==Trivia== [[File:Dorado2.jpg|thumb|One of the Dorado power plants]] * The map's name means "Golden" in Spanish. It also might be named after the Dorado constellation. **The namesake could also be a reference to El Dorado, a mythical Aztec city that was entirely made of gold. The nearby LumériCo building is even based off an Aztec pyramid. *During development, the Overwatch team had difficulty finding the right visual references for Dorado, leading them to eventually look for "colorful mexican towns" on google images. In doing so, they managed to find a photograph that helped solidify Dorado's aesthetic, though the developers later discovered that their visual reference was actually of a town in Italy called Manarola.<ref>2017-02-22, [https://www.twitch.tv/videos/123951197 D.I.C.E Summit 2017 - IGN Live]. ''Twitch'', accessed on 2017-02-22</ref> *The attacking team's starting area contains a range of large metal bells, which can be shot at to produce different musical notes. Creative players can produce simple melodies in this way. **It is possible to play the Overwatch main theme on these bells. ***When done successfully with [[Wrecking Ball]], he will squeak the tune. **It is also possible to produce the main theme of the show "Futurama". *The streets of Dorado are festooned with numerous decorations, including destructible piñatas and guitars. Some of these piñatas depict the heads of characters from other Blizzard games, such as the eponymous [http://diablo.gamepedia.com/Diablo Diablo]. The map itself depicts the city's Omnic Crisis celebration. *The ''[[Hero]]'' short takes place on a modified version of Dorado. *Around the start of the map, near the first point, there is a statue featuring four plaques. The plaques read: **'En honor a los caídos durante la oscuridad' (''Rough'' ''Translation:'' 'In honour of the fallen during the darkness') **'Hasta la noche más oscura cede ante el amanecer' (''Rough'' ''Translation:'' 'Even the darkest night gives way before dawn') **'Que renazcan en la luz' (''Rough Translation:'' 'May they be reborn in the light') **'Y que jamás sean olvidados' (''Rough Translation:'' 'And never be forgotten') {{Clear}}
