Map Description
Why this design ?

we chose this unique theme for duels to play with the contrast between light and dark tones, then break up the monochrome palette with soft touches of purple and gold. We felt these colours complement each others really well, adding more depth and characters while giving the map a unique and striking atmosphere for duels. These palette was also inspired by the cosmetic galaxy bundle.

the pvp arena itself follows the 50X50 size guideline and feature a carefully designed floor, and all decorative elements outside remain within 100 blocks. The arena is entirely close using barrier blocks.
As someone who is currently on 3 arena leaderboards, I wanted to use my experience and knowledge with this game mode to make it fair and focus to fight, the arena is flat no obstacle will be in the way.
I choose to use bedrocks underneath the arena to prevent players from building downwards / camping / staling or extending fight. Players can still build up with a maximum build height of 12 blocks, keeping building as a part of the gameplay while preventing it from being abused.

Lastly, I’d like to thank my friends @KB4O @DK6V @ Teamgelb92 who helped me bring this project to life. Some of them are also leaderboard players, bringing their own experience and knowledge of the game, while every member contributed their creativity, ideas and effort to make this map something truly unique
A huge thanks to my team for their time and dedication


We hope you enjoy our creation <3

What an incredible map! The light and dark theme combined with the gold and purple accents is stunning. One of my favourite thingsabout the map is the massive sword logo, and it shows that a lot of effort and planning was put into the into this map to ensure that it is competitive and fair while still maintaining its the style. I can defiantly win some battles here .Huge respect to everyone who made Empire you done a great job.

Hello DK6R, KB4O, DK6V and Teamgelb92!

Thank you so much for your Map Submission! This is a really ambitious and innovative concept, great job!

Unfortunately we have decided not to accept your map, some of the feedback we can provide is: we generally stray away from pixel art, it makes maps look kind of outdated, like old minecraft builds. The structures are really interesting but unfortunately because of all the colors and shapes you used it makes the map feel very loud, we feel like these would really distract players, there's a lot going on. For future builds we would encourage you to attempt using softer texturing with more complementary colors that do not clash so much, and give your builds spaces to breathe and vary in shapes.

Thank you once again and we hope to see more from you!
