Isn't Aeon of Strife first? (SC Brood War map) or did it come out after dota 1?
It was Chaos War (SC) -> Hero Arena (WC3) -> Attack on the Light v0.1a (WC3) -> Defense of the Ancients v1.3 (WC3).
Source: I made Chaos War (SC1 Map).
A multi-billion dollar industry hinges on the fact that an eight year old figured out how to make a map trigger which spawned units with an attack-move command in a custom editor in an RTS.
P.S: (I've seen exactly $0 of DOTA "money". It was free and clear, for any and all, a source of happiness with no entry fee except Use Map Settings.)
I really miss that era of warcraft 3 custom games. The old bnet screen gives me a lot of nostalgia.
This is my biggest reason for hating on WoW. After the release wc3 custom games were rather dead
Yea there was some pirate boat game I spent hours on in WC3. I loved that game. Haven't seen anything like it since.
Source: it was me, I was there
Where did Aeon of Strife come into play for the UMS era then?
Yes, it's consistent with what the genre was called before it was shortened to MOBA. "Aeon of Strife Styled Fortress Assault Game Going On Two Sides". A.k.a. ASSremovedS
But we're all forgetting the ultimate game mode, Life of a Peasant.
That's a core memory from out of the depths, thanks for the reminder.
I would say that was a strong influence but there were a lot of custom games with some of the elements of DOTA before it. I think DOTA defined the entire genre and how all the elements work first. Brood War just didn't even have the options to make a real MOBA.
Now I have to Google, but SC is so far before wc3......
Tjhank you for the reminder you re right. And it transferee to wc3 and better
