Christ.. flame war again..

Games like simcity,rollecoster tycoons and etc are not RTS. They are given a new category which are call simulators game or god games.

back to topic

Dota cant be a RTS since RTS is managing more that one unit in the game.

Err dota is not exactly resources manging also. Since you cant control the flow of cash.

Dota is a action MMORPG to be precise.

Since the game intergrates leveling, abilties ,stats and PVP(player vs player) into 1 game. Minusing all the story telling and quest.

Nowadays genre are not more fixed to merely FPS,RTS, and MMORPG nowadays.

and 1 more thing.. ( dont believe 100% anything from Wikipedia, cos anyone can input those facts.)

its not an mmorpg, cause the map is like 2mb of file.


well. MMORPG in the sense where u have a small party and go out to PVP.

no lar Warcraft III is definitely a combination of RPG and RTS but for Dota it's only RTS because there is no character story of development, cheers  btw the Warcraft I and II is RTS cause they haven't implement the "Hero", heck i play Dota from starting of V5 map to V6 nobody ever touch the topic lol


Dota techincally have a story you know, its aint very depth but what the hay... Each chara also have a background description.
