Defender DotA 4.00

This bundle is marked as useful / simple. Simplicity is bliss, low effort and/or may contain minor bugs.
A DotA map by GriffonDefender; Defender DotA has many heroes and items like in the original DotA, and many new items and heroes as well!

In Defender DotA, if you have never played a DotA style map before, the goal is to break through the lines of towers and force yourself into your enemies' base. Once there, you must destroy their central building (Frozen Throne/World Tree) in order to win. You get one hero, and creeps spawn for each team automatically. Destroying buildings gives the player bonuses depending on what building they destroyed. Killing heroes also grants a great bonus to the killing player. But don't team kill, or something bad might happen...

Current Version: 4.00


4.00: First Public Release!



You can find all the versions that are released at http://griffondefender.weebly.com/defender-dota.html
The Hive Workshop will only get updates of Fully Stable Builds.

This here is the reason I consider myself to be a Mid-Class map designer. Not because of the heavily reject-able Defender War, and Certainly not because of my depressing modelling skills. This here is redemption for The Defender War. I have worked as hard as I can to make sure that this map isn't rejected, but even still, I prepare just in case, a backup... but that will be saved for later. Thanks to Frankster for his Models used in the map! And to everyone downloading, Enjoy!

Orcnet: looks to me Defender DotA is just a simple redo of the infamous DotA, if you would read the rules:
Originality
Resources should be unique. Largely similar resources, such as icons or skins that are hue-adjusted version of each other, simple reskins that don't change the shape of the model, or maps that are effectively clones of each other, such as most LOAP and Footman Wars maps, may be rejected.

Much of the map is different, along with the majority of the items and the heroes. The gameplay is the same, and the idea, but other than that, 90% of it is original. Either way, I doubt you'll ever get to read that, so I might as well work on my final solution... my final chance.

Orcnet. With all due respect, this DotA is quite different from the original. Number one, the map is clearly NOT made by Icefrog. Number 2, there is absolutly no way, at all, that you can unprotect a DotA map. Third, as of these maps, posted on the Hiveworkshop, which CLEARLY state that they are DotA replicas, were not denyed and are almost identical.

GriffonDefender if this disappoints you try to ignore my reactions that you seem to see as 'aggressive'.

Its a cool idea and everyone decides such dota maps with different objectives is sufficient enough to be called gameplay, but its hard to say this is where your road stops and step into another turn

If you do wish to continue, the optional way is too re-WARP the whole DotA idea thing and make up your own[IDEA] type of AoS, there's plenty of tutorials and helpers in this site including myself, so take your time I hope this doesn't discourage your work, more to say, let this be a new step forward.

What's rejected is rejected, unfortunately, and I've already moved forwards. I do feel quite ignorant for not mentioning the /ctf gamemode for a Capture the Flag mode (Which I don't think is in the standard DotA) but it was my error that made that happen. I cannot possibly redeem my ever shattered reputation now; all that is left, is a Final Salvation.

"Our greatest glory is not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall." - confucius
live with these words, very useful if I might say. If your final salvation is to update your map then you made a good job but if giving up quickly then your too far away in achievement

You must remember Griff. Remove what is not yours. And add MORE. You can suceed. I know it.

"There is no banishing chaos, unless you think to slaughter every sentient being in this realm and the next. We are the mirror of your souls, your hearts, your minds. Every nagging doubt, every little lust and guilty thought. Every arrow fired and disease untreated. Your attempts at resistance only serve to strengthen us. But, oh, never stop fighting. That would ruin ALL the fun! - Pheonix

I do appreciate the support from both of you, but I don't feel that, at this point in time, I can change this map sufficiently to make it worthy of an approval. It must be a new map, created from scratch. Not that I exactly mind making new maps from scratch, and this map will be a lot of fun for me even if it is rejected, but eventually, I will come back to this map, and make it so that an appeal is possible.
