Horses could be OP if tamable.
All it takes is one clover for me to destroy an entire swamp of fireflies and curiosities. The amount of ground I can cover with a single clover is also insane.
I love horses, and I think right now the horse implementation is about as fair and balanced as it can get. You can maybe find a couple horses in a big field, but if you could consistently gear up an entire war party with tamed horses - The average hermit would be in big trouble.

Well aware. Hence I dread pushing forward with domestication.

Re: Horses could be OP...
Worth noting that horses should get a speed debut in swamps like everyone/thing else. (Image of Artax on the swamps of sadness came to mind)

Horses should arguably be worse at moving through swamps than Hearthlings.

Having never seen a real horse in a swamp, I bow to your wisdom.

Good idea. If you ride to swamp with horse they stop and start crying with tear animation, making noises and eventually suffocate. With some good sound effect, where he is doing painful last breaths.Orcling wrote:jorb wrote:Horses should arguably be worse at moving through swamps than Hearthlings.
