The game mode is unique in that it does not allow players to use any [[weapons]] of their choice - it restricts them to a set list of allowed weapons, mainly focusing on [[melee]] weapons as well as other medieval-era weapons. Aside from this restriction, the goal of the game mode is the same as that of an [[Control Point (game mode)#Attack/Defend|Attack/Defend Control Point]] game, in that there are a number of [[control point (objective)|control points]] which the attacking team must capture and the defending team must defend.
−
* All [[Melee]] weapons.
 
−
* Scout: [[Bonk! Atomic Punch]], [[Crit-a-Cola]], and [[Mad Milk]]

* Players drop small [[Health#Health Kits|health kits]] and weapons upon [[death]].
 +
** The {{cl|Scout}}'s {{item link|Candy Cane}} melee weapon drops a secondary health kit in addition to the one dropped normally.
 +
* Using the {{item link|Übersaw}} does not build the {{cl|Medic}}'s [[ÜberCharge]] meter.
 +
* Players are restricted to melee weapons, with a set of exceptions based on graphical style and vitality to the class' mechanics.
 +
* [[Cheats#thirdperson|Third-person]] mode can be enabled without use of {{code|[[cheats|sv_cheats]]}} by using the command {{code|tf_medieval_thirdperson 1}}.
 +
** This form of third person is different from others, placing one's crosshair over their shoulder instead of above their head.

−
===General===
 
−
*By default melee weapons have a 12% chance of Critical hits rather than the 2.5% chance of ranged weapons. Be aware of this when using weapons that cannot Crit.
 
−
 
 
−
===Scout===
 
  
−
*Throw [[Mad Milk]] when you see a large gathering of players fighting melee.
+
Medieval Mode is enabled for all maps with a {{code|tf_logic_medieval}} entity and can be enabled for any other map by setting the server variable {{code|tf_medieval}} to {{code|1}}.
−
*Because you can only use melee attacks, using [[Crit-a-Cola]] is very risky.
 
−
*The [[Sandman]]'s ball gives the Scout a ranged attack, albeit a very weak one.
 
−
*Without the presence of [[Sentry Gun]]s, [[Bonk! Atomic Punch]] is limited to distractions and escapes.
 
−
*Without explosives, you can use the [[Candy Cane]] without as much risk of explosive damage, but beware Ullapool Caber-wielding Demomen.
 
−
*The [[Special Delivery]] set grants an additional 25 Health. This gives you 150 Health as opposed to 125 without the set or 110 with the Sandman equipped. Even if you can't select the Shortstop, 150 health is very useful (however you are restricted to Mad Milk and the Holy Mackerel).
 
  
−
===Soldier===
+
Community maps are identified with an italic font.
−
*The [[Buff Banner]] and [[Battalion's Backup]] can be useful in the absence of Übercharges.
+
{{Maps table|Medieval}}
−
*The [[Shovel]] and the [[Pain Train]] are poor melee choices due to the Soldier's slow speed. The [[Equalizer]] should be taken instead.
 
−
*Due to melee attacks registering as bullet damage, the Pain Train is not a good choice at this point in time.
 
  
−
===Pyro===
+
== Strategy ==
 +
{{main|Basic Medieval Mode strategy}}
 +
{{main|Community Medieval Mode strategy}}
  
−
*Due to the lack of buildings and fire, the [[Homewrecker]] and [[Axtinguisher]] are poor choices for Medieval Mode. But if a enemy is set alight by a flaming arrow from a [[Sniper]] on your team, the [[Axtinguisher]] can be a critical aid.
+
== Chat parser ==
−
*The [[Powerjack]]'s and the [[Back Scratcher]]'s higher damage can really come in handy. When using the Powerjack, if you also have the [[Attendant]] and [[Degreaser]] equipped, your speed becomes faster than a Medic. Since melee weapons register as "bullet" damage however, you will be more vulnerable to attack.
+
[[File:Gette it Onne!.png|thumb|right|200px|Promotional logo for the Medieval Mode.]]
−
*The [[Back Scratcher]] is ideal for Medieval Mode, as there are no Mediguns and everyone drops [[Health|medkits]] upon death.
 
  
−
===Demoman===
+
When playing on Medieval maps, an "auto-roleplay" [[w:Parsing|parser]] modifies all text chat between players to look like [[w:Ye olde|Ye Olde English]] by randomly applying the following rules.
  
