Battle of Empires is mainly a PvP map which has CTP and exploration elements. There are 2 teams who have their own castle: Greens and Oranges.

The main goal is to destroy the enemy’s castle once its towers are down. There’s many subtleties, which are explained in game.

By capturing points, killing enemies, achieving dungeons, discovering secrets, you will improve over time and it will lead you towards the victory!

Thanks to the gold nuggets that you will collect, miners from your base will trade minerals for them. With those, you can buy weapons, armors, items, and potions to help you effectively.

When the services in your castle (Shop, Bread Baker, Market...) are advisely used by your team, fights will be easier and the victory will be close.

The map uses most of the news Minecraft 1.8 mechanics : dataTags, /clone, /particle, /title, /summon, new blocks, mobs, and a lot more.

Many dungeons, bosses and secrets to discover.
Custom trading NPCs.
Custom mobs.
Custom sounds and musics with the included ressource pack.
Simple but effective CTP system.
Pets system.
Random chests throughout the map.
Achievements system, which unlock upgrades (jump, speed, power...).
All of this in Vanilla! And a lot more, powered by over 1500 command blocks!

A guide is distributed to all the players when they joins the server.

To play Battle of Empires with friends, a pre-made server is available. The only thing you have to do is to launch it!

If you don’t play on a local server, you have to read the README.txt file

A custom ressource pack is included. It’s highly recommanded to use it. It will be automatically downloaded and applied to all clients if the installation process is correctly respected

Battle of Empires dooes't need any plugins or mods. Before playing, running on a Vanilla server is advised.

This map was (almost) made without external softwares. Some elements (like mountains or the big screen in the spawn) were made by softwares like MCEdit. Everything else is handmade!
