As a few, but maybe not all of you may know...
I am part of the Age of Chivalry team (A total conversion medieval HL2 mod, containing everything from forests to sieges)
Basically to sum it up let's quote the release announcement:
"After more than 2 years in development we finally decided to give the public audience a preview of the game. This release it meant as a playtest of our code and the maps, it does not portray the planned full game. Not all features are in this release. This is intentionally by the developers as we want to save something for the next release too. This release it to be considered as a teaser for upcoming releases. Making sure that we are on the right track with our ideas. It will also give us huge feedback on bigger bugs and other problems we need to address."
Of the three maps in this release I have contributed to aoc_westerlyn, with the full help of the rest of the team, this map and the others, as well as everything else in this release has now got its chance to come to life. Another map of mine is waiting around the corner for a future release, stay tuned for news on more Betas/Releases down the track.
Lastly for you who plan on making a map for Age of Chivalry. We will in a short time make an anouncement about a mapping contest together with a SDK for mapping wich will include tutorials and source files of maps with our new entitys. So keep looking for this release if you wanna get going with
