Auto-Block allowed
No friendly fire
Allow thirdperson
All-talk

Friendly fire
Disallow thirdperson
No all-talk

Server admins can create and name their rulesets, even for each game mode. Server admins can switch rulesets by using command "mp_ruleset" eg. "mp_ruleset Competitive". For instructions on how to create custom rulesets, view the "readme.txt" file in "rulesets" folder located in the game directory. A detailed guide for this feature will be available soon.

Pirates

Skirmisher: A light-footed scallywag who can blow enemies away with his gunpowder-packed keg.
Captain: Brandishes a peg-leg, hook, and an attack parrot, which will seek out enemies and peck them to death!
Sharpshooter: A Spanish sweet-talker who snipes his enemies from a safe distance, or cuts them to pieces with his butter knife.

Vikings

Berserker: A shirtless and battle-crazed warrior capable of mowing enemies down with his dual-wielded weapons and giant axe.
Huscarl: Throwing axes, a two-handed battle axe, and sword/shield combo allow this warrior to take on the toughest enemies.
Gestir: A well-seasoned master of the spear and javelins who has no problem skewering his enemies either up close or from a distance.

Knights

Heavy Knights: Wearing a full suit of armor, this battle tank can cut his foes in half with his great sword.
Archer: There is no match for a skilled archer with a quiver full of arrows. He sometimes reigns fire down upon his enemies.
Man-at-Arms: A Frenchman with a sense of humor. He brandishes a halberd, mace & buckler, and his fart special will leave enemies dazed and confused.

Game Modes

Booty

Booty is a unique version of Capture the Flag. Players fight each other for treasure chests filled with gold and jewels. Bring chests back to your base and hold onto them to win the game.

Territory

Territory is a king of the hill style game mode, where teams fight for territories throughout the map. Hold onto the territories for as long as you can to win the game.

Trinket Wars

Trinket Wars is the caffeinated version of Team Deathmatch. Teams must gain control of their trinkets, and then use the power of their trinket to destroy their enemies.

Last Team Standing

Last Team Standing is exactly what the name suggests - all three teams square off, fighting to the death. The last team alive wins the round.

Objective Push

This game mode can range from a simple break-in and destroy your opponents' bases, to a more advanced sequence of map-specific objectives. The only limit is the mapper's imagination!

Team Deathmatch

Team Deathmatch is a fight for dominance. Teams square off against one another to see who can rack up the most kills. Like the other game modes, you should stick together to achieve victory!
