Title: Make horses take a weapon slot
Post by: Rumblood on May 07, 2011, 11:12:02 pm
As it says. Horses are weapons that do damage. When they are gone, the player still lives. Just like unsheathable weapons are now.

Make horses take up a single weapon slot. Other classes are already forced to make choices between weapons they used to be able to use. Pure archers must hunt down a dropped weapon in order to melee.  Do this and no other changes need to be made to cavalry.

Haha, very funny indeed. Next thing you are gonna say is: let Heavy Armour take weapon slots.

My lance now takes up 2 slots, which means I can only take a shield and a bad polearm, like the quarterstaff. Which means I'm pretty much fucked when dismounted.

The only thing wrong with cavalry atm, is the low amount of usage on armoured horses and the overpoweredness of the Arabian Warhorse. We already pay at least double the amount of what you pay to simply ride a light cheap horse, not to mention the costs on better ones.

If you get dismounted, loot a weapon just like the rest of the classes that can no longer carry their armory.

But hey, there are a number of compromises that can be made. As I stated, make this change and keep the Arabian JetPony, keep your 360 degree swivel. Keep it all.

I even support your desire for more armored horses, just bring back piercing to bows.

To the original post:

I am a pure archer. I use a Warbow, Two Bodkins, and a Hammer. I consider my self adequate for hunting any horse, though Plated Chargers may take an additional experienced archer, or two, to bring it down in a reasonable time frame.

I don't support the horses taking an additional slot, as I feel that the player base needs additional time to adapt properly for the new patch, and thus how to combat horses properly. Already I am seeing improvement, and in my experience, Pike usage as well as infantry coordination are on the rise again as well as proper range at horses.

I have been consistently able to neutralize a horse on the opposing team as an archer, and find that as long as the mounted cavalry does not significantly outnumber the amount of archers on the opposite team, then there is a proper check and balance.

I am attempting to minimize accidental collateral damage in case anyone takes your idea and runs with it in the future.

My faith in the forum population is rather limited, and I acted accordingly.

Not a bad idea actually, implemented in next patch. Light horses take 1 slots, heavy horses (Destrier+) take 2.

Destrier is a heavier horse, but not a heavy horse, rather a middle weight sort of horse.

True heavy horses are Cataphract and above, which, going off of your pattern, should take up three slots yes? (And perhaps the Donkeys in next patch can be 0 slots, yes?)

Make player's ass take a horse slot and call it "arse slot". So we can say "we ride an arse"!

... What? I'm seruous, it'd be really really nice, we will see who rides an arse in front of a computer better (and call him the master Master Arserider), that would show whether he's a good player in Warband. And that will really weaken any horseman, for riding an arse is really tougher.

Well I would pay a fair price to see the JetPony down.

maybe he means every horse higher the destrier...destrier ist really an armor horse, it has good ironflesh but is still slow. give all armore horses 2 slots. that makes sense, but i guess cmpx meant that anyways...and btw: what about light armored (padded textile armor) horses?  :mrgreen:

I am a pikeman and I think this idea is dumb, period.

The only way this would make any sense at all is it doesn't.

Horses do take 2 slots. It is just that their saddle bags provide 2 extra slots.
