Team Objective Maps

Conquer Chivalry 2's Team Objective maps. Master strategies for attackers and defenders on stages like Lionspire and Castle Aldencroft to secure victory.

Team Objective maps in Chivalry 2 are the heart of the game's large-scale combat, offering multi-stage narratives where one team attacks and the other defends. Success hinges on understanding each stage's specific objectives, utilizing the environment, and coordinating with your team. This guide will break down common strategies and actionable steps to turn the tide of battle.

General Strategies for Attackers

• Push the Objective Relentlessly: Your primary goal is always the objective. Don't get sidetracked by individual duels far from the action.
• Utilize Siege Equipment: Catapults, Ballistas, and Siege Towers are often provided. Learn their locations and how to operate them effectively to breach defenses or clear enemy strongholds.
• Flank and Divide: Look for alternative routes to bypass choke points. A well-timed flank can draw defenders away from the main push.
• Manage Spawns: Be aware of your team's spawn points. If you're pushing deep, try to secure forward spawns if available to maintain pressure.
• Focus Fire on Key Targets: Prioritize enemies operating siege weapons, archers on walls, or high-value targets like VIPs.

General Strategies for Defenders

• Hold Choke Points: Identify natural bottlenecks and funnel the enemy into kill zones.
• Utilize Environmental Hazards: Look for opportunities to drop gates, trigger traps, or use ballistas to thin out advancing waves.
• Protect Siege Equipment (if applicable): If you have defensive siege weapons, ensure they are manned and protected from enemy saboteurs.
• Counter-Attack Effectively: Don't just sit back. When the enemy is weakened or disorganized, launch coordinated counter-charges to push them back and relieve pressure.
• Guard Objectives: Always have a presence on the objective, even if it's just a few players. Delaying the enemy can buy crucial time.

Common Objective Types & Specific Tactics

1. Push the Siege Ram/Cart

This objective requires attackers to push a large siege engine (like a ram or a cart laden with explosives) to a designated target. Defenders must prevent its advance.

• Attackers:
  • Stay on the Objective: The ram/cart only moves when attackers are near it. Prioritize staying within its activation zone.
  • Clear the Path: Focus on eliminating defenders directly in front of the ram. Use area-of-effect attacks or heavy weapons to clear groups.
  • Protect the Pushers: Other teammates should protect those actively pushing the objective from flanking attacks or archer fire.
  • Utilize Cover: The ram itself often provides some cover from projectiles.
• Defenders:
  • Focus on the Ram/Cart: Your primary goal is to stop its movement. Engage attackers directly on the objective.
  • Use Explosives/Fire: Many maps provide oil pots or other incendiary devices. Throw these onto the ram to damage attackers and deter their push.
  • Flank and Harass: Attack the pushers from the sides or rear to disrupt their formation.
  • Archer Suppression: Archers should focus fire on the most concentrated groups of attackers on the ram.

2. Destroy/Capture Key Structures

Attackers must destroy gates, walls, or specific structures, while defenders must protect them.

• Attackers:
  • Focus Damage: Concentrate all available damage on the objective. Heavy weapons and siege equipment are invaluable here.
  • Clear Defenders: Before committing to damaging the objective, clear out any immediate defenders to ensure your safety.
  • Use Explosives: If explosive barrels or satchels are available, grab them and deploy them on the objective for massive damage.
  • Siege Equipment: Man any available catapults or ballistas to bombard the objective from a distance.
• Defenders:
  • Repair (if applicable): Some objectives can be repaired. If so, have engineers or other classes with repair tools actively mend the structure.
  • Engage Attackers Directly: Prevent attackers from getting close enough to damage the objective.
  • Guard Flanks: Be aware of alternative routes attackers might use to bypass your defenses and reach the objective.
  • Counter-Siege: If attackers are using siege equipment, prioritize destroying it or eliminating its operators.

3. Assassinate the VIP/Kill the Duke

A single, powerful player (the VIP/Duke) is designated as the target. Attackers must kill them, and defenders must protect them until a timer runs out.

• Attackers:
  • Coordinate the Assault: The VIP is often heavily armored and has powerful abilities. Focus fire and try to isolate them.
  • Clear Bodyguards: Eliminate the defenders protecting the VIP first to create an opening.
  • Utilize Crowd Control: Stuns, staggers, and knockdowns can be crucial for creating windows of opportunity to damage the VIP.
  • Don't Overcommit: If the VIP is too well-defended, pull back, regroup, and try a different approach or wait for an opening.
• Defenders:
  • Stick with the VIP: Your primary role is to act as a human shield and engage any attackers targeting the VIP.
  • Heal and Support: If you have healing abilities (e.g., Man-at-Arms with a bandage kit), prioritize keeping the VIP alive.
  • Control the Area: Keep attackers away from the VIP by pushing them back and holding choke points.
  • Communicate: The VIP should communicate their position and any immediate threats to their bodyguards.

4. Capture and Hold Points

Attackers must capture and maintain control of specific zones for a set amount of time. Defenders must contest these zones.

• Attackers:
  • Overwhelm the Zone: You need more attackers than defenders within the capture zone to progress. Push in force.
  • Secure the Perimeter: Once inside, clear out defenders and then establish a defensive perimeter around the zone to prevent re-entry.
  • Utilize Cover: Use structures or terrain within the zone for protection while capturing.
  • Multiple Fronts: If there are multiple capture points, try to split your forces to capture them simultaneously or in quick succession.
• Defenders:
  • Contest the Zone: Always have at least one defender inside the capture zone to stop the attacker's progress.
  • Push Back: Don't let attackers consolidate their hold. Launch aggressive counter-attacks to clear the zone.
  • Flank and Disrupt: Attackers will often be focused on the center of the zone. Use flanking routes to hit them from unexpected angles.
  • Reinforce: If a zone is being lost, quickly reinforce it with more players.
