When activated, the tower releases several Poison II around the tower.
The poison is deadly, it can hit up to 9.5 hearts!
Weapon, armor and potion shops plays a big part in Minecraft: DOTA.
In Minecraft: Dota, you will need to work as a team to unlock special shops.
Minecraft: Dota has many sweet features!
This map requries NO client mods at all.
However, we suggest basic server mods for team chatting and no block destroying to prevent exploiting.

HOW TO PLAY & FAQ (IMPORTANT - Some original DOTA rules has been altered)
What is the main objective ?
Kill all towers then proceed to destroy the nexus. Just like DOTA/League of Legends, but you have to destroy all towers before nexus is vulnerable. Gather items from dead NPCs and players to buy upgrades to ease your way in.
6 to 10 players PvP map.
Is there any important rules ?
1- Make sure no one enters the opposite team's base before all towers are down. (to prevents players from stealing or spawn camping)
2- Do not break any blocks, not even flowers, grass or torches. (server mod strongly suggested)
How do I start the game?
First of all, install a fresh download of the map and make sure it's the lastest version.
Once in game, you will spawn in the team arrangement room.
Wait for everyone to connect and discuss what should the team be; when it's all setup, just grab ONE cart and head to your chosen base.
IMPORTANT: When everyone is at their respective base, the most important thing is to setup your spawns. Everyone needs to sleep in a bed, in order to do that the host of the game may have to change the time to night. /time set 999999
When it's done, both teams need to lift the levers and a 30s countdown will start (see lanterns), giving you time to get stuff from the bank and maybe buy a stone sword with your, now useless, minecart.
How do I destroy a tower ?
To destroy a tower, you need 2 players. First, one of you must stand on one of the pressure plate beside the tower, doing so will release pistons from the windows, making the tower vulnerable to attacks. Watch out! The towers poisons the player near the tower with elemental damage; I suggest buying Protection enchanted armors and health potions. Without any armor it can hit up to 9.5 hearts.
How to kill a nexus ?
For of all, you need to disable all towers. When it's done you need 2 players to press both pressure plates and a 3rd one to shot it down.
How do I buy items from the shops ?
The currency system is based on items; you get random stuff from dead zombies, skeletons, players and trade them for weapons, armors, food.
Simply throw the required amount of items down in the hole. For prices over 4 items I suggest throwing them down slowly to prevent redstone bugs, 2 secs delay between throws is safe. (The buying system will be made fully automatic if needed in future versions)
Never played DOTA, what are lanes for ?
Has shown below, there are 3 lanes; top, mid, bottom. Each lanes has 2 towers, except the middle lane (unlike original DOTA games). They must be
defended with at least 1 player each, otherwise that lane could be zerged down and could create a potential vulnerability to your team because the less towers/lanes you control = the less items you make and the less efficient your team becomes over time.
The basic plan is to send 2 players top, 2 players bot and 1 middle. For advanced players, I suggest sending one player in the Jungle to farm skeletons, get buffs and be more agressive.
When you are at your furthest (not destroyed) tower , simply farm some creeps by moving in front of your tower. If you get in trouble, remember to call out for help or use the tower defenses. Most importantly, call for MIA (Missing in action) enemies, to prevent other lanes from being ambushed.
How do I unlock special shops ?
Special shops are unlocked your nexus. At around 40 items each unlocks, they can be a tedious task if your team doesn't work as a team. Make sure to have a player assigned to deal with the team's economy.
Economy & Banking
You will die, a lot.
What does it have to do with economy ? Well, it means items are precious and should be banked! Always bank your stuff, that way you keep your enemies from getting load of items if they manage to kill you AND you can come back faster in the game.
Every single items, from rotten flesh to gold, has the same value. They are units that can be traded for weapons, potions, armors and more.
Remember that you can always throw your old stuff to pay your new stuff!
Jungle
The jungle is a dangerous place, leaving you vulnerable to ambushes without any towers protecting you from players. On the other side, you get your own creep, which means more items! Also, you will encounter skeletons, the most wanted creep in Minecraft: DOTA. Skeletons drop arrows, allowing bows with infinity enchant to work (requires 1 arrow) AND skeletons drop bones, which can be used to tames wolves (that can be bought in the armor special shop). Also, you could farm buffs, RED(strength) and BLUE(speed) to help you farm creep faster or simply ambush an enemy. Having a player in the jungle can be very useful for the team to prepare surprise attacks.
To spawn a jungle creep, find buttons - if lanterns are on, it means the spawn is ready.

