How to Host a Game in DotaCash

"Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne" is real-time strategy game that, in addition to the full game, includes a world creator that allows players to create and share their own maps. One of the most popular maps for the game is "Defense of the Ancients," which pits two warring factions against each other in a player-versus-player match. The online game "DotaCash" is a spin-off of the map for "Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne," but it includes a multitude of features that would be impossible to create in the world editor for "Warcraft III."
