The number of maps found inChivalry 2has almost doubled since the game came out in 2021. There are now a total of 15 maps to choose from, a number that will no doubt increase even more with future updates. But as it’s often the case with these things, some maps are better than others, and this list will rank all of them from the very worst to the very best.

Chivalry 2 doesn’t have private servers just yet, but the game does offer a server browser you can use to play specific maps and modes. ensure to use the server browser whenever you want to play on your favorite maps because, otherwise, you’ll only get random ones.
Desert is a small Team Deathmatch map with very little going for it. The most interesting aspect of battling on this map is the fact that it happens at night, which, to be fair, does give it a pretty unique feel. However, it also makes it hard to see what’s going on.
Desert is a beautiful map but not a very practical one. You’re more likely to hit your teammates than your opponents on a map as dark as this. The map does have a couple of ballistae and supports mounted combat, but those are its only redeeming qualities.
14Courtyard
The Courtyard is a pretty basic map that supports Team Deathmatch, FFA, and Arena modes. Just as its name indicates, it consists of a courtyard and not much else. There are a couple of bridges and some staircases strewed about the map, but all the action takes place around the destructible statues in the center area.
Small maps in Chivalry 2 are generally pretty boring since there are no real tactics or teamwork involved. Courtyard can be fun if you’re looking to bash some skulls for a few minutes, but that’s about all it’s good for. The map does look pretty, though, so at least there’s that.
13The Fighting Pit
Fighting on this map feels a bit like competing in a tournament inMount & Bladeor the Arena inOblivion, although there’s obviously a lot more carnage here. FFA, in particular, is an absolute bloodbath on this map, thanks to all the traps and obstacles scattered everywhere.
The best part about this map is that you can easily kick enemies down a pit or into a bunch of spikes and instantly kill them. There’s just something so satisfying about killing players using the environment, isn’t there? Naturally, it’s not nearly as fun whenyou’re the onewho’s getting impaled. The Fighting Pit is a pretty fun map, but there are many more interesting options out there.
12The Raid On Aberfell
Chivalry 2 always had some comedic overtones, but The Raid on Aberfell is downright hilarious at times, especially if you’re on the side of the attackers. On this map, the attacker team gets to raid the defenders’ farms by stealing their pigs and peasants. And like most other things that can be picked up in Chivalry 2, pigs and peasants can also be thrown.

Throwing a pig at an enemy player is just as amazing as it sounds and easily the main highlight of this map. Aside from that, though, there isn’t anything too exciting going on here. The only other memorable part of The Raid on Aberfell is the Stonehenge-inspired monument found towards the end of the map.
11Tournament Grounds
This is a pretty neat map inspired by medieval jousting tournaments. Strangely enough, the map doesn’t support mounted combat just yet, but that’s probably coming soon. In the meantime, you’re able to duke it out on foot against other players in Team Deathmatch and FFA modes.
Tournament Grounds doesn’t have a lot of unique features that allow it to stand out, but it’s bright, colorful, and you’re able to pull off some great environmental kills on it. It’s also bigger than other arena maps, giving you plenty of room to maneuver.
10The Razing Of Askandir
The Razing of Askandir is one of the four maps introduced alongside the Tenosian Invasion update. This is a beefy Team Objective map that has a lot to offer; however, it takes a while to get going. The first portion, where you have to defend or attack the lighthouse, is an absolute slog, and the bridge fight afterward isn’t all that exciting either.
The Razing of Askanding becomes really fun about halfway through once the fighting reaches the streets, particularly if you’re playing the regular version of the map that allows horses. The no-horse version isn’t bad either, but it’s not nearly as exciting.
9Escape From Falmire
Escape From Falmire is one of the original maps that have been available since the launch of Chivalry 2. Similar to The Razing of Askandir, the maps start off slowly but gradually becomes more interesting as you progress. Arguably the best part is the final section, where you have to either escort or kill the Champion.
Visually, Escape From Falmire is far from being one of the best Chivalry 2 maps. The environment outside the city looks dull and lifeless, while Falmire itself is just your typical, gray, Hollywood-style medieval city.
8The Grand Hippodrome Of Askandir
The Grand Hippodrome of Askandir is a stunning-looking map that blends elements of Ancient Greek and Middle Eastern architecture. This is one of the largest TDA/FFA maps added to Chivalry 2 so far, and its size makes perfect sense since it focuses heavily on mounted combat. It’s a bit of a shame that Chivalry 2 doesn’t have a horse-racing mode because that would have fitted this map like a glove.
The Grand Hippodrome of Askandir is a good map, but the fire traps littered around it do feel a bit annoying and out of place. The same goes for some of the obstacles. It almost feels like devs at Tripwire Interactive were thinking of ways to stop players on horseback from having too much fun while running around the map. The Grand Hippodrome of Askandir would have been much better if it was a horses-only map with no traps and fewer obstacles to slow things down.
7The Battle Of Wardenglade
Whenever you’re picturing two medieval armies charging at each other across a desolate battlefield, you’re probably picturing something that looks a lot like The Battle of Wardenglade. This map is just an open field with few distinguishing features apart from the occasional Pavise, a tree or two, and a couple of barricades. But that’s everything you could wish for on a map like this.

The Battle of Wardenglade perfectly represents what Chivalry 2 is all about – clashing weapons, war cries, limbs flying everything, and the obligatory pre-battle speech that’s, unfortunately, missing from a lot of the other maps. It’s honestly surprising that Chivalry 2 doesn’t feature more maps like this. It definitely should.
6The Battle Of Dark Forest
The Battle of Dark Forest can best be described as a better version of Escape From Falmire. This is another gloomy map, but it feels less washed-out and more atmospheric. The objectives are also overall more interesting, even though the payload portion at the very beginning isn’t particularly exciting.
The main highlight of The Battle of Dark Forest comes near the end when players need to either assassinate or defend the VIP. The final battle takes place in really tight quarters and is very difficult for the attacking force. The defenders don’t have an easy time either since they automatically lose if they fail to protect the VIP.
