Panto, i tried out your map for a few minutes. I REALLY like the way you made the abilities to be selectable.
it's in the ball park of what i'm planning, only without the first few skills for dmg upgrade, defense, etc.
i was thinking of something like that, that the skills are selected individually from "shops" or skill distributers, and after those skills that are chosen, get to be leveled up to like, lvl1, lvl2, lvl3, lvl4, and so forth.
If you have played on Azeroth (useast) you would know that a map called EotA or Eve of the Apocalypse has been gaining significant popularity over DotA Allstars. EotA is the DotA killer and has a large fanbase, unofortunatly the map isn't very noobie friendly which is what keeps the noobs away and the experts stay (lookly a little rhyme).
1.08 is the newest version and it is downloadable here, somebody posted it not too long ago.....
DotA Allstars is a wanna be DotA map... DotA Allstars blows some serious *** out of its *****... EotA, DotA (NOT ALLSTARS!!!)Battle For Hoth, (Hey, http://www.clan-otlz.cjb.net/ ) and Twilight Shimarit are the best AOS maps out thus far, DotA is just a wanna be map, don't let anyone tell you different.
it's not a dumb allstar version where no strategy or teamwork is needed. dota on roc has a strong fan base. dota is all about strategy and teamwork.
currently, there is a dota league at www.sw0bes.com/league/ and soon, an official tournament version will be released by Ryude.
it's not the prettiest or the coolest map, but the teamwork/strategy aspect of dota is quite appealing to many. (i'm not talking about allstar noobs. allstar doesn't require teamwork).
