Is this the best map in chivalry 2?
Best? Probably not but it is my favorite right now but I've been lucky to make it past the bridge pretty frequently
Galen court is the best!
Not even close, allmost none of the latest maps for the updates are good ( the maps when Tenosia faction was introduced are decent, but not as good as the older maps ). This one is just too short, way too claustrophobic, it feels rushed. Yes it looks good, it has some decent chaos but nothing we did not see before done better.
its a good map, but my heart belongs to the og maps i grew up on before galenecourt update
@@Vlad_-_-_ claustrophobic sounds more like a personal opinion, not constructive criticism. Chaotic yes, it is a chaotic map with lots of team damage and choke points, especially at the bridge. Best map so far. Never had this much fun in any map of Chivarly as in Citadel. Just chaos everywhere and lots of action.
is it the best map? No, is the final stage the best final stage in the game? Yes
A lot of.
People are complaining About the first 3 stages.Yes, it is hard, but God damn.the team play is pretty good at least in matches I've played the constant walls of soldiers clashing is just so Satisfying
I've said this since Citadel came out, if the non-heroes had limited respawns and the match more or less ended in a duel it would be a perfect map. Love the atmosphere though
I agree
This would be such a game changer especially since both kings slay everything except eachother. You could really help out your better players by sticking around them
Rudhelm is the best map
i agree!!
3rd'd
Miss Daves smart ass
Great one guys. It is a pretty fun map, and the Goedendag is a lot of fun.
Interesting fact: Goedendag is Dutch for Good Morning. During the war with the French they would say Good Morning and if you answered in French or had an accent, you got a good knock.
Oh God no, its not. Theres a lot of spots that slowdown a ton and the spawns are either a halfway cross the map march (offense) or you jump right into the defensive line (defense)
Other than the fact that it is slated wayyyyy too much towards the Masons (every stage but the first is a real opportunity to stop Agatha, and Malric has 3-4 advantages over Argon), I love this map.
If you could consistently get to the last stage then maybe, i love the aesthetics and overall idea of the map but when the point of it is an epic final clash between the kings and 90% of the time you're getting stopped before then then it just defeats the purpose. Defense spawns seems way too forgiving imo you practically respawn right on the objective especially the statue phase of the map. Just seems like the map should be decided in the last phase where Malric and Argon meet a majority of the time instead of it even being a miracle offense made it there
The new weapon is perfect for me, a baby heavy mace that can actually kill vanguards. Will give a lot of people an actual reason to play engineer.
I been using on footman and it might be op on that too lol straight slaps
I haven't played a map I don't like I did notice lionshire shows up in rotation a lot
I’ve played the map probably around 15-20 times and I have never seen offense win.
Same.
The bridge might be very narrow, but you can walk underneath it and you can walk right through the moat and push into the gate house. That can prevent the defenders from reaching the bridge for a while. Unfortunatly, Agathians rarely take advantage of that so it becomes very difficult to destroy the gate.
It doesnt sound easy tho, you are in the main exit of defense at this point and potentially overextending, it could work with coordination and some good players but sadly not a thing to do every match
Goedendag doesn't kills horse with one hit, it's only deals half hp to horse, but it's good with spikes, first take spikes, place it when rider is gonna driving at you, horse stops at spikes, after you placed spikes, you automatically take goedendag, aim at horse head, special attack and the end life of this horse
P.S. Be careful when doing special attack, you can hit rider(doesn't kills horse) or spikes(doesn't kills horse and you lost spikes)
I wish chiv would add a map vote at the end letting the lobby vote between three options: 2 specific maps and a random map. Pretty annoying if you get stuck in the tenosian maps over and over again. Theyre not bad, but theyre not as polished as the vanilla maps and some others.
I hope tonbammer reviews all their maps and makes slight ballance tweaks before sunsetting the game. All they would need to do to ballance most maps would be to adjust spawn locaitons on specific objectives imo
Map vote be great!
