It's never going to be perfect... I'm just trying to think up a situation where you don't have the centaur chopped in half.
I'm not sure which one is worse.
Hitting a centaur with a club and watching him fly apart, or killing a heavily armored centaur only to realize he must not of had his armor fastened properly.
For that, you'd just need to make the extra mesh have the armor on it as well. It would be doable. Just don't go overboard with too many centaur armor variations and it shouldn't be too bad.
Think of it like the decapitations in Vikingr.
Damage is dealt in the right area.
The head mesh is removed via code (or replaced with a bloody stump helmet mesh? I'm not sure exactly).
A new mesh of a bloody head is spawned in the area and falls to the ground.
In your case, it would be like this:
Damage is dealt to the Centaur. (enough to kill it)
The "rider" is removed entirely via code.
The horse half is replaced with a special mesh of horse with body attached to it (this mesh can also have armor on it that matches the armor that the original troop had), which then dies (hopefully in a way that doesn't make the animation look stupid).
Something like that that? Someone with actual coding knowledge would have to confirm whether this is possible (and actually do the work...)
