On March 3rd, 2014, Torn Banner Studios announced the Fortification Map Contest— a competition awarding over $25,000 in prize money and a chance to have your map added to Chivalry: Medieval Warfare as official game content. The enthusiastic response from the modding community was inspiring. Over 45 maps were submitted over the course of the contest's three months, with many submissions exceeding expectations of creativity and polish. As a result, Torn Banner Studios has decided to award five winners a cash prize and an official spot in the game rather than the originally planned three.

And the winners are....on the contest page! Go check it out!

All of us at Torn Banner were very impressed with the amount of quality maps that have been created. Although the contest may now be over, we’ve decided to leave it open ended for an indefinite period of time, so as not to let all that hard work, passion, and determination go to waste. From here on out, any Team Objective map that Torn Banner deems worthy of acceptance into the official release of Chivalry will be awarded with $1000. We will be posting the feedback from our judging playtests to help nudge map creators towards a bit more polish and balance in their levels. We will be looking to the community for help in providing feedback for map creators. We will keep the custom map servers to help aid in this effort. We may also consider adding maps that support other game modes in the future.

• Player count displays server max player limit
  
• Spectators show at bottom of scoreboard, both columns (filling in space) with blank background color and no class icon

HUD

• Re-skinned
  
• New health and stamina bars with two states to indicate amount of damage taken
  
• New header that shows on spawn, detailing team progress and objectives, and has a timer in it
  
• “Killed by” pop-up upon dying, shows who killed you, your kills vs. enemy kills, and enemy’s remaining health. This will distinguish Team kills.
  
• Victory/defeat messages properly localized
  
• HUD scales similarly to CDW, but the chat scales at a slower rate and caps out at a higher size
  
• New Rank Up notification
  
• “Use” hand icon switched out
  
• Visually updated VO menus

• Additional audio options exposed (sound channels, …)
  
• There are now HUD scaling and opacity options in the configuration menu
  
• Keybinds reworked somewhat; primary/secondary key lists can no longer go out-of-sync (as there aren’t two separate lists)

• Switched History and Favourites functionality out for Steamworks' API which should improve reliability. It also greatly improves their speed as the game doesn’t have to fetch the entire server list just to get the servers you’re interested in. As well, Favourite servers now show up in the Steam client’s “Servers” window as a result, so that’s something.
