    Empires: Build your army, and destroy others. I'm not even sure this game is possible, but I think it's a good concept. It starts off with each empire, with a creator similar to Factions. However, upon each joining, the player chooses a kit-

    WARRIOR- Gets picked for battles. Full diamond armor, withe iron sword and iron pickaxe.
    SPY- Gamertag never shows, is effected by Speed III. Leather armor, and iron sword. Also equipped with a bow
    DEMOLITIONIST- Equipped with Speed III. Has leather armor, 20 TNT, with a flame bow and redstone objects.
    ALCHEMIST- Has potions of every type, including a brewing stand with bottles and nether warts. Also has chain armor.
    CHAMPION (Cost 3k crystals)- Full iron armor enchanted with Protection II, with a diamond sword with knockback II.

    Now for the actual gameplay. When the Empire leader creates an Empire, he must also choose a successor. This person will become the new leader if the current one dies.

    "Battles"
    Battles happen every 30 minutes, when at least 8 people from at least 2 empires are on. During this, it gives a 5 minute warning broadcast, and picks 2 random warriors from different Empires. After 5 minutes have passed, the 2 will be teleported to an arena, followed by a 10 second countdown. Then these 2 people are released, and they fight. The winning Empire of this gets locations of the other teams base via a coordinates.

    Winning the game.
    When the Empire is created, it teleports that player to a random spot in the world, and creates a DTC like core within 5 blocks of them (obvious to view). The player can also move the core using a command like /core move. This command will basically /cut and /paste at the same time.
    The goal of the game is to defeat other people's core, and slowly rule the server.

    Winning the SERVER
    Yes, this will be possible. It starts with the Empires defeat. Once an Empire is defeated, that leader can't be a leader again. Ever. Slowly the amount of leaders on this server will lower, and thus the amount of empires. So slowly the amount of power an empire has grows, due to its popularity, and when it gets down to only 2 empires, it gets harder. The battles become more valuable, and in the end, one empire shall crumble. The last empire standing wins, and after this the server resets and all Empires are reduced to rubble.

    When an Empire falls-
    When an empire falls or dies, the players in it also get thrown out of the party, and a broadcast is announced: The (%empirename%) has fallen! Also the defeated of the Empire is given all the items the empire had, and ownership of the land.
    Optional: If the core isn't broken, and the Empire is defeated by a Leader's death, another Empire can claim the old Empire's land, and to defeat them, both of the cores must be defeated.

    -----
    Ways to defeat an Empire-
    1- Mine the core
    This is pretty simple. Find their core, destroy it. Boom.
    2- Kill both the leaders
    Once again pretty simple. Kill the first leader, and then his successor.
    3- Disband the Empire.
    This must be done by the Empire leader and his successor. The leader must disband the Empire, and the successor approves. Once this happens, the core is exploded.

    Thanks for reading this, and as I said it's a long shot with a lot of kinks. Post below some so I can improve this!

    UPDATE- Further detail into events.

    Event A- Battles
    Once again, to have a battle occur, there must be 2 empires, with at least 1 hunter from each, and 8 players on total. Before a battle, a message will appear on screen, broadcasting "There is a battle between (player 1 name) and (player 2 name) in 5 minutes!" This will happen every minute, then when the countdown is done, the players are teleported to a custom made arena. Then the two battle it out, and the winner takes home coordinates to where to find the opposing Empires core. This will hopefully speed along the game, and to make it easier for sieges run by maybe Champions or Spies.

    Event B- Purges
    So every week, at a random time, there will be a purge. These purges disable chunk claiming, therefor opening grief and raiding to everyone. These will last a half hour, and can ever occur when nobody is in. The purge will begin with a bright red broadcast sayin "The purge is here!" and once the purge is over, a chat message will say "The purge has ended."

    Much improved from having them as creative RPs. I actually like this idea.. A lot. Like word, this is wild.

    Sounds very unique, although I would change a few things, such as the fact that you can only be leader once. I think anyone can be the leader for as long as they want, as long as they still have their empire. I would also make it so you can change your kit between battles because originally one might not be able to afford a kit, but later on they would. But yeah, sounds like a pretty cool, unheard of idea.

    Well since basically the game is a HUGE round of Destroy the Core, I thought that you could only be the leader once per server takeover. Maybe we can have a 1-2 weeks cool down between being leader. The same applies for being able to switch kits. And also they stay leader of their Empire until they die, or until their empire is destroyed.

    How to win:
    Step 1: Use /core move to move the core either under bedrock, or to the limits of Minecraftia.
    Step 2: Have leaders never come on.
    Step 3: ????
    Step 4: Profit
    Congratulations!
    In these 4 simple steps, you made your empire invincible!
    Enjoy the ban for abusing stuff or something.
    Good day sir.

    1- The core moving would only make the core appear over you. In no way can it appear below. This also fixes the on the edge of the world.

    2- We can install something to where an owner has to be on at least twice a week, for an hour each. If they fail to comply, they will receive a warning notice. If they still yet to comply, they shall no longer be leader.

    3- ???

    4- I honestly don't know what you mean.

    Ima take a wild guess that yours would be iron empire

    Is that even being worked on? Is it similar to this? Or would this be the new concept for conquest?

    I really like this idea, but I don't really get the kits.
    I mean, is it a survival factions world or is it match-based?
    And not to forget, what if a random empire suddenly stumbles upon your base and loots / destroys everything? You could say we could have 'chunks' that are claimable, but then arrives the problem that when you're in a war, your enemies cannot destroy your base :p
    oh and btw Word I would tots be a spy for you

    I want to play this so bad. Make it a thing. Make it a thing. Make it a thing. Make it a thing. Make it a thing.

    I do have to agree with you a bit on this one. I think you should be able to raid other's bases, and if you decide to "declare a war" or something, whoever breaks the core first gets a prize of some sort?? Like maybe you could get some good armor or something.

    And maybe instead of the kits for the battles, why not have different kits that you can get every so often?

    Well, the prize of breaking the core is claiming the enemy base.
    So you basically get 'loot'. That's the raiding part, which can only occur in war.

    The Warrior kit would be the most popular, as it is the only one that can participate in battles (thus giving you chance of a advantage)
    We could have claimable chunks, but the only blocks that can be broken are the ones leading to the core.

    Also, thanks for being a spy 4 me.
    I'd be a warrior or a Champion.

    Updated with the new event idea- The purge

    Another thing we can do, is install a program where you can't build within 20 blocks of the core, if ur on that team, and it has to be above y level 63 (Minecraft sea level)

    Another idea I just had was we could use crystals to change kits. For example a kit change between Spy and Warrior could be 2000 crystals. This would not only be easy for kit changes, but bring popularity to other mini games such as DTC, where you can also earn crystals.
