Step 1: I have those, How Do I Install Dota Now?

Coming up with such question simply tell me you're new to Warcraft III: Frozen Throne. DotA AllStars is a Custom Map that are generated through Blizzard's Map Engine known as the Warcraft Map Editor. So basically, in order to play, all you have to do is to place the downloaded w3x map file into the Map folder located from in the root path of where your  Warcraft III: Frozen Throne is installed. The common path for it is as below? Step 2: Lets play!   Start your Warcraft III: Frozen Throne now and proceed as below. Single Player Mode Once you're in Custom Game screen, you'll be able to see  a blank area with aGame Settings scroll list. Look for your DotA AllStars map where you placed in the first step and select it. Choose between either Sentinel or the Scourge team then press start to proceed. Note: Its good for newbies to learn the map with "iseedeadpeople",  test the use of hero, or to buy your way out for your ultimate built  by just setting yourself cash with "greedisgood 1000000"   AI Mode Now get to Custom Game screen, select your DotA AllStars AI map  like how you did for Single Player Mode. There are three difficulties available for most  AI version Easy, Normal, Insane. Now click on any of the available slots in either your team or the opposition  (consider between having a teammate to complete your objective or to have opponent that fight against you). Set their difficulties and simulate further probably for a 5v5 game, having 4 AI on your team and 5 AI on the opposing team.   Multiplayer Mode Are you sure you're all ready for multiplayer game competing against player over the BattleNET from all over the world? Or  even competing in a LAN community? I suggest you not to stage of game unless you have at least understand all the basic of the game, common knowledge and combination of recipe? WHY? Well have you ever played in a team with player you don't know and  after a few round, soon find out that they suck ass?  Yea that's how it feels when you join into one of those Expert Game. Try looking around for basic Strategy Guides and Builds for your favorite character? Master it and start learning your game through experience. Survival is the key of this game, I'll soon explain more on how it can be a disadvantage to your team. Keep yourself alive This is for you if you want to download a new map  : getdota.com
