About this mod
Saddles and Horse Armor now give boni to maneuver, speed and charge damage.
Heavy armors are slow but have a deadly charge, saddles are fast.
Calculator for stats of your own items included!
Rebalanced the prices (optional) and added the items to the corresponding culture.
Part of my price overhaul.
- Permissions and credits
(If you wanbt to have horse armor price balancing without stat boni, try this)
- Optional price balancing to fit into my other mods
- Horse armor gives up to
16,5 speed
15 charge damage
Prices
Carefully balanced the prices. They are dependend on armor values and maneuver + speed boni.
Details price calculation:
Value = Boni Factor + Armor Factor - 300
- Boni Factor = (maneuver + speed boni + 80)³ x 0.000003
- Armor Factor = (Armor + 10)³ x 0.12
How can horse armor make a horse faster?
The realistic approach to the stat boni
Riding a horse is difficult. There may be riders who don't need a saddle or anything to to it.
But a saddle has a lot of advantages
- The reins give the rider a lot of control
- Historically speaking stirrups revolutionized fighting on horsback because now you really can lean to the side without falling of
- The saddle distributes the weight of the rider (+ his armor and gear) so that the horse is hindered by it by a smaller extend
- Some saddles have these bad boys on them:
- With the plate on the back, you can crush your lance into an enemy with full speed without pushing yourself of the horse .
- You can press your legs into the plate on the front to give you even more security
- Every horse armor has (most of) the points above. So you are way more in control of your horse than without it!
- But the weight of course will slow it down.
- The armor can have a lot of characteristics:
- How flexible ist it? (leather, chain, plate)
- Can the horse move freely?
- How is the weight destributed?
- How hot is the armor for the horse?
- Are the senses of the horse affected?
- Does the armor make a lot of noise?
- ...
Different cultures may have different understanding of barding. They may use different strap configurations, ect.
History showed that these technologys made a big difference. Cultures didn't just see other forms of inventions and adopted them right away, they developed. Seeing the completely different sorts of armor (and horse armor!) in Calradia and looking at the advantages of saddles and bardings, it's only logical that
- Different cultures have different boni
- Saddles "make a horse faster" by giving the rider more control and security
- Even an armored horse can be more controllable than a horse without any saddle.
