There are already already a lot of DotA maps out. Most of them are really bad. I hope your's become better.

Your map seems really interesting. I hope to play it soon, good luck.


I havent seen any DotA maps on SC yet. Unless you mean those AoS maps.

No. At least on Europe there are tons of DotA maps.

I play Europe for 1 hour each day because of friends. I don't see any of them. If there were, it would probably have spreaded to USEast, West etc.

Yes, that is true. Please, make a awesome map.
btw, i would like to test it

Didn't you see the maps named DotX?

There are tons of DotA maps released, but none of them are even worth playing. I've actually cancelled my "DotA" project before, but I'm starting to work on it again, with more of an AoS type of layout.

Anyways, finish this map, unlike me, and show the world that it's possible to create a good AoS/DotA map on StarCraft.

If anyone can do it, shadow can

Hows the map going?
Post Screen shots ASAP!

I never played those aos maps, can you tell me some info on them?

the map is going pretty well. the terrain is looking pretty good and balanced in my opinion, but the only thing i have trouble is naming the map and units...i'm wondering if i should i just keep the unit names as default for starcraft or come up with wierd names for them. which would you prefer?

Make it stay default.

AoS maps are usually based on three teams, Terran, Protoss and Zerg (usually with different names.) One of the greatest differences from DotA is that you don't have any kind of abilities. There are also a lot more units spawning. You earn money that you upgrade with instead of leveling. I think those are the main differences between DotA and AoS.

In this map, I have just put Protoss/Terran versus Zerg/Terran, so I'm just making it sort of how the Zerg and Protoss are always at war with each other in the starcraft campaign/story. You gain cash from each kill and level.

I redid the units in the first post. I also listed the statistics for them and i'm wondering if it looks balanced to you guys?

the terrain and setup is almost done. I am starting to work more on my triggers, spells, and the towns on both sides.

Interesting Concept of Z/T vs Z/T.

We wouldnt know if it looked balanced until you tested it.

The P/T vs Z/T concept does make sense to me, so it would fit well to make a map like this i think...

I have everything almost done except for the triggers. I also remodified the hero units. so two armies will be clashing with each other in 3 lanes...hopefully it'll be balanced.

Maybe P/T vs Z/IT?

I feel like such a b.net noob by asking, but what are DoTA and AoS games? I've always wondered.

Then, I might be able to comment

DoTA = Defense of the Ancients (WarCraft 3 Game)
AoS = Aeon of Strife (Made by Gunner_4_Ever)

DoTA is based off of AoS in terms of heroes and concept.

Ugh.... so many people try to make dota maps on starcraft, plain and simple: it's NOT going to work, unless your just stealing the dota name and nothing about it is like dota. If your going to try to make one, just use shockos idea and have two units, a ranged and a melee, and make them represent every hero in dota. So there is actually 80 Heros instead of 8, and there spells are all unique like in dota. Otherwise, all this is is an arena map using the DotA name. No real dota items, heros, or names.

well, i am making this more starcraft based than wc3...so it is similar to dota in some ways, but it won't be dota in a way or maybe more of an AoS style(heroes and concepts) as some people said, I don't know because I never played any of those AoS maps.

anyway i am sticking mostly starcraft themed stuff and my own ideas into it.
3 lanes with 2 armies clashing with each other. It'll have leveling,items, and upgradable skills, along with other things as I said above. I can even add in more heroes if i have more room to add them. it'll just be an offensive/defensive, team arena or something, and a little rpg-ish all in one map.

I also named the map, but hope it doesn't sound a bit cheesy.

ADDITION:
phew, been working on this map for quite a bit now. so i think its almost finally going to be done. Only things needed to be done is to add the abilities for the other heroes, add in some items, and adjust the balancing. So far, i am enjoying making this map and i'd say it'll be pretty fun once its finished.
8 heroes, 4 unique skills(skills 1-3 are upgradeable), and 30 levels for each. As said before, this map will be entirely starcraft themed, but just a smaller scale concept of Dota and my own ideas will be in this.

i LOVE how original and creative the map title is

i really hope i don't need to put a sarcasm tag on that statement.
