[kimya]

you realize what animal breeding adds to the game, dont you?

Yet doesn't require horses right? And wouldn't take half as long as it would to add if horses weren't included?
That is the same as saying "Adding giant boats that take forever for Jorb to sprite will cause rowboats to get added, so we need giant boats"

Well sure, but once you add proper animal husbandry in the game, adding horses isn't that hard. So yeah, domestic animals first, then horses.

Making horses useful is alot harder, and as the game is now doesn't actually need them.

[Potjeh]

You're kidding me, right? Horses would do for inland areas what boats did for coastal ones. I don't know about you, but I wouldn't call boats useless.

10000 post GET!

Also, good idea.

[Jackard]

while horses might be useful lets face it they would take a lot of work

and honestly i'd rather have wagons - something that can transport people and large volumes of goods overland. you'd need bridges for those, though

[Potjeh]

Well, I'm all about wagons too, but I figured that horses are a prerequisite for them. And yeah, horses would be a lot of work, but I reckon most of that work would be stuff that's also needed for domesticated cows, sheep and chickens, which is something that's badly needed.

[Jackard]

they would require extra work, far beyond that of other animals because of the animation/balancing for riding/combat and whatnot. though that's so blindingly obvious im not sure why it needed to be said

and no, you dont need horses to pull wagons. we already have cows in game, after all
