What is Defense of the Ancients?

Defense of the Ancients (often referred to as DotA) is a custom scenario for Warcraft III The Frozen Throne based on the "Aeon of Strife" map for Starcraft The objective of the scenario is to destroy the opponents' "Ancient". The two teams' ancients are heavily guarded structures at opposing corners of the map. Players use powerful units known as heroes, and are assisted by allied heroes and AI-controlled fighters called "creeps". As in role-playing-game, players level up their hero and use gold to buy equipment during the mission.

The scenario was developed with the World of Editor of Warcraft III Reign of Chaos , and was updated upon the release of the Warcraft expansion The Frozen Throne. There have been many variations of the original concept; currently, the most popular is DotA Allstars, which has been maintained by several authors during development.

Since its release, Allstars has become a feature at several worldwide tournaments, including Blizzard Entertainment’s BlizzCon and the Asian World Cyber Games, as well as the Cyberathlete Amateur and CyberEvolution leagues; Gamasutra declared that DotA was perhaps the most popular "free, non-supported game mod in the world". The variant is cited as an inspiration for the upcoming video game Demigod

Playing Cloud Strife on Dota-Allstars 6.57b

Cloud Strife is joined the DotA Allstars hero list? Wow, what makes IceFrog change his mind? But no, it's BuffMePlz with his DotA 6.57b AI Incremental Map that include Cloud and several custom heroes on his map. The customization of this new character is not really bad. I think BuffMePlz loves Final Fantasy series.

You can choose a lot of heroes now from the fun tavern. Including characters from Final Fantasy, Starcraft and more.

Final Fantasy on Dota-Allstars

Final Fantasy on Dota-AllstarsCheck the requirement for the items, it's really expensive. I think it deserve to called tier 5 items.
Here is the more details on fun tavern heroes I got from Overflow

1) Final Fantasy (Cloud Strife, Templar, Beowulf's Spellblade, Dragonkin Reis, Cleric)
2) Beowulf (Templar's name refers to an old English heroic poem, also a movie)
3) Star Trek (Ensign Ricky, Terran)
4) Starcraft (Koprulu Sector, Terran)
5) Heroes of Might and Magic (Cleric, Nighon, Erathia, Loynis)
6) Puff the Magic Dragon (an old song, the hero's description is the starting lyrics except for the eating part xD)
7) Boomerwang (possible movie reference)
8) Petey the Penguin
