Star Wars (Death Star)

Details

Description

The Death Star was the code name of unspeakably powerful and horrific weapons developed by the Empire. The first Death Star was an immense space station that carried a weapon capable of destroying entire planets. The Death Star was to be an instrument of terror, meant to force rebel worlds into surrender under the threat of destruction.
While the massive station is evidence of the evil nature of the Empire, it was also proof of the Empire's greatest weakness -- the belief that technology and terror were superior to the will of beings fighting for freedom. The Rebel Alliance was able to defeat the Death Star threat, as well as a second battle station constructed after the first's destruction.

DOTA

Mission Statement

    The overall goal for this site is to provide a long term service to the DotA community improve a DotA player's ability to enjoy the game and become more immersed in the DotA world overall.

    I do not currently plan on having any advertisements on the site, so please do not send requests regarding this. Our focus is going to be on the well-being of the game and nourishing the community at large. Ad revenue or maximizing traffic will not be a driving force behind any decisions we make.

    PlayDotA.com will actively promote events and news from many different communities that support DotA. While we want to provide users with a quality experience here, our view is that the more we raise exposure to the positive activities that many leagues, fansites, and organizations are doing the better it is for DotA.

Website Development

    This website is going to be an ongoing effort. The development philosophy here is similiar to that of DotA. Add basic content, get feedback, improve on it, iterate, etc. The primary development goal is to create the needed tools to empower the community to take it further. We would really like your feedback and thoughts on it.

    Stop by the Site Feedback forum and help us improve the website. New features will be frequently added as requested.

Introduction

This part of the site focuses on explaining the details of DotA, things that aren't particularly required to play and succeed in the game but that will give you a bigger perspective of DotA's inner workings.

In Mechanics you can learn many things regarding heroes, units, items, abilities, and more. You can see how some small details affect the flow of the game, and the rules and formulas that explain the outcome of things such as movement, casting, or attacking in game.

Mechanical content is the result of curiosity, theories, and investigation with testing. Its purpose is to provide a solid knowledge base for all the players who are curious about DotA. It also serves to verify and document the Warcraft III engine's and DotA's accumulated information over time.

If you have questions related to Mechanics that are not covered in these pages, you can ask them in the Advanced Mechanics forum.

Enjoy your browsing!
