player, in DotA, each player must choose a single &lt;a title="Hero (Warcraft)" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hero_(Warcraft)"&gt;hero&lt;/a&gt; - with its own skills, strengths, and weaknesses - and control only this hero in order to achieve victory. The objective for each team is to destroy the opposing teams' main structure (the "Ancient"), thus giving rise to the game name. &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;To reach the Ancient&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;, each hero must defeat waves of units, structures and enemy heroes. Along the way, the player may &lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;upgrade his or her hero, by defeating enemies in combat&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;, thus gaining spendable &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;"experience",&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; and/or by buying items that add to the abilities of their hero.&lt;br /&gt;Heroes can gain up to &lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;25 levels&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt; in the newest and most played versions of DotA. Each hero can learn &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;three "standard" abilities, upgradeable four times each, and a special "ultimate"&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; ability, upgradeable three times with the exception of a small group of select heroes that are able to upgrade their ultimate ability one more time by buying a special item. The heroes are divided into three groups which emphasize one of the three hero attributes: &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;strength, agility, or intelligence&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;Hero Classes&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Heroes can be broken into &lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;distinct classes&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt; or &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;game roles&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;. Although the classes of heroes are not official and exact definitions are debatable, any given hero can be placed into one of these classes. Style of play differs among the classes, and a successful high-level team will usually include at least one representative from each class. &lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;A team's strength derives from picking a combination of heroes that complement one another and give the opportunity for a good synergy of abilities&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;Carry hero. This hero type can &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;propel their team to &lt;span style="font-size:180%;color:#cc0000;"&gt;victory&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;. Carry heroes generally have high damage output, are frequently ranged fighters, and often require expensive items to &lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;maximize their effectiveness&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;. Many carry heroes are characterized by rewarding the high amount of &lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;micromanagement required to get money quickly&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;Support heroes. This hero type fills the roles of disabling opponents, healing friendly heroes, and &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;casting high-damage spells to maximize combinations&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt; and &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;finish off wounded enemies&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;. Most intelligence-based heroes fall in this category, but some strength heroes can also play this role.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;Initiating heroes. This hero type is used to initiate team fights and ambushes. Initiating heroes have skill that will &lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;disable or disrupt a large number of enemies&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;, and generally they have higher survivability than other classes. Some high-level team combinations dispense with this class in favor of an extra support hero.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;In &lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;a typical team-vs-team combat&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;, the initiating heroes will attempt to start the battle favorably, &lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;often with spell that affects several enemies&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;. Support heroes will disable the most powerful opponents. &lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;Carry heroes will engage last&lt;/span&gt; on their team and attack easily killed "&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;soft targets&lt;/span&gt;" or the most dangerous opponent, depending on the team strategy. In unorganized noncompetitive games it is common to see players pick many carry heroes. &lt;/li&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;This is because &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;many players focus on killing heroes&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;, and it is further &lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;motivated by the selfish fact&lt;/span&gt; that there is no way to know &lt;strong&gt;how good your teammates&lt;/strong&gt; are until the game is underway. A&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt; highly skilled player&lt;/span&gt; with a carry hero can turn a game around more easily than with a support or initiating hero, even when hampered by poor teammates.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;DotA Allstars AI versions&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the more recent versions of DotA Allstars, AI versions have been made for the official stable maps. Although normally DotA is meant to be played between human players, Cloud_Str has written AI scripts to allow the computer to play against you. Its purpose was to help human players train and to improve their skills. Recently, more features have been added to allow players to control the actions of the "&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;bots&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;", namely to defend the base when necessary. Bots &lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;play adequately, but their item builds and skill builds&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt; never vary from game to game. Also&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;em&gt; it is not very hard to kill bots&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; since they are not programmed to be able to use complex strategies like teaming up on heroes.&lt;br /&gt;Newer AI versions have been coming out recently. The newer versions provide a better challenge to players as the bots have &lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;better tactics and strategies &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;compared to the older versions. A 1 versus 5 match up would seemingly be impossible to overcome with the latest AI versions. The AI maps provide a good practice for players.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;The latest AI map that is Version 6.38b&lt;/span&gt; and is available at &lt;a class="external text" title="http://www.getdota.com/ai" href="http://www.getdota.com/ai" rel="nofollow"&gt;www.getdota.com/ai&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;New players&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;Among &lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;experienced Dota players&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;, new players are &lt;span style="font-size:180%;color:#cc0000;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;heavily criticized&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt; since their &lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;repeated deaths&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt; give the opposing &lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#ffcc33;"&gt;heroes extra experience and gold&lt;/span&gt;, which can cumulatively lead to a &lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;dramatic &lt;span style="color:#993399;"&gt;advantage&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;. To avoid such difference in skill levels, beginning players should practice with an A.I. map (&lt;a class="external free" title="http://www.getdota.com/ai" href="http://www.getdota.com/ai" rel="nofollow"&gt;http://www.getdota.com/ai&lt;/a&gt;) to familiarize themselves with the &lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#ffcc00;"&gt;mechanics and heroes of the game&lt;/span&gt;. Dummy guides, such as one written by Tichondrius (&lt;a class="external free" title="http://forums.dota-allstars.com/index.php?showtopic=" href="http://forums.dota-allstars.com/index.php?showtopic=34783" rel="nofollow"&gt;http://forums.dota-allstars.com/index.php?showtopic=34783&lt;/a&gt;) and ZeLink &lt;a class="external text" title="http://www.dotaportal.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=" href="http://www.dotaportal.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=7870" rel="nofollow"&gt;The Hitchhikers Guide to DotA&lt;/a&gt;, can also &lt;span style="font-size:180%;color:#000099;"&gt;dramatically speed up the learning process...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;color:#000099;"&gt;Never Fear, everyone starts as a &lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#009900;"&gt;noob&lt;/span&gt; the difference is how you grow to a "&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;PRO&lt;/span&gt;"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#cc0000;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;WELCOME!!!
