Falling from your horse

[Qwertyest]

I like the way it is now possible to make footmen fall over if they are charged by a horse, or if they are hit hard enough with a weapon, but how about making it so that if you hit someone who's on horseback with enough force, they are thrown off their horse?

For example, say that you're charging directly at an enemy horseman, who is also charging directly at you. You manage to get a hit in on this guy as the two of you pass each other. It wasn't powerful enough to kill him outright, but you did hit him with a lot of force (say a +50% speed bonus for the attack). I think that being hit this hard would make it very difficult for him to remain on his horse, so instead, should be thrown back off the horse.

This could obviously happen to you aswell, if you're not careful and get hit very hard!

I suggested this exact same thing upon the release of the patch. armagan replied and here are his exact words:

"I'll add knocking off mounted opponets as soon as I can find the time. But I'll be working on module tools and bug fixes for some time to come..."

Ah, ok then!

Probably should have done a search first before posting this topic. My bad.

(ty for not biting my head off about repeating something that's already been asked, like I've seen happen in some other threads )

Also, there should be specialized weapons for knocking off riders from horseback, like in history - halberd, all polearms with hooked blade.

Kamamura, that's nice to hear. Didn't know that.

Qwertyest, no problem, this topic would be pretty hard to run a search on and I made the suggestion weeks ago, so it's no wonder you haven't seen it. It's people who make a new thread when the last one on the same topic is almost at the top of the current page who deserve to be admonished.
