There are subtle differences between dungeon death matches and battles.
Besides the difference in the costs and rewards for winning and losing parties, there's also the matter of the battlegrounds.
Dungeon battles are quite... customizable, where sides can directly engage in chaotic combat or set up numerous traps for slow exploration, with a variety of bizarre and whimsical styles.
For instance, Red Teeth once faced off against a certain City Lord on a map that endlessly generated floating islands. However, the battle rules were neither about exploring the map nor chaotic combat; instead, both manipulated the same Monster on the floating islands endlessly jumping back and forth, and whoever fell first would lose.
This battle was once voted by the City Lords as the "Annual Most Peaceful Dungeon Battle."
But regardless of the form of battle, it ultimately hinges on a decisive factor — the map.
