This is the smallest maps we have and more suited for DM dueling than team CR.

I started with the middle room to have a well defined structure as starting point. Two openings were added to the room to raise the possibility of players facing eachother while heading through. The openings were added opposite of eachother but slightly offset to the side, so that players would actually have to walk into the room before beeing able to shoot towards the other opening. The angle when entering wasn't high enough to cover the other opening behind the horiszon, but I didn't want to move them more to the side, so I added a small wall in the middle that covered each opening from each side.

I started a path going around the walls of the room and made it follow the walls about 2/3 of the way. At one point I made a small turn, preventing a symmetrical look, to help players distinguish between which side of the asteroid they were on. I filled the rest of the asteroid with some lowered and some raised surface and tried to balance the amount of ways one could choose at a crossing. I also avoided too many straight paths since they disappear behind the horizon so quickly anyways with this small radius of the map.

The word agon is often used in litterature referring to a struggle between two people. Since the map was intended as a 1on1 dueling map I found the name pretty suiting.
