Of course, the most amazing thing is the DOTA map. Now DOTA is independent and has launched its own independent client.
Recently, when I watched the live broadcast of some DOTA anchors, I found that they seemed to play another kind? New model? This model is called the evolution island of the pagoda.
The map of this mode was directly said by the author that it was created by Darwin's Evolutionary Island of war3 Map at the initial stage of creation, and the gameplay in it is almost exactly the same as Darwin's Evolutionary Island.
The gameplay is to evolve into different forms by constantly absorbing the energy of other creatures and players. When you reach the highest level, you can dominate the whole island. Players not only compete with each other, but also form a temporary alliance in order to crusade against a powerful player who is about to win, which is random and has certain strategies.
This game is actually quite unfriendly to novices, because at a low level, you can't even beat some wild monsters, or you are killed by the enemy when you fight. Randomness is relatively large, and of course it needs to be operated. Because this game is not officially made, there are still many bugs in the game. However, with more and more people entering, it is estimated that dota2 officials will rearrange the map to fix bugs and add more elements about DOTA2.
And can this game become the next self-propelled chess? I don't think so. First of all, as mentioned above, this game has a poor experience for beginners. I went to Baidu Post Bar to find some players' feelings after playing this mode, and I have no idea how to get started.
Of course, if the government pays more attention to this point, then there will definitely be some tutorials or strategies for novices, and there will also be some anchors to teach you how to play, but don't worry too much.
Secondly, as a casual game, this custom mode still has many operational elements. Even after beginners get started, the time spent on it is not as good as opening a DOTA2.
The third is the audience. I found that most people who are interested in or full of praise for this kind of war3 maps are players who have played this kind of maps before, and others are basically novices. In fact, they are fond of this model.
Therefore, the number of players is still difficult to compare with the original veranda. Even another more popular reset work, "Jungle Hand-to-Hand Fight", now ends in silence and does not drive more players.
To sum up, the prospect of Evolutionary Island is not optimistic. But no one can say for sure what the prospects are. In my opinion, this kind of play is much more playable than self-propelled chess, which may really bring the next explosion.
