GAME INFO

This game plays much like an AOS/DOTA however it is my attempt to completely recreate the series in the highest quality
possible. 

First off, heroes can pick their abilties rather than having them assigned to a particular hero. In this way, with 100 
abilities, there are over 1,000 custom variations of heroes. Besides picking abilities, there are two methods of play 
to have abilities selected at random, or a mode where you must select your enemies abilties. 

Secondly, it is a point based game where heroes can capture towns and enemy army camps. There are four towns on the map
and when heroes capture any of them they recieve a fountain of restoration there, vision of that area and a teleport
back to your castle. If you control either both eastern cities or both western cities, kingdoms recieve a bonus of 5
gold per 5 seconds and a special merchant who sells powerful items.

These two major differences beside a lot of small changes that make the game more solid to play (for example, when a 
hero leaves you can take full control of them and you recieve their gold plus their gold they would have recieved
every 5 seconds, or 4 full shops for upgraded items) will hopefully make this one of the most pleasurable AOS/DOTA
experiences. More specific game info can be found in game in the QUEST menu.

New game types, new heroes, custom sounds skins and possibly new models. So keep updated!