I think argon and malric shoulda 1v1 the last few minutes with everyone spectating, and if the final waves of players starts to become uneven then its easily fixed by killing the rest with 1 shots that way the 2 kings can duke it out. I think it would add a great lvl of intensity where the 2 best players are fighting and it forces them both to perform at their peak for an epic showdown.
I’m of the opinion that Trayan Citadel is better than average, despite its flaws.
Pros:
1. I feel I can have fun playing either attack or defense, even if it’s a bit defender sided. If I have the choice between getting steamrolled playing defense or having a map where it’s a bit defender sided, I know which one I’m gonna pick every time.
2. Cool map look, and good final obj.
Cons:
1. The bridge needs to be a bit bigger, as you guys said here. Honestly, if that obj was fixed the map would feel almost perfectly balanced, for me at least.
2. Some of the uneven terrain seems to make my swings not register even though I can see my longsword go right into their bodies.
Overall, better than most. I’m a happy guy. Biggest turnoff for me playing this game is a map where defense is hell to play on, and everyone and their dog switches to attack as soon as they have the opportunity.
I think certain stages should be balanced in order to get players halfway through the whole map.
If the first two stages slightly favor attackers and the rest of the stages favor defense it's a more thrilling experience for both sides as opposed to getting/delivering a solid spanking 90% of the time in the first stage or second stage imo.
Great map, i think the last objective before the king one is a little too hard to take. I do wish there were more flank routes/ terrain fratures in the push section of the map. It is a little short, but honestly i dont mind that much because the last objective is a lot of fun
The servers have been lagging like crazy the last week or too however and its not just me. I ask the lobby/my friends and they all confirm
I havnt played the map yet but I really like the giant toothpick it’s like pretty good
it slaps
Main question is though who won the war?
Usually in lore attack wins
I'm not into the agathan rebel knight armor but I do appreciate they finally add more variation for the helmets, like open Face and wingless one
That's interesting.
Personally, I love it a lot.
I just wish noobs on my team Would stop thinking im the enemy lmao
@@jonathansmith6723 lol yeah. I just not really like the spikes on the armor. And also black armor feels weird for Agatha, probably would be fitting Mason more
@@cyka7705 I changed The colors of my cloth and that helped a lot. I agree, the spikes aren't the most esthetically pleasing But it fits in with the tone of the last map really well
@@jonathansmith6723 i think the rebel knight have black armor because he was a Mason's knight but switching side after he got taxed quiet a lot 😂
Why would they need to widen the bridge? Isn't the point of a bridge to make it difficult for the attackers to take the castle? Come on. It's awesome as is
Why would the Agatha not use catapults? Isn't the point of catapults to destroy a gate from a distance and not get caught on a bridge or moat? 🤔
I really don't want catapults but your reasoning supports it.
Its a good map and widening the bridge is a decent minor change in favor of balance instead of doing something more extreme or that takes more work from the devs.
in terms of immersion, visuals, and atmosphere, and cinematics, yes.
Really like the new weapon, but accels are the king and it's to slow against new player slash spam :D. Goedendag and The Maul, you can predict the heavies and faints, but the Executioner axe is the one I HATE, when the servers are always lagging, my country is farther from the main server regions, despite the best internet, The Glitch Axe is my bane, it looks so bullshit with ping, the only weapon still gets on my nerves after all this time. Also goddamn I don't miss the new player archer horde, don't even want to touch vanguard now 😅.
Go-Din-Dahg
I just hate how the start is a cutscene and not a true charge. I cannot fathom why they did this. Kills the mood at the start of every match.
No, it is not.
It is heavily defender sided and the objectives leading up to king's fight are boring and repetitive.
Also the extreme lag and rubber banding in all regions is not helping the game rn.
Tornbanner needs to fix their sh*t.
deff needs balancing
Sick of seeing this. You're trying to siege the Mason capitol. It's not supposed to be easy and would arguably be harder than sieiging your average castle because most of their people and resources would be consolidated there. The average castle siege is extremely difficult and defenders will always have the advantage in a siege. Realistically you're supposed to outnumber your foe 3 to 1 to even have a chance at a successful siege but this isn't supposed to be realistic I guess, ignoring that most of the time on the bridge the agathians just rush the ram and gate while ignoring the flanks, if you don't control the flanks then they're going to stomp you as they should. People want time increases but if you breach the gates in a reasonable amount of time then you get 10+ minutes to plant the charges.
