hi, i'm creating a map like dota (defense of the ancients) and i'm calling it DotCa (defense of the corrupted ancients). I have all ready finished the first version for now and would like you to give me some tips and tricks, now i know that copying a map like dota is a bit risky but it amazes me :goblin_yeah:

coming from the Specific Resources 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.

that should sum up the topic
also haven't we all had enough with DotA? I mean seriously its already been made on warcraft 3, sprouted LoL then re-accessed by making HoN then remade DotA again by making part 2 plus these android/games/apps that resembles AoS coming from DotA

its better to make up a different game than recouping what has already been steady for these years

EDIT: Blizzard also made a game coming from DotA again it is based on SCII its called "Blizzard All-Stars"

and what point am I being rude? I'm explaining the real deal. If you want to pursue your goal then try your luck in the [url='http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/map-development-202/"]Map Development[/url] forums, we'll see how criticism and distinguish of others see this through

Seriously? Just another Dota? Amg, Dota is one of the worst stuff I've ever seen, I also played LoL, I had the same opinion about that too. Dota ruined everything that was left about Warcraft. No, you really should go and make some other type of map. Also, what would make your DotCa so much unique? Lets see, 3 lanes, minions, some heroes probably based on Dota, same layout, same look, same click, click, click, cast, click, click, die, flame, click, click style. AoS maps are done to death, unless its something epic and unique don't upload it.

Sorry for being rude, this must really hurt you, but all these points mentioned are valid and should be taken seriously.
 
Please do not double-post, your 2 posts have been merged.

Anyway, I think the message's been clearly sent: Most people have had enough of dota/AoS maps because they're all largely the same and the amount of AoS's being made is just too damn high.
However, if you're having fun developing it, then don't stop!
Remember, most modders do this for the fun of developing it.

well you can't change the fact that it'll be compared to the successful map icefrog has created. so you should make sure the finished map will satisfy and please the people.

maybe offtopic but original creator of dota is Eul, who refused to work on it after blizzard released TFT, after that Guinsoo made a rip off of the original version, and after he was tired of that(actually, he works for RIOT now) IceFrog took his work and he is in it for now(he doesnt work on in alone tho, he has testers etc)

I know, and I'm working on making it at least close to the rank of dota

I didn't knew

your gonna fail.. it's really hard to make dota

When I began, i found it really hard, (i began on january 2012), now i'm on the 1.02 version and i found that continuing is much easier and i'm seperating a bit from dota

Btw, +rep to all who posted here

If that is your decision then sorry about that...:vw_love: just continue your favorite map :goblin_good_job:

but never forget you can't reach the complicated triggers, AIs, Balancing Units, and others like Dota Maps...
