I don't understand some of the people who post here.  It seems like any time something becomes slightly more than situationally useful, they demand it be nerfed to the ground.  OTOH, uninteresting or underpowered mechanics are praised for being balanced.  *shrug*

I like it the way it is.

The new mount mechanics are much appreciated.  Leave it as is for now.

They are fine as of .87

It means you won't pimp out all your units next season with mounts, nor will you have enough to give them to everyone. In time you will get to the point where you can afford to have mounted troops on 3 or more heroes. 

And there is always trading. Just sayin'

Unlike Civ5, the AI will always trade you a resource, EVEN IF YOU TAKE EVERY BIT OF IT, as long as you offer him an exchange he finds fair. So there's no "I won't give you my horses so that you can surpass me in military power". Which sort of should be looked at.

From what I've seen, they are much more balanced in 0.87 now.

Not every troop and their dog should think they need to be mounted.

Horses and Wargs are now a commodity based upon scarcity and that is awesome!

Awesome ideas!!!

I would also like to add that, now with Horses and Wargs being more scarce than before, this opens up the door for fantastic mounts! Being able to find a Unicorn Grove or a Griffin's Roost and have them outpost scarcer amounts of mounts relative to horses or wargs, but enough to that the player can fully explore having the new tech "Fantastic Mounts", being researchable right after 'Warg Riders'.

Unicorns should have the ability Teleport: 5 turn cooldown, Unit is able to teleport anywhere on the tactical map.

Griffins should be flying units, able to traverse strategic terrains that would otherwise inhibit movement.

I welcome other suggestions for fantastic mounts....

But add more mounts, please!

Would you play without necklaces or boots?

Mounts are just another upgrade slot. You're asking the devs to make it useless or leave it empty and that is a bad thing for the game.

Mounts don't have to be balanced against infantry because mounted troops are an upgrade to infantry not something meant to be in parallel. 

Mounts should be balanced between eachother wargs beeing just as useful as horses (or a bit more since they require more research). I hope at some point we'll have other mounts too (spiders, panthers, etc.)  to make it more interesting.

I think Ceresa's faction cen get those spider mounts and I think there's also a lizard mount summoned by an item or quest.  Anyway, I hope to get  more mounts to make the slot more interesting.

I don't mind the fact it's harder to field a mounted army but I don't like the new bonuses.

The bonuses are so small they don't matter beyond early game.  The only bonus that still has some value mid to late game is movement speed and horses have bigger movement speed (making wargs useless).

I like the mount scarcity changes.  Still think there's work to be done on balancing their respective skills/benefits.  Horses are available before Wargs, and Horses are still generally better than Wargs if you have them available to you.  As another person (forget who, sorry) mentioned in the Horse/Warg balance thread the Knockdown % on mounts really shouldn't be 100%.

I just thought I'd say that I find the new numbers to be much better.  Wargs do need some kind of bonus, though - or they should just go back to being mutually exclusive again, which I was just fine with.
