Isn't Aeon of Strife first? (SC Brood War map) or did it come out after dota 1?

It was Chaos War (SC) -> Hero Arena (WC3) -> Attack on the Light v0.1a (WC3) -> Defense of the Ancients v1.3 (WC3).

Source: I made Chaos War (SC1 Map).

A multi-billion dollar industry hinges on the fact that an eight year old figured out how to make a map trigger which spawned units with an attack-move command in a custom editor in an RTS.

P.S: (I've seen exactly $0 of DOTA "money". It was free and clear, for any and all, a source of happiness with no entry fee except Use Map Settings.)

I really miss that era of warcraft 3 custom games. The old bnet screen gives me a lot of nostalgia.

This is my biggest reason for hating on WoW. After the release wc3 custom games were rather dead

Yea there was some pirate boat game I spent hours on in WC3. I loved that game. Haven't seen anything like it since.