@@devonwarnock2625 no need to write huge block of text no one is going to read. You won't change my mind with your petty attempts. The map is broken, the network is broken.
I haven't had the same experience performance Most often has been just fine and if the attacking team doesn't act like a bunch of bots, you can make it to the end almost every time.
@@DraxTheDestroyer don't read if you want, doesn't make my argument any less valid. Network is broken, map not so much. More of a skill issue with your team than anything else.
Crossplay is broken atm, i cant add any of my pc friends and vice versa even after regening codes and waiting for it to pop up. Pretty annoying cause i have a lot of pc friends.
I want a game with chivalry's combat system set in the lord of the rings universe
If we would’ve been able to go in the castle like in Rudhelm it would’ve been peak Chiv
Still good map tho👌🏽
Beginning stage is excellent
It looks the best, it is very far from playing the best.
Was just playing Citadel yesterday.
Very, very rare for the attackers to get past the the second stage and third stages (getting the ram on the bridge to gates and breaking the gates).
That bridge really does need to be wider, makes it single file on wither side of the ram making it very tough to escort the thing from the sides.
Asked the chat and it was agreed at least thise early stages are pretty unbalanced favoring the defenders.
They don't mix up the newer maps enough and when they repeat they also keep players in the same attacker/defender orientation.
So yeah you can play Trayan Citadel for an hour straight, lose on the bridge everytime and reset strictly as an attacker from the start each time unless you want to try to change teams mid game.
It does look gorgeous. Do they still have Galencourt or the other big older maps like the one with ships in port or the one where you destroy the Agathian relics?
I hope they keep all the old ones too for varieties sake but it doesnt seem like it so far.
when's the real champ going to be on the pod
The fact you don’t enter the castle is a travesty 4 stages is junk
No. We all like it because it isn't bad like all the sand and snow maps, but it still doesn't come close to maps like Rudhelm or Lionspire. Too short and too ridiculously hard to win as attack.
Nvidia 4060 struggles on Epic.. bummer
I gotta disagree with the new map being somewhat balanced. I think it is horrifically unbalanced to favor defense. I have played probably 40 matches on it already and have only seen Agatha win 1 time
I won’t argue it!
Visually the map imo is the best, albeit it feels a little short. The chaotic apocalyptic atmosphere and colors considering the "final battle" like setting gives it a perfect buildup for the two faction leaders climactic confrontation.
Balance wise its probably the worst though. I've played this map 15+ times now and not once have I seen a win for agatha. I've gotten Malric twice now and it just feels incredibly easy. Agathians must have a competent Argon but also good coordination with him at all times, and proper teamplay to even stay level with Malric, being careful not to rush too quickly lest Argon is overrun and loses half of his HP by the time he makes it up the stairs, but also due to the laughable timer that forces him to race against the clock, whereas the Masons don't even need to play tactfully to win. Maybe from a meta standpoint the difficulty makes sense given its a staunch defense in the Masons home turf or whatever, but from a gameplay standpoint the map seems incredibly unfair, especially due to the meagre 5 minute timer that argons fighting against.
Citadel is the best map what l ever seen dude l just love it.
I like wardenglade, sad tho its ripped from 64 player mode, 😢
Escape from falmire❤
Just came here to say Escape from Falmire best map by a mile
Thayic stronghold is still the best map
Galencourt is the best
Genuinely all the matches I've played sucked in this map, because of the final stage. Solely depends if your team's king knows how to press anything but W
бро, посмотрел твои хайлаты, ты крут, привет из России
Its among the weakest from the new ones.
None of the newer maps can hold a candle to the old maps, those are so much better paced and more polished. And they last longer too. Honestly even Cokzwell and Darkforest defense seem better.
Not the worst map ever, but too short, you can see it was somewhat rushed.
But this Aragon skin is bruh, l just only can use in FFA it's horible.
