Chivalry 2 Patch 2.5.1
Good morrow, knights! Today we are bringing you the first post-launch update, which is live now and available for you to download.
In addition to these patch notes we’re also tracking other issues/bugs that have cropped up post-launch, but here is what is being addressed in 2.5.1.
Map Balance Changes
After the Tenosian Invasion launch on all platforms we were able to make some observations about how our new Team Objective maps were playing out with the community at large.
For both maps we’ve made the beginning half of the maps easier for attackers to progress through, where previously defenders were holding the line too often. We anticipate that this will improve the overall balance of the map and improve the playing experience for both attackers and defenders.
The Razing of Askandir
Stage 1 - Petards now explode 20% faster after being placed, (now 16 seconds, previously 20 seconds) Stage 5 - Fixed an issue where Mason torch pits would take longer to respawn torches than intended
The Breach of Baudwyn
Stage 2 - Reduced catapult health from 2000 HP to 1400 HP - Reduced ballista health from 1000 HP to 700 HP - Masons spawn one second slower (from 10 seconds to 11 seconds) - Tenosians spawn one second faster (from 8 seconds to 7 seconds) Stage 3 - Moved Mason spawners a few meters back
Crash Fixes
- Fixed top 3 of the most frequent crashes including: - Crash when getting the fire arrows achievement - Crash related to horse mounting - Crash that occurred on map load
General Fixes
- Adjusted Beginner Mode player count up to the proper amount (from 22 to 40) - Fixed an issue where Horse movement input keys could not be rebound in Options - Fixed an issue where Masons could fall off their boats during Askandir’s opening cinematic - Fixed an issue where player Masons were visible on boats during Askandir’s opening cinematic - Fixed an issue where skin tones options for head customization went missing - Fixed an issue where armour and helmet selections would change to what was equipped on previously selected classes - Adjusted the “Akkadian Mail Shirt” textures to make the armour set more readable for team identification

Introducing a brand new faction: Tenosia!
The Tenosian Empire is a new faction -- alongside the well-known Agathian and Mason Order -- that will be joining Chivalry 2 in the Tenosian Invasion update on June 12, 2022.
Tenosia has existed as part of the Chivalry lore since Chivalry: Medieval Warfare but has not yet been present in Chivalry 2 - until now. Check out the section below to hear more about where the Tenosians came from, and where they fit in this story.
Who are the Tenosian Empire?
Tenosia is a strange desert land to the south, not far from Agatha, with a hot desert climate, lots of sand, and palm trees. After uniting the continent of Agatha, King Alfonso Argon attempted to conquer Tenosia in a failed crusade that he would not live to see the end of. The Tenosian soldiers were acclimated to the harsh weather and environment, and their lighter armour allowed them to maneuver more easily and cut down the ill-prepared Agathians, whose heavy armour bogged them down while many burned to a crisp in the hot sunlight, with ease.
Much of the capital of Tenosia was turned to ruin thanks to Agatha's failed conquests, but General Malric Terrowin of the Mason Order feared of a Tenosian counter-invasion after the failed Crusade and death of King Argon. He sought out to gather support from the Agathian population which led to him taking over Agatha.
Indirectly, the ensuing war between the Order and the Argon Loyalists has its roots grounded in the hot desert sands of Tenosia.
Now Tenosia strikes at Baudwyn's Bulwark, the longstanding barrier that has held these empires apart and stood unconquered for centuries. Rumours of devastating new technology threaten this ancient stronghold, and if it falls, the lands of Agatha shall burn and weep beneath the vengeance of the Tenosian Empire.
The Tenosian Empire is now a sophisticated and academic culture which had enjoyed a long peace prior to the invasion of the first Crusades. That all changed when war was brought to their shores by the barbarians to the north, and they have spent decades plotting their retaliation. Built mostly on harsh, arid lands, their people have adapted with wondrous engineering, city planning and star gazing that leave their lands prosperous and rich.
New Tenosia Armour Additions
Our Character Art department had their hands full when it came time to designing a whole new look for the Tenosian Empire. From armour to helmets, and shields to horses, everything has been customized for this new faction. Check out some of the concept art as well as final products below to see what you'll be getting your hands on in the Tenosian Invasion content update.
Tenosian Shields
Small, medium, and large shields for Tenosia feature heavy detailing and engraving, and are less heraldry focused in comparison to the Agatha and Mason shields.
Tenosian Horse
Each faction (Agatha, Mason, and Tenosia) have their own horse customization. Today we're showing off the Tenosia horse specifically. Any horse ridden by a Tenosia player will appear as the horse below. Much like how shields work in Chivalry 2, if a player from another faction steals a horse from another faction, the horses appearance will change to the riders faction in order to provide visual clarity on who is riding.
Tenosian Constructibles
Tenosia has its own custom themed constructibles including the barricade and spike trap. Below are some of the concepts that were originally drawn up for these items, as well as some screenshots of the game assets themselves.
Tenosian Light Armour
New to the Tenosians, this update will feature light and heavy armour instead of class-specific armour. Light armour can be used by both the Tenosia Archer and Tenosia Vanguard, while heavy armour can be utilized by both the Tenosia Footman and Tenosia Knight.
Tenosian Heavy Armour
Tenosia Heraldry
The Tenosian Empire is represented by yellow and green, and their faction animal representation is the King Cobra.
Falchion skin - Karabela
One of the new weapon skins featured in the Tenosian Invasion update is the Karabela, with four tiered skins, for the Falchion.
