Horse riding... clippety clop

[GonZ]

Just a very small idea for the way you control your horse.

When you want to speed up instead of just pressing forward, how about if you had to give a couple of knocks on the forward key to get the beast moving. Once at a trot another knock of the heels might get the horse to canter... another to charge.

This would roughly equate to kicking your heels into the horses flanks.

I think it would add a certain amount of realism and make playing the game more skillful.

Taking that idea a little bit further. Riders (with a low skill perhaps) could buy and use spurs to control more unruly animals. This would come with it's own dangers of course... spurring too much might result in getting thrown from the horse.

You don't have to hold down the W key permanently, you can just hold for 2 seconds or so and wait about 10 seconds...

It's an original idea though.

Obviously an original idea that no-one likes lol.

Seriously though I think it would add a new level of challenge to horse riding and would add to the realism of the combat.

Any takers?

I promise not to bounce this again

Well it makes it more challenging without giving increased tactical capabilities or anything else in return. The only thing that should be challenging in this game is the actual combat.
