hey there - i like the mounts in this game (apart from the animation bug) and i think there could be some fun customization here !
The current mounts are fun but i have some ideas to give them all a diferent "touch" and also make finding mounts on the tactical map more of a (yes! or Damn not those!)
Mounts and benefits/disadvantages
Horses Faster move / better combat move (they are stable creatures and can ride fast)
wolf Very fast move /penalties to combat move / +attack (wolfs can run for very long time before tiring - they are not easy to ride on(hence combat penalty - but they make up for it with attacking on their own (bitting abd being menacing)
Ice wolf Fast move / penalties / +attack ´/+ ice attack (same as wolf - though slower / its bite is more damaging
Tiger slower than wolf better attack - steady combat speed
lion/giant cats
Demonic creature (summonable mount for caster) - strong defensive bonus - slow - bonus attack - steady combat
Lizard (raptor like) little move bonus - +++attack -combatspeed
Dragon The best mount in game (should be very hard to get) - Very fast move / bonus to attack (breath and claws/bites) / (penalty to combat speed (hard to fight on the dragon)
or more along these lines
actually adding summonable mounts in general o the casters could be good fun
