Horse gets hit stunned like characters do.

So you want to discourage horsemen from going into melee even more now? They already have a distinct disadvantage fighting people head on and getting a chance to be reared, but now any random hit will make them not be able to get away and die. So all weapons are spears now.

[Rumblood]

Well then, give all horses, including runaway horses a realistic charge damage and a 50% chance of knocking melee the fuck out when they bump them. Don't forget to add blunt hoof damage and another 50% chance to knock the fuck out any melee standing in front of a horse that rears. Also add a key to trigger a double hoof kick to the rear that does 150 blunt damage to anyone behind the stopped horse.

Then you can stun the horses.

[Strudog]

It is your own fault if the horse gets away, rear the horse again is it tries to get away, the horses dont exactly bolt out of those ganking cluster fucks, its the people on the ground who are  kill hungry whores that let they guy get away.

I have seen several threads where people seemed to be in agreement that the difficulty for playing cav is way too low ( duh ). Suggestions like collision damage to make cav harder to play got overall approval. Cant see why this gets so many downvotes now. Horses right now feel like robots with gokart wheels attached to the legs, not like living creatures made of flesh and blood.

This thread is a perfect example why you should think before you type...

Btw melee weapon hit doesn't stun you, it only cancels your attack afaik. Only ranged weapons stun now that paulstagger is gone and forgotten.

I'm confused, you want a horse that is going 40 km/h to stop dead for an instant when it gets hit? Think horses are quite okay, especially since the recent stab changes gave even 1h a decent counter, basically taking on anyone head on is extremely risky. Using a +3 cataphract horse I have had experiences where 4 people tried to kill my stopped horse and failed due to sloppy swinging and me trying to negate speed bonus as much as I can, other occasions your 44k worth of horse gets 1 hit by a proper swing when riding fast or 2 hit when standing still.

Rarely does your horse get stopped twice and survives.

maybe not stopped dead just slow down and has to speed up again.

Next time you get bumped by 600-1000kg of 'flesh and blood', start thinking why your character is even able to stand up. For you-archers it is easy to say that cav is too easy and horses are 2 good because they sneak up on you, yet when you see charging cav, you keep staying in his charge-line and wait till the very last second to release the arrow into the rider. Rider gets shitload of damage because of speed bonus, but ranged guy doesn't care that he gets bumped because bump from light-medium horse is just pitiful, unless you are naked.

What people dislike in cav is that horses are barely hearable when they are behind you which causes a lot of sneak kills. On the other hand perma small lance angle , upkeep, lance stab downblockablity and different other features of lance cav made cav players adjust to the conditions and made cavalry a backstab tool.

Ho well, the average lifespan of cav after being hit once by anything is already less than 5 seconds anyway.

Make it so horses can break walls and other destructible environments.

 Maybe if the horses slow down from hits and have a little damage animation. Also, make the horses harder to control. Of course, maybe we should wait until Mount and Blade 2 because this would be a huge change that takes a lot of work that the devs are probably already going to do.

I usually use champ large warhorse and champ war horse, and I rarely live after being reared. Your horse gets stuck on the infantry and you can't move.

a rondel dagger can 1 hit a +3 padded warhorse at it's full speed, and you are talking about nerfs?

I can hardly use my horse on eu1 lately cos of the amount of ranged. Seriously all I hear is the thud of arrows or bolts into my plated charger, if this was implememented i'd be averaging 1km/h the whole 7mins.

Pathetic (the idea and the amount of ranged spam).
