I always thought medieval theme needs a separate update dedicated. The theme is quite underused for some reason.
And I really hope this project can bring up some attention and work from people. I approve!

There are some models/maps here that are worth looking at, the original page is down now, but the resources and page can still be viewed here:

Hm. Do we really need modelers and mappers and everything now? Because looking at that,I feel kind of depressed atm. xDD

Now I'm confused

Waiiiiit...so I can do any gamemode I want just as long as it's detailed in a medieval theme? Awesome! Another thing to help procrastinate when I should be revising for exams! Hell yeah!

I think some gamemodes might be stupid to add with Medieval... Like,i dunno,Single Stage Payload,or TC,ORSOMETHING.

KoTH and PD sound really fun. PLR might work too. Among other things.

I'm having a shot at arena, I seem to remember matty mentioning something about arena maps need to be more complex and larger so you can loose people in them - medieval should hopefully work out well for that!

 

[Viemärirotta]

PD is basically pass the rum

Hi, Aeix. I think Arena maps should have some complexity in a relatively small space, as it keeps walk distances short but also gives places to hide. I don't like dying quickly - staying alive for a bit longer makes me feel like I am doing well - so I like maps that give me spaces to disappear into temporarily.

Medieval mode strips out a lot of mobility and crowd control abilities so you'll probably want to ensure there aren't any places that are too large and open, or too long to walk around/through. I think an ideal Medieval mode Arena map would be slightly smaller than a normal Arena map, but still have route complexity to break up fighting so each round doesn't feel the same. You want to avoid a situation where each team is funneled to each other and a single massive battle ensues.

I think this project's landing page needs to do more to explain that Medieval-themed maps do not need to be Medieval mode.

 

[JaCuS]

They should be doing medieval restrictions on hats too

 

[RataDeOrdenador]

Eyyyyy....

Our map is just up! (at least Stage 1) right here.

Any updates over here? Anything new,like maps,props,SOMETHING?

I started converting this really old map of mine a few months ago. Unfortunately I won't be able to finish it any time soon. I wish I had more time.

 

[RataDeOrdenador]

Oh we can wait. That a really cool "Medieval Batwater-ISH" map. *-*
