Chivalry: Medieval Warfare Patch 29 (Battle for Balance) / Chivalry: Deadliest Warrior Patch 4 (SDK)

Battle for Balance

This is a balance patch to increase enjoyment in both the Competitive level of play and the Casual level of play. We decided to make a patch that doesn’t drastically change every aspect of combat and see what the effects are with a chance for iteration.

General Balances (Affects all Classes)

Flinch time increased from 0.8 to 0.9 for all 2-handed weapons
All minimum windup speed increased to 0.4

Archer Balances – The Archer class has been slightly reworked **

Archers no longer have an added backstab damage bonus when attacking from behind
Bolts, Arrows and Stones no longer flinch players. Instead they will remove the sprint state from players hit

New

Introducing the New Mason Marauder and Agatha Arbiter Vanguard Skins ($4.99 each)
Each skin come with a new helmet

Changes

Tournament mode added
- Set bTournamentMode=true in _Game.ini under AOC.AOCGame
- or, start the server with ?tournament on the URL