1m20s buffs

Tips &Tricks
As soon as you get off your cart when the game starts, grab it back and go buy a Stone Sword with it.
Grab armors as soon as possible, they are cheap and very effective!
Remember to grab food!
Because we can trade by dropping items, you could always ask an ally to buy items for you.
The hidden treasure is useful for mob farming.
When you first get back to your base, think about banking some items - in case you die.
Shops items are not expensive, getting back into the game is easy if you do your banking right.
The river is good for ganking but slows you down. Walking on the Lily Pad speed things up!
Bows requires 1 arrow to work, that can be found on the skeletons in the jungle.
When you unlock the armor shop and you want to buy a wolf, make sure you have enough bones.
Wolves can die from towers!
When a tower is destroyed, the creeps and tower defenses go offline and enables the next tower in lane, if there is any.
When the nexus is vulnerable, lanterns will light up.
Health potions are very good.
The first time creep spawns, it takes about 10s of waiting in front of your tower.
If there is no player around the tower, creep will not spawn.

This is our first project with redstone in minecraft. It's a game with a virtual nintento controler and 2 screens. On the left you have your health and the status of the color you collected, on the right you can see the puzzle (map) itself.
It's a complete revamp of our first built (delay was too long for the controller) and the game answer pretty fast. Each device of the game were made separately and rebuilt about four to five time each to make it smaller and faster. Hope you enjoy our game.
Video:
How to play:
When you get to the nintento controller click ''start'' to begin and go to the direction pad. You will be able to control the pixel on the bottom right. The pixel move every 2.5 sec in the last direction you pressed and the delay is 2 sec. By default the pixel go left when you start the game. Collect all the colors to win (blue, green, orange and purple). You have to avoid the black walls. Hitting a wall will send you back to the start position (bottom right). You will also lose 1/3 of your health bar. When you lose all your health point you also lose what you collected. Pressing the reset button will set your health bar full and reset the game at the same time.

Change log 11-10-2011:
-fixed a bug on the display
-fixed a timing on the clock
New project:
We are currently working on a snake and ladder game that support up to 4 players. If you really liked the redstone game give us some feedback. That will help us make more game !!
Behind the scene:
For people who would like to see the redstone behind the game, I added a couple of screenshots. If a lot of people ask for a tutorial on some parts of the map or the entire map I will probably make one.
Legend:
A - 4 bits demultiplexer
B - 8 bits decoder and wall detector
C - 4 bits demultiplexer
D - 8 bits decoder
E - Up and Down controller device
F - Screen with 256 pixels
G - Game over device
H - Left and Right controller device
Sound:
I made the game over theme from a piano tutorial on youtube and the win theme from a .midi file. Sound from wall and gem were made through trial and error.
About us:
Even if we made something really complex in redstone for our first build we have a good background in logic circuit. I have two years experience as a computer engineer and Psycho is a physician and electronic Engineer. It was really fun for us to make this game and we plan to make more in a near future.

Redstone Game BETA release.
We're looking for a beta tester to test a huge Redstone game that can be played with a virtual nintendo controller.
The game reacts to commands with a 1800ms delay and a 0.5 Hz clock, so it shouldnt feel so laggy.
The testing should take about 15-20min maximum, and you may come speak to us on teamspeak if you have questions on the redstone programming of the game. Please reply to the post with 2 or 3 lines explaining why you are the best beta tester for the game!
