Heralded well: Chivalry: Medieval Warfare adds character customisation

Chivalry: Medieval Warfare’s latest update adds character customisation so players can change their heraldry, colours, helmets and other parts to help them stand out in the middle of battle. Also detailed below is the list of balance changes, a large portion of which features important balancing for weapons and animations.

Quirky bug fixes of note are… “Fixed peasants spawning with weapons” and “Fixed peasant hats turning into helmets when shot off with arrows”, so they can’t defend themselves when you shoot their hats off for armour, I always knew magic was hidden somewhere in Chivalry: Medieval Warfare.

Content Update 2 changes and bug fixes are as follows…

* Server browser fixes!(Tabs works better, favorites work better, browser now uses the Steamworks library optimally and is less likely to make your router cry, etc)
* Tavern map length reduced to 10 minutes.

* Fixed counterattacks maintaining a parry box and blocking attacks during your counter.
* Fixed movement slow persisting after canceling a bow draw.
