On March 3rd, 2014, Torn Banner Studios announced the Fortification Map Contest— a competition awarding over $25,000 in prize money and a chance to have your map added to Chivalry: Medieval Warfare as official game content. The enthusiastic response from the modding community was inspiring. Over 45 maps were submitted over the course of the contest's four months, with many submissions exceeding expectations of creativity and polish. As a result, Torn Banner Studios has decided to award five winners a cash prize and an official spot in the game rather than the originally planned three.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HSKV0B7Eo9khttp://tornbanner.com/contest/First Place:Castle Assault - evilmrfrank $10,000(https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=245150363)Second Place:King's Garden – Miene $5,000(https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=241839409)Third Place:Cove – Nato $2,500(https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=238299932)Fourth Place: Belmez – Hennio $1,500(https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=271294467&searchtext=)Fifth Place:Drunken Bazaar – StrangeTamer $1,250(https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=251905709)All of us at Torn Banner were very impressed with the amount of quality maps that have been created. Although the contest may now be over, we’ve decided to leave it open ended for an indefinite period of time, so as not to let all that hard work, passion, and determination go to waste. From here on out, any Team Objective map that Torn Banner deems worthy of acceptance into the official release of Chivalry will be awarded with $1000. We will be posting the feedback from our judging playtests to help nudge map creators towards a bit more polish and balance in their levels. We will be looking to the community for help in providing feedback for map creators. We will keep the custom map servers to help aid in this effort. We may also consider adding maps that support other game modes in the future.
