Pardon me, Scandinavian and GaElic. Though truth be told, megaliths can be found all over Europe and beyond.

Either way, I would be disappointed to see horse archers/mounted combat. I realize that I'm probably in the minority on that one.

Horses shouldn't be of much use in forests, though, and horse archers doubly so.

I imagine with fear a picture of H&H Raubritters, with epic horses, armors and weapons, chasing you down without any chance of escape.

I guess we should stick to naval warfare.

Foot combat is enough of a chore to balance as is. Also, given the way that archery works, mounted combat just seems like it would play out ridiculously. A guy on a horse is going to kite the shit out of somebody on foot and kill them, wow how fun! Even with penalties to hit involved, the move speed is going to more than make up for it. There are a hundred different ways they could do it wrong and only a handful that would end up anywhere near correct. It just isn't worth what it would bring to the game in my opinion.

Because all features are awesome and we should throw in everything and the kitchen sink!

No, fuck feature creep imo. If something gets implemented there should be something significantly meaningful that it is adding to the game.

A) It will be fun for the rider,
B) It's a proven fact that horseback fighters "kite the shit out of" general footsoldiers.

C) I only gave this as a community idea for people to get together and hunt foxes, not people.
