Ya, i made a long post about this for 0.952 but I guess the devs just dont realize how OP it is.
Mounts with +2 move upsets balance on so many levels:
1) Exp is gained much faster because you can fight more often.
2) You can do easy attacks on cities since there is no way your opponent will get back to defend it in time.
3) You rob your opponents of the opportunity to gain exp because you get to the monsters faster.
4) Tactical fights are easier because you get the first hit.
5) You clear out goody huts before anyone else even see them.
6) Tactical fights are easier because you can kite.
7) You explore the map faster to find good spots for cities/outposts.
