Dota Classic

Description
This is the recreation of the very first Dota - the eul Version. Before Allstars, before Dota 2, this was it. Experience for yourself how it all started!

Did you know that in the original game, heroes were tied to their faction? That's the reason why dire and radiant look different today, even though they use the same heroes. Did you know that Riki and Techies were derived from the same hero? Did you know that you could send gold to other players and that the Gem of True Sight was originally a dog?!

Find out how the whole Dota craze started!

All the classic mechanics, items and heroes from the Warcraft III eul ROC Dota were painstakingly ported to make the classic game come alive in all its glory.

Experience for yourself the birth of a genre - but this time in HD!

*All classic heroes ported
*All classic spells, items and the old layout!
*All items fully shareable between the players
*Killing a barracks stops the respective production
*Secret river shop
*Morbazan (secret quest)
*The classic vendor-based shop system
*Different lane creeps for each side
*Special exclusive items tied to dire/radiant
*Warcraft 3-like corpse system to make the undead-spells work
*Jungle creeps have the same strength as in the original
*Hero-selection tied to factions
*Gold-transfer between players
*Based on eul ROC Dota 3.76d

Thanks for noticing, it should load now and be playable.

Unable to launch this due to a change in custom UI permissions/file locations:

file://[resources]/layout/custom_game_custom_ui_manifest.xml'. The addon you're running may reference a non existing file

Would love to explore a workaround, even if temporarily defaulting to the Dota 2 UI

I've been looking for this for a while and I'm glad someone took the time to put this together. Awesome job.
