Write that you came for the dots. I (FaiWei) or Miacis will give you "dots" role and open a channel dedicated to the game.
Hi!
Dots (Defence of the Shrines) is a MOBA game like "League of Legends" or "DotA". More precisely - something in the middle and on the left, mechanically.
The game is made in Warcraft 3 and it is a custom map.
Main feature of the map is the presence of Touhou girls and sophisticated gameplay elements.
What is interesting to play a fanmade map from an ancient game?
Characters from Touhou with thematic abilities, often not very balanced, but very spectacular.
Dots is a map with more than a decade of history. On the one hand, this generated a lot of bugs, but on the other hand, there are not many W3 maps with so many nuances and features.
If you are interested in Warcraft maps and do not deny anime themes, you will probably like DotS.
This is a MOBA game (more famous analogues: LoL, DotA, HoN, HotS)
Here is a vid with gameplay, it is from distant 2013. Now much has changed and the map has been translated into English, but you can get a general idea.
Ok, I saw, I want to check it out myself.
Everything is very simple, we have an archived pack with Warcraft3 created specifically for playing DotS (1GB):
http://thdots.ru/attachments/article/111/Warcraft3_DODS_v2020.zip
It has a map, models for the map, Warcraft3 and a local network is configured to easily access the game host.

The instructions are too detailed, sorry, I just want to exclude all possible questions along the way.
1. You open the rar file and throw the folder with the game "Warcraft3_DODS_v2020", where you want to store the game
2. Open Frozen Throne.exe
Warcraft menu opens. There you choose "One player"/"Один игрок"
You are invited to create a new player. Write your nick and press "Create"/"Создать"
3. We must find the map itself, for this we click "Battles"/"Сражения"
inside, map - select it.
1-5 slots - Hakurei players
6 and 12 slots are not for players (for observers)
7-11 slots - Moria players
We set the bots so that it is against whom and with whom, click "Start the game"/"Начать игру".
4. At the start, it offers different modes, click on the top options and a character selection window pops up in front of us:
- write what you came for DotS. I (FaiWei) or Miacis will give you "DotS" role and open a channel dedicated to the game. Server is Russian, fear not, we can write in english.
Usually we play several days in a row/ in time around 7-12 Moscow time on average (from 4pm to 8pm GMT).
The number of players on the host can be viewed at the link:
thdots.ru/index.php
. On the left are available hosts and the number of people on them.
Accessing the game host is simple: Open Frozen Throne.exe ---> "Local Area Network"/"Локальная сеть" ---> TOHO DOTA or TOHO DOTA N2.
