I'm glad that obvious oversight will be corrected (relative horse speeds). As for looting the dead, I like it as a GT (Ground Thrower) cuz it takes me half my jarids to kill a horse, but realize that if this was implemented the archers would never run out of ammo:( As it is, I usually find enough throwing dealies lying around to chase archers, but yeah, damn horses! You'd think unarmoured ones wouldn't damage the tips too much. Maybe headshots*, but the nice soft squishy under belly?
*Headshots don't apply to me anyway, I think I only got 3 headshots in 2 generations.
