The fights take place over incredibly detailed sprawling outdoor landscapes that push the boundaries of the source engine to recreate harsh medieval battle fields, epic castle sieges and violent, merciless death that will send shivers down your spine in excitement. Age of Chivalry is a ton of fun for 5 minutes or 5 hours at a time, give it a try and we promise that you’ll be impressed by the level of detail and depth that can be found in-game.

Engage against up to 32 players online in whirlwinds of steel and flurries of arrows, in the Age of Chivalry no man can rely on automatic weaponry, but instead must use his own strength, his own speed and his own bravery to overcome his foe. Solider, your glory awaits you on the battlefield!

A brief feature list for this patch update:

- Heavy optimization of all departments, improved FPS and reduced network load
- Aoc_options menu now has field for players to set their rate, recommend 25,000-35,000
- Redesigned the shield and parry blocking detection
- When stamina hits 0% players now become exhausted and incur a 1 second stamina recharge pause penalty (helps curb shield turtling, spamming)
- Hundreds of bugfixes
- Adjusted brightness of many maps
- Visually reworked aoc_stonehill and aoc_galadan
- Many balance adjustments

This patch was a long time coming and while it doesn't bring any huge gameplay changing elements to the game what it does bring is improved performance that should hopefully let us see some players with weaker systems back in game!
