      This topic has already been discussed, yes, but there is little to no official information on it, just a lot of speculation. All we know so far, is that there will be mounts in-game, as well as mounted combat, for all races, except for dwarf, who will recieve a mount, just not a combat mount.

       Speculation so far goes:

        Empire - Horses
        Elves - Elven Horses
        Dwarves - A cart & pony, or some kind of mechanical mount.
        Chaos - A Chaos or Daemon mount of some kind.
        Dark Elves - Cold Ones
        Goblins - Wolves or Spiders
        Orcs - Boars or Wolves

      Hope that helps.

    I'm hoping for a giant hamster or a monkey with a saddle.  It's up to you now, Mythic...make it happen.

    He won't ride anything, I'll ride him.  That's what the saddle's for.  Tho I'll probably need somethin to hold on to for when he decides to walk on 2 legs.

    Hmm, I didn't know mounts were confirmed.  I guess they do have penty of time though... They must have high hopes of low latency.  AKA lag is less noticable if you are moving 1ft/sec then 10ft/sec.  IE you hit a lag spike if you are on foot you may be a few steps off after you have recover, but if your are riding fast you may be 50 ft off.  More likely to end up somewhere you don't want to be.  I only mention this because collision detection is already a huge CPU hog.  However, Planetside managed so I figure WAR will be "playabe" too.

    Seems everyone is jumping atop the 'mounted combat' wagon. They all must have been playing Dynasty Warriors a lot. image

    But a good thing regardless.

    Dark Elves used horses (The Dark Riders) and Cold Ones (Knights) maybe we'll have a choice, or an upgrade or something like that?

    well
    then you will have to think up 2 mounts for every race. And I think
    (looking at the warhammer lore) that it is allready hard to think up 1
    dwarven mount ;)

    2 mounts huh? Well how aboot dis:



    Empire - Horse >> Barded Warhorse with class buffs?image

    Elves - Elven Steed (like the Reavers) >> Ulthuan Stang (like the Silverhelms ya know image)

    Dwarves
    - Cart and Pony (like Gandalf in the first scene in LOTR:FOTR?)
    >> Dwarven War Wagon (maybe it can transport other players or
    allow them to attack from it?!?!?)!image



    Chaos - Nothern Horse (think what the Marauders rideimage) >> Barded Daemonic Warhorse (like the Chaos Knights or what Archaon rides)image

    Dark Elves
    - Naggaroth Dark Steed (Dark Rider mount) >> Cold Ones (Cold One
    Knights' mounts - cute little mean lizards like what the hatchlings are
    in the new Godzilla movie with Mathew Perry)image

    Orcs and Goblins -

        Orcs -
    Boar (the mounted savage Orc cavalry mount, maybe a little warpaint on
    it?) >> WAAAGH BARDED WAR BOAR (ability to charge and deal
    massive damage with tusks?!?) image

        Gobbo's - Wolf (standard cavlary doggyimage
    >> Spider Rider Attacker (perhaps a wall climbing ability for
    sieges or shoots webs so mounts or regular players can't move?!?) image

    I like diversity, not upgrades. I'd be rather upset if I had to give up my wolf for a spider jsut because spiders own.

    That being said, I think a cart counts as a vehical not a mount, where more than one person can ride at once. I think they'll get some sort of animal and some sort of mechine for Dwarves.

    I just hope they have some Chaos Mutant Mounts.

  • EldaElda Member Posts: 343
    One thing. In Warhamme TT, the Dark Steeds are faster then Cold Ones
    but are worse fighters. If they get those 2 mounts, will they stick to
    the lore and give players the choice between speed or fighting power or
    will they just make the Cold Ones faster (or the Dark steeds stronger
    lol, not :P)

    Diversifying is fine. I like the idea of having more than one mount
    though and the idea of those different mounts providing different
    benefits. For example:
    Gobbo's Spider Mount: climb castle walls and shoot webs to make people stick
    Gobbo's Wolf Mount: ferocious howl that enhances attack speed or something that lets your mount sprint


    I was just trying to throw some ideas out there. I do want the Barded
    Chaos Warhorse though, I think Games Workshop did a fantastic job when
    they re-did the Chaos Warriors and Knights.image


    Ideas for dwarven mounts is tough because in Warhammer folklore didn't
    dwarves claim they're too stubborn to ride mounts and would rather hump
    out a march?image
    With that said I thought maybe later in the game they would be the only
    race capable of producing the War Wagons since they have no mounts.


    To balance that, Goblins could later produce Snotling Pump Wagons or
    Chariots but they have mounts and now I'm just getting confused and
    estatic...image



    Bottom line, Cold One's for dem pointy ears, Barded War Horses for de
    'umies, Stang's for dem otha pointy ear'd softies, and War Boars for
    our boyz!image

    The reason dwarves don't use mounts is that they say they are too stubborn to use something else to walk for them as long as they have two working feet. (Actually, any mount they could have to use in combat would have to be so small that thgey wouldn't fall off as to make it useless)

    In the TT, each army, and unit within said army, has it's own strengths and weekness'. Dwarves are slow moving, with limited amount of unit selection. Where they get the benefit is they have some of the toughest hombres ever to pick up an axe - SLAYERS.  After slayers, dwarves are still the strongest (except for the ogre kingdom of course) man for man (so to speak) they have the best armour and are the best defensive units out there. Also, they have the best artillary out there, and the best (IMO) aerial unit - the GYROCOPTER. 

    Who needs mounts, when we chop out your legs from under ya!!!

    well khrag your not really all that special with having played the TT game. Most of us on this forum did/do play warhammer TT.



    I got THE solution for the dwarves. Don't give them mounts, give them a
    special ability to make them go faster. Not a sprint ability (ever saw
    a dwarf running fast?) no give them the ability to ROLL. While rolling
    you can't fight but you do get impact hits when you hit someone ^^
