Chapter: III
Because the game play revolves around strengthening
individual heroes, it does not require one to focus on resource
management and base-building, unlike most traditional realtime strategy games. Killing computer-controlled or neutral
units earns the player experience points; when enough
experience is accumulated, the player gains a level. Leveling
up improves the hero's toughness and the damage they can
inflict, and allows players to upgrade their spells or skills. In
addition to accumulating experience, players also manage a
single resource: gold. The typical resource-gathering of
Warcraft III is replaced by a combat-oriented money system;
in addition to a small periodic income, heroes earn gold by
killing hostile units, base structures, and enemy heroes.[This
has caused emphasis on a technique called "last-hitting,"
which is when the player attacks a hostile unit when "its hit
points are low enough to kill it with one blow". Using gold,
players buy items to strengthen their hero and gain abilities;
certain items can be combined with recipes to create more

DotA offers a variety of game modes, selected by the game

host at the beginning of the match. The game modes dictate
the difficulty of the scenario, as well as whether people can
choose their hero or are assigned one randomly. Many game
modes can be combined, allowing more flexible options.
