How about adding mounts for races that can't purchase them in Bree?
Wargs for orcs and gobbos that aren't RF.
Huge boars(?) for minos and ogres.
You know... Something...
Hallelujah brother
I still manage to get a horse most of the time, as I am willing to pay plats to others to buy them for me, as well as stealing each and every one I see someone has left it behind. Got 3 last arma.
That goblins cannot buy them in Bree is fine, Bree doesn't like open evil, gotcha.
That they say goblins cannot ride is clearly BS since the skill is available to all.
There is a horse trader in Minas Morgul but that is for Mages only.
There was a stables in Terel, dunno if that is still there, but don't think the horses were as good as bree stock somehow?
Goblins don't have much differences to dwarves. And both can ride a horse with AG skills.
Sure big players do not have a huge need for steeds.
But for carrying loot etc they are _very_ valuable.
For new players some races
not being able to have a beast of burden loot carrier is a huge disadvantage.
I actually tried to capture and break in a warg
The warg which the JBS orc rides will autohunt you if you kill him and not it.
So I killed the orc and dragged the warg to Bree, it did not follow me into a safe room, but stopped hunting after that.
So I was still fighting it, unwielded and kept trying to mount it, but didn't work.
Could have tried relogging but wouldn't have helped.
Great awareness those wargs, could maybe try placing some as anti ranger sentries
There is a possible balance issue here.
1) Certain racial guilds have their own steeds. They however (seem to) pay tax for these, remembering back to when taxes where public there was added taxes (1%) for guilds with messengers, taxes for mounts etc. (I may be wrong, so lets call this an educated guess.)
2) No tax steeds are available, to a limited part of population.
So why should someone pay tax for what another gets without tax?
Why should some be discriminated against with a varied world which incorporates all sides?
Also red fang steeds are great, but cannot take a saddlebag, which is why I want a steed anyway.
So to balance either remove all tax free steeds and create a riding craft guild.
Or remove taxes for all steeds and make them available to all, the special guild ones are just adding a different flavour.
Also Creed if you want to call BS on a goblin riding a warg for RP reasons.
Did any knight put in a bug report after the recode allowed your war horses to start climbing cliffs etc?
That is a _huge_ RP cop out..
Nigget - "Waa waaa I can't take my warhorse to Terel trolls."
Pro Niggets Wiz - "Ok sorted, RP be damed.."
I guess the RP might be sound as long as you call your warhorse Pegasus!!
