Where are my horses hoves?

[Juzza]

I was wondering, how come lighter cavalry tends to be lacking a hoof attack, yes they are lighter but that doesn't mean they shouldn't have one. I had always thought it represented the trampling effect horses in warfare had, such as pushing back enemies and trampling the odd person down. Since it's impossible to give them the Trample ability because it'd pretty much make all horsemen the same. Perhaps a 'Light Hoof' attack could be given to lighter calvary and only do 8 nsta dmg and possibly a -1 to attack.

Try the Conceptual Balance Mod, report back.

In the CB mod, all horses are given hoof attack, something which some people have had issues with. However I like the idea.

I think what would be better is if the horse hoofs, did less damage, but had the do more damage to smaller beings ability. This would make it seem like a mini trample.

imho iCH is right and the CB mod, Juzza and Dr D are wrong on this one (bad change)

[Aristander]

I would also agree with Ich.

Well, solution is obvious. Some horses should not have hoof attack - why would horse archer train his horse to trample. Other horses should have it. Just like it is now.

But by same reconning, light cavalry should be MUCH cheaper. Nomadic horse archers had often remounts - their lifestyle made it possible for each free man to feed many horse - contrasted to Westerners, where it took a village to pay for a few knights.

Right now, horse brothers, for example, are way too expensive. They should be barely more expensive than tribal archers.

Only trained war horses can make use of their hooves as attack in battle.
