indeed, it's basically DotA with the following differences:
*It is much more polished
*Obviously better graphics/audio
*Internet play doesn't require tons o' mucking about
*Citadel's can be upgraded, providing better creeps and other buffs
*The maps have flags that need to be captured and held to gain more XP/Gold/Creeps etc
*It has a persistant tournament ladder, and persistant items for your char based on wins etc
*I'm not rubbish at it![]()
Plus as it's from Stardock there will be an addon or two shortly