−
*The Demoman has the most melee weapons of any class, so try out different combinations in Medieval Mode.
+
{{Medieval Mode chat parser}}
−
*Due to the [[Stickybomb Launcher]] being unavailable, use of the [[Chargin' Targe]] is highly recommended.
 
−
*The [[Eyelander]]'s ability to collecting heads, as well as its larger range, can prove to be very useful.
 
−
*The [[Scotsman's Skullcutter]] in combination of the Chargin' Targe can work very well due to its higher damage and chance of random Crits.
 
−
*The [[Ullapool Caber]] is the only weapon capable of causing explosive damage (barring the Soldier's [[Kamikaze]] taunt).
 
−
*The [[Ullapool Caber]] can be used to propel yourself to the top of the castle to deal with any pesky Snipers/Medics.
 
  
−
===Heavy===
+
=== Notes ===
 +
* Server operators can disable this behavior by setting the server variable {{code|tf_medieval_autorp}} to {{code|0}}.
 +
* Text beginning with {{code|!}} or {{code|/}} is ignored to avoid modifying [[SourceMod]] commands.
 +
* The rules for chat modification are defined in the <code>[[Media:Autorp.txt|autorp.txt]]</code> file.
 +
* Unlike most of the text in ''Team Fortress 2'', the chat parser has not been translated into languages other than English.
  
−
*The [[Buffalo Steak Sandvich]] can be used to grant Mini-Crits for your melee weapon. Use this to your advantage in Medieval Mode.
+
== Update history ==
−
*The [[Killing Gloves of Boxing]] can guarantee Crits for 5 seconds after a kill with them.
+
{{Update history|
−
*Use of the [[Gloves of Running Urgently]] is not a good idea, as Medics can't heal you with their Mediguns, and you will deal much less damage.
+
'''{{Patch name|12|17|2010}}''' ({{update link|Australian Christmas}})
−
*Use of the [[Fists of Steel]] is not recommended for Medieval Mode due to their effect of boosting the Heavy's vulnerability to melee weapons, which are widely used in this mode.
+
* Added Medieval Mode to the game.
−
*The default [[Fists]] can be useful in Medieval mode, as they allow you to attack more frequently than the K.G.B., and retain the ability to randomly Crit. The [[Showdown]] taunt can also be used.
 
  
−
===Engineer===
+
'''{{Patch name|12|22|2010}}'''
−
*Without the ability to construct buildings, the [[Jag]] is not recommended.
+
* Medieval Mode's auto-roleplay now ignores text beginning with '!' or '/' (so SourceMod commands aren't modified).
−
*With the [[Southern Hospitality]] the Engineer can Spycheck in the absence of Pyros.
 
−
*The [[Gunslinger]] gives the Engineer a much needed extra 25 health, a guaranteed Crit after completing three punches and a Taunt Kill.
 
  
−
===Medic===
+
'''{{Patch name|2|14|2011}}'''
−
*The Medic works best when equipped with Medieval Set weapons as the Mediguns are disabled.
+
* {{undocumented}} Fixed players getting set bonuses applied on Medieval maps for items that are not allowed in Medieval mode. This is presumably a side-effect of the item_whitelist set bonus fix.
−
*Make sure to memorize the ammo placements as the Medic is the only class besides the Sniper which has a reliable ranged weapon.
 
−
*Due to the inability to Übercharge or Kritz-Charge, use of the [[Vita-Saw]] or [[Übersaw]] is not recommended.
 
−
**You can still use the [[Spinal Tap]] taunt kill while using the [[Übersaw]], however.
 
−
*Taunting with the [[Amputator]] can grant all teammates in the vicinity around you health.
 
−
*Once the central gate is open leading to the final control point, firing arrows through the gate can be an effective strategy, as a successful hit will either damage an enemy or heal a teammate.
 
  
−
===Sniper===
+
'''{{Patch name|5|25|2011}}'''
−
*When on the [[BLU]] team in [[Degroot Keep]], once the gate opens, position yourself in front of the gate and fire arrows toward the capture point and duck to the side out of the gate's line of fire after each shot while reloading. Players will be clustering in the capture point and it will be easy to hit opponents without too much difficulty.
+
* Added Concheror and Fishcake to the list of weapons allowed in Medieval mode.
−
*When on the [[RED]] team in [[Degroot Keep]], once the gate opens, put yourself in a position where you can shoot outwards through the main gate into the battlefield. As most enemies will be rushing in a straight line through the corridor toward you with melee weapons, it will be very easy to hit them as well.
 
