Medieval Mode is a game mode added to TF2 during the Australian Christmas event with the December 17, 2010 update.

Gameplay mechanics

• Players drop small medkits instead of weapons upon death.
• Using the Übersaw does not build the Medic's ÜberCharge meter.
• Generally, only non-ranged weapons and items or bows may be used.
• Snipers may set their arrows on fire and have them deal additional fire damage by touching the braziers positioned near the bases.
• Third-person mode can be enabled without sv_cheats by using the command tf_medieval_thirdperson 1.

Allowed weapons

• Anon!
• Hum.
• Good sir!
• Good sire!
• Milady!
• My Liege!
• Guvnor!

Notes

• Server operators can disable this behavior by setting tf_medieval_autorp to 0.
• Text beginning with '!' or '/' is ignored, so that SourceMod commands aren't modified.
• The rules for chat modification are defined in File:Autorp.txt (direct link).
• Unlike most of the text in Team Fortress 2, the chat parser has not been translated into languages other than English.

Previous Changes

December 22, 2010 Patch

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