Changes to horse armour

[Drunken Monkey]

Hey, 


I've got a suggestion regarding horse armours.

Since horses are already immortal they don't need any armour. Horse charge doesn't damage the enemies and so the armour only slows you down and decreases your maneuver stat. And so pretty much nobody uses hourse armours currently.

Here is my suggestion: Why not make the horse armours entirely cosmetic? Remove the speed and maneuver penalties and only keep their looks - because If you ask me, they really do look cool and it's a shame nobody uses them.


Thanks for reading,
Drunken

I am using horse armour, because it looks nice, but sure no stat reductions would be nice.

Horses were once killable, which meant you either die pretty quickly or take another horse from either a bot or from an earlier wave. Reverting back to that system would probably be best in terms of gameplay but the player would not be able to customize their horses just as much

Yeah, I agree that going back to that system would make cavalry mode more interesting. I was just assuming the current system was here to stay and if it is then might aswell remove penalties on horse armours. Either way, one thing or the other would be cool I think ;)

Yes, I also miss the old system when horses were not immortal. Also current horse scales are ridiculous. Even the top tier horses are small like donkeys.