−
*Remember that arrows can pass through the holes in the gates and the tower window slits.
 
−
*Snipers that focus on using [[Huntsman]] should use the [[Razorback]] to prevent backstabs by Spies. Snipers that use the bow as purely a ranged weapon (and are willing to get into melee range) should consider equipping the [[Darwin's Danger Shield]] for its health bonus.
 
−
*The [[Bushwacka]] is only useful when teamed up with a [[Buff Banner]] Soldier and can put you at greater risk of fire arrows.
 
−
*While Fire arrows pack a much greater punch then regular ones, they also give away your position to the enemy. Keep that in mind when determining your strategy.
 
  
−
===Spy===
+
'''{{Patch name|6|27|2011}}'''
−
*Stay out of direct melee fights. Instead, backstab enemies when they are distracted in battle.
+
* Added Splendid Screen, Ali Baba's Wee Booties, and Mantreads to the whitelist for Medieval mode.
−
*Without the presence of the [[Flamethrower]], Spies are harder to find. Classes with [[bleeding]] effect weapons can be substitute spycheckers.
 
−
*The best time to stab is when the gate is open and the defending team is focusing their attention on the gate leaving them prone.
 
−
*Avoid Snipers who are wearing the Razorback, you cannot use revolvers in this mode.

Medieval Mode is a game mode added to Team Fortress 2 during the Australian Christmas event with the December 17, 2010 Patch.

The game mode is unique in that it does not allow players to use any weapons of their choice - it restricts them to a set list of allowed weapons, mainly focusing on melee weapons as well as other medieval-era weapons. Aside from this restriction, the goal of the game mode is the same as that of an Attack/Defend Control Point game, in that there are a number of control points which the attacking team must capture and the defending team must defend.

Gameplay mechanics

  • Players drop small health kits and weapons upon death.
    • The Scout's Candy Cane melee weapon drops a secondary health kit in addition to the one dropped normally.
  • Using the Ubersaw does not build the Medic's ÜberCharge meter.
  • Players are restricted to melee weapons, with a set of exceptions based on graphical style and vitality to the class' mechanics.
  • Third-person mode can be enabled without use of sv_cheats by using the command tf_medieval_thirdperson 1.
    • This form of third person is different from others, placing one's crosshair over their shoulder instead of above their head.

Allowed weapons

  • All melee weapons are allowed, but aside from those, players may use the following:

Notes

  • Server operators can disable this behavior by setting the server variable tf_medieval_autorp to 0.
  • Text beginning with ! or / is ignored to avoid modifying SourceMod commands.
  • The rules for chat modification are defined in the autorp.txt file.
  • Unlike most of the text in Team Fortress 2, the chat parser has not been translated into languages other than English.

Update history

December 17, 2010 Patch (Australian Christmas)
  • Added Medieval Mode to the game.

December 22, 2010 Patch

  • Medieval Mode's auto-roleplay now ignores text beginning with '!' or '/' (so SourceMod commands aren't modified).

February 14, 2011 Patch

  • [Undocumented] Fixed players getting set bonuses applied on Medieval maps for items that are not allowed in Medieval mode. This is presumably a side-effect of the item_whitelist set bonus fix.

May 25, 2011 Patch

  • Added Concheror and Fishcake to the list of weapons allowed in Medieval mode.

June 27, 2011 Patch

  • Added Splendid Screen, Ali Baba's Wee Booties, and Mantreads to the whitelist for Medieval mode.

November 7, 2011 Patch

  • [Undocumented] Added Bootlegger to the whitelist for Medieval mode.

March 22, 2012 Patch

  • Updated Cozy Camper to allow it to be used in Medieval Mode.

August 3, 2012 Patch

  • Flying Guillotine is now available in Medieval mode.

January 16, 2013 Patch

  • Added Robo-Sandvich, Festive Sandvich, Festive Buff Banner, and Festive Huntsman to the list of items allowed in Medieval mode.

January 9, 2014 Patch

  • Fixed not being able to use Festive Crusader's Crossbow in Medieval mode.

April 1, 2014 Patch

  • Gunboats are now available in Medieval mode.

April 25, 2016 Patch #2

  • Updated the Quickplay category for Alternative game modes to include Medieval maps.

Bugs

  • If one forces a map change from Medieval Mode with the "map <mapname>" console command, players remain in Medieval Mode after the map changes even if the new map does not have Medieval Mode on by default.
