I kill horses

[ArchonAlarion]

I wish instead of increased damage to legs, the horse became "slowed" if hit in the legs.

Also, horse hp should be equalized (around 85 for light horses, 100 for heavy), and barded armor increased.

im not really sure about which patch are you talking about

Im a heavy cav for quite a while now, and cant really complain about anything too much. upkeep prices are a bit too high, but thats always been a case

lol, just lol

100.... LOL

I suggested increasing armor too. That way you could  1 shot heavies with poleaxes, bardiches, etc. more often, but small fire would be ineffective.

Wait I don't get the wording so good, am I right that you are suggesting...lol, that a great big expensive beast with armor should be 1 hit with a weapon, whereas a puny human in some BS medium armour can take shit loads? makes sense, makes sense.

Unless you mean something else then i am mistaken and apologise

[ArchonAlarion]

I think that a horse hit in the face with a big axe by a trained soldier is going to spaz out, have a bloody seizure on the ground, and die. Puny humans should do that too, I guess. I am not saying 1 shot every time though. If you even had the slightest inclination to rationally consider "around 100 hp, but with more armor," you'd understand that, whether you agree or not.

@Polk and Alex

Most of the times I'm being shot at, I'm not usually riding towards the archer, usually perpendicular or away from the archer. A not so strong hit won't do much damage to the horse, like 1/4. A medium hit will do 1/3 to 1/2. A strong hit with a large speed bonus will naturally do a lot anyways, around 60-75%. My horse has rarely been 1 shot except against exceptional arbalest users, and obviously some STR-focused melee. 4-5 was a bit extreme on rouncey anways since I see 5 as a maximum not an average. It's closer to 3-4.

Then there are attacks that hit you instead of your horse, taking up a variable number of hits. How important this is depends on how well that character is geared towards melee.


So anyways, I'm still in favor of making the head more of a weakspot and removing the legs thing. Making horses slower or whatever will only be a pain and just cause people to get off. The head is slightly harder to hit, and not many people will have access to the head unlike the legs if the cav is stopped by melee.

Armoured horses need a buff. Sucks that my PC can get 1-2 shot in the legs -.- I understand the nerf they did (and it makes sense), but to pay 4.5k each round for it (and it needs repair each round) its rediculous to have it. I might aswell get a fucking sumpter and ride around in that, same shit now.

I wrote exact same thing.

Good to see it's not just our imaginations.  Fail development.
