I also made this heraldic large warhorse. It's like the barded one, but shows the mail protection on the head, which means it could have the same stats as the large warhorse maybe(...)
To be honest, it would be better if we have different stats on each item. We can assume those heraldic horses uses additional/thicker surcoat (the one with banner), so maybe they should get slightly more defence (surcoat gives slightly more protection), but a bit less charge (hitting with surcoat creates additional softness).
I guess having same stats on 2 items isn't bad solution either, but different stats gives more options, which is always good thing to have.
My proposition:
Barded Warhorse
hit points: 130
body armor: 32
difficulty: 5
speed: 41
maneuver: 41
charge: 24 | Heraldic Barded Warhorse
hit points: 130
body armor: 34
difficulty: 5
speed: 41
maneuver: 41
charge: 22 |
Large Warhorse
hit points: 130
body armor: 43
difficulty: 5
speed: 40
maneuver: 41
charge: 34 | Heraldic Large Warhorse
hit points: 130
body armor: 45
difficulty: 5
speed: 40
maneuver: 41
charge: 32 |
I consider 2 charge in most cases is worth more than 2 defence, but it also depends from playstyle and cav class. From the other hand, heraldic version is better looking one, so I think this kind of stats are reasonable to keep regular versions still popular.
Since we are in horses topic. You should also consider slight horse adjustments:
- Eastern Horse: decrease difficulty to 7 riding, since it's completely unused horse currently with not that good stats in first place.
- War Horse: decrease charge damage from 34 to 30. Considering this horse uses smaller model, it shouldn't deal so huge damage. Especially between Padded Warhorse and War Horse, there is currently huge 10 charge damage difference. Since this horse has best speed from all 40+ def horses, it also has highest additional damage from speed bonus. That's why it just don't deserve to have as high charge as Large Warhorse.
- Cataphract Horse: increase maneuver from 39 to 40, decrease charge damage from 36 to 35. This horse deserves slight maneuver buff since like ages. It's good horse, but considering stats, Large Warhorse is better choice atm.
