Defense of the Ancient which is commonly known as DotA is a custom map made for Warcraft III through Blizzard Map Editor. It was originally authored for Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos which was later unofficial remake for Warcraft 3 expansion pack, Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne (TFT). Today's version of DotA map is the DotA AllStars, currently being maintained by IceFrog and his fellow development team.
Where do I get woods for the recipe item?
My mailbox was recently flooded by this question and I guess its about time to make this part of the fact. The wood shown on certain recipe scroll actually represent nothing! The item will be automatically converted into the item once every parts that is needed for that recipe is placed in the same inventory. Bottom line, woods is not used in DotA AllStars gameplay.
What are Heroes?
Heroes is a unit that were brought under your control in order to accomplish your mission. A hero can be selected when player starts the game through the Hero Tavern that located at the bottom left corner of your base for the Sentinel side and as for the Scourge player, the Tavern is located at the top right corner of your base.
What are the 3 common stats attribute?
They are Strength, Agility and Intelligence just like
how they work for Warcraft III. Each hero will have a primary stats attribute (either one of these 3 attribute). These primary attribute will result in bonus attack points when that particular attribute is raised. Here is the common explanation on what these attribute does.
Strength
Each point increases your total hit point (HP) and the hit point regeneration rate.
Agility
Each point increases your attack speed and armor.
Intelligence
Each point increases your mana point (MP) and mana regeneration rate.
I shall not talk further into the specific enhancement value of what each of these attribute will bring to your hero as these value might change in different version of DotA AllStars map.
Where is the Leragas The Vile (Hidden Shop)?
Leragas The Vile or also known as the Hidden Shop since Defense of The Ancient for Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos was first made. It was placed along the river path with some hidden forest passage that will collapse when someone gets near. Somehow, in DotA AllStars, it was remade and placed on both side of the team's forest.
Where is the Sagarel The Evil (Hidden Shop)?
It is rather hard to explain the location verbally, so I've highlighted the two location of 'Sagarel.
