Horses

[Hollogodis]

Make them able to swim cuz rivers are like blocking off land everywhere...and making them sprint longer than this rediciosly short sprint they can do, they are frigging horses! Horses can run LONG distances. And make them loadable on knarrs.

Having roped animals swim behind you would be neat though, I can't see any reason against that.

You can breed horses to have longer sprinting time. Endurance and stamina traits are the important ones.

Not sure I like the pvp implications of horses on knarrs though. I dunno, maybe.

What you mean pvp implications of horses on knarrs? Irl they loaded horses on boats to get them over water. We already got the raft but thats just slow and tedious.

Otherwise Another idea is to add shallows over rivers, so u can just ride over and boats can still cross. Cuz there is redicilous ammounts of rivers blocking off landmasses.

now i use boat+raft+horse when do quests. swimming horses would be more convenient.

Horses should be able to swim if person riding them has swimming on.

Since everyone in this game eats fatty stuff every day the horse stamina goes down way quicker if swimming while still on it's back. (Comparable to 4th or maybe non-existent 4.5 or 5 speed)

If taking effort to leash horse and swim across yourself it is much less burden on the horse and should take stamina at rate of 3rd speed.

Not allowing to swim on horses is stupid because people just work around it with crossroads which is less realistic and not cool.

But yeah it would be hilarious if someone thinks it's a good idea to swim across on a horse's back and then someone else does the hearth magic so it dances in the water until it drowns with it's owner

Horses having mild problems with bodies of water is what keeps boats relevant.

No.
