omg !! meet bob, my MOUNT!!

[philu]

Thats why we have the Encyclopedia, we have to recover all knowledge that was lost, we have now learned to use mounts, later we will maybe learn how to use them in war..
I think this is a good system where you dont have access to everything from the start.

I think the mounts should be able to eat some carcasses left after combat though, buying food to get from A to B seems more expensive than using teleport now.

Yeah I agree the knowledge should come gradually, more in keeping with the story (and development schedules!).

Aren't meks herbivores? They can't eat carcasses if they are.

Mounts... so much has changed in 1 month, im in for one hell of a log in in 2 days .

They could still eat grass though, or whatever plants grow on Atys. The wild mektoubs seem to get along fine without being fed.

It's alwase about a "run buff" to developers.

What about this? wouldnt this be cool? wouldnt you want to see this in a game?

An entire guild, mounted in ranks, lances leveled as they CHARGE!! a field full of invading kipee!!

Seems like the perfect fix for ranged waepons, You can fire a ranged weapon from your mount! That would be it. The taller your mount, the more range modifier you have.

What a brilliant idea!

They do eat grass and all though. How do you think they can go days w/o eating if they are just staying there. The reason you must buy them food is for when you want them to run. When they are running it would be hard for them to eat grass from the ground so you must supply them with food in their sack.
