Bonus against horses. Spears and Polearms.

[Torost]

I have played a few gens on horseback now. Its plenty fun.

What really annoys me when I make a heroic charge into a mass of players is the peasant with a pointy stick that puts my maxspeed jumping horse to a standstill instantly. And then unable to move because another peasant is standing next to my horse.

Consider changing the weapons that have rearing ability today to "Bonus against horse" , giving them double dmg or something.

The higher tier horses.. war horses should be able to push over a footman even at low speed.
Maybe not do any dmg, but push him over.. or atleast be able to push past him.

It's fine how it is.  More than half the time a player on a heavy horse will trot away after getting reared by a polearm.

From a realistic point of view, it is indeed quite silly how it works now.

This could be changed of course. Just look at crushthrough and knockdown which doesn't always occur.
Maybe horses should not always be stopped either.
