let's be honest, chiv 1 was an awesome game. the devs themselves had no idea what they'd created.

all the combat techniques had to be discovered, and were an emergent phenomena of the core underlying movement mechanics.

with mordhau a lot of that magic was lost, in a way because there wasn't much to discover. the mechanics were actually much more rigid compared to chiv 1...

...which is exactly what the community had asked for, and why as a game dev you must *never* take your players' suggestions at face value.
