Age of Chivalry is a multiplayer video game, created as a total conversion modification for the Valve Corporation's Half-Life 2 using the proprietary Source engine. Founded by Rikard Lindgren and Scott Chipman and developed by third-party developer Team Chivalry, the game consists of a medieval theme and aims to provide enjoyable close-combat battles.[1]

Gameplay

Players select to play on either the Agatha Knights or the Mason Order, the two factions competing to rule the fictional kingdom that is the game's setting. Most maps have several objectives; completing one leads to the next until the final objective has been completed or the defending team is able to prevent the other team from completing theirs during the allotted time. Objectives varies from taking a strategical point to killing villagers, and includes many siege-oriented ones like ramming down the main door of a castle, and constructing bridges. Age of Chivalry plans to use a dynamic campaign, in which each scenario affects which map will be used in the next chapter.[1]

Factions

There are two playable factions in Age of Chivalry, the Agathia Knights and the Mason Order.

Classes

There are nine classes: Longbowman, Crossbowman, Javelineer, Man-At-Arms, Sergeant, Guardsman, Crusader, Knight and Heavy Knights. Each class has different weapons, walking speed and armour.

Reception

PC Gamer highlighted the mod's large maps, describing the mountainous stretches as "tactics-encouraging" and overall should "encourage improvisation in team play."[1]

Sequel

A sequel was made by Torn Banner Studios by the name of Chivalry: Medieval Warfare as their first commercial game.[3] It was released on October 16, 2012 via Steam.[4]
