Every time I hop into a TO match, I’m reminded why Chiv is great. Then I close the game, and I forget.

It is funny, I see the flaws more now than before, but it is far outweighed by the overall experience.

I can’t help wondering whether a 50 man small map with pubg type gameplay would be awesome. Find your weapons, loot people you killed for better armor, last knight (or archer ugh) standing. Horses to get to the treasure troves the fastest. Healing items instead of auto heal. Might be pretty unique and fun, 25 minute max game. People love medieval times, and the range of weapons is awesome, plus the ability to win with lesser weapons through skill.

You made a new steam account just because you got a new computer? What? Why?

I went through a few steam accounts to start again in dota, and that was years ago, no idea what my original CMW steam account was, nor do I care.

you just admitted to breaking the rules by smurfing on low-rank servers.

@CATBUG global ban please.

oh no ! spare me !

Well it has been so long since I played CMW. But after getting a little bored of pubg I downloaded it (since new computer, new steam account) since 80% off on steam.

I see the player base is still there, or at least it was easy enough to find a TO server in US East.

And it was so much fun, what a blast, just reminding me of what was so awesome about the game.

• deadly (kind of like a pubg fight, 1-5 hits and you are dead)
• skillful (all about that movement)
• intricate (I jump on that 0-15 rank server, easy wins only due to knowing the mechanics)
• immersive (back into the middle ages)
• lots of weapons and styles of attacks
• team objective (best mode ever made)
• emotes (what you can communicate is great)
• constant action
• different ways play (cowardly archer to defensive knight)

Brings back fond memories. I see TBS is hiring developers, I look forward to their next game, I hope they get back to this kind, not necessarily the same, but I loved this one.

Who knows, I assume they are planning on their next game. CMW was so much fun, hopefully the next one will be even more successful, and I hope they get back to realistic medieval games, that is what attracts people (that and the mechanics), creating a whole new Mirage world was tough to get immersed into with a scrim like format. Anyway I’ll be back when the next came is out, these forums look a little too toxic to follow again lol.

Battle Royale - medieval times… since loving pubg, can you imagine arriving on a map on your horse with 100 other players, scavaging the woods to make a bow, running to the smithy to craft a sword, contesting a castle to loot the armoury, then CMW basic mechanics to kill each other off and be the last one standing. Now that would be sweet.

Thats the problem with the next generation of self entitled kids. They spend $20 of their parents money and complain when they cant have 1000 hours of entertainment value. $20 buys you two fully loaded happy meals.

TBS has always done their best, and they create original games with enormous amount of fun and joy. Sure there are bugs, but this is not EA, this is Steve with a small team building something out of nothing. DW was kinda fun, if not my cup of tea, but if you want updates to CMW, if you want Mirage - money has to come in to the studio.

What Gauntlet said, as usual. Too early, I dont think more feedback will speed up development around the intricate combat. Perhaps sharing the snippets of core code for those people that were familiar with the CMW scripting, idk.

It will be interesting to see what will happen with the whole matchmaking code, that is a lot of work and obviously there are higher priorities at the moment. Emulating a system similar to Dota would be nice, but adjusted for the fact that the games are a much lower commitment, since you wont be playing for up to an hour per game.

6v6 works well due to the map size and the general dynamics of the ranged attacks, if people create non official servers with larger numbers thats fine but bit of a non skilled range spam fest. I was pretty dubious about 6v6 but after playing it for a while it works very well, large numbers dont add anything to the game. I agree some people can carry the game, but its all such fast furious action, rejoining quickly I dont see it as an issue, or need to rage quit because you died.
