Description
Horses are primarily found on steppe or grass land.
Notes
- Lead-able without having to be tamed.
- Can be tamed with seeds.
- Ride-able with 21 Body Control (has to be either led or tame for this).
- Poor climber.
- Wild horses (those that merely spawn somewhere in the wild) are grey. Bred horses come in one of 5 known colour types: Black, white, grey, brown, gold.
- Bred horses have individual (but not unique) names randomly chosen at birth.
- Bred horses can have traits affecting their speed or other characteristics.
- Bred horses have 2 foal stages (young and adolescent) before they grow to young horses.
- A horse without speed affecting traits or equipment will have a max speed of ~18 kph (when riding it).
- Riding speed is completely unaffected by terrain type. It's the same everywhere on and offroad.
- Any traits (see below), the horse's hunger, terrain steepness (uphill only) and the rider's weight can affect the speed of the horse when riding.
- Saddles and horse shoes will raise the maximum speed. A horse's gear can only be accessed or changed when tamed, and only by the tamer.
- As mobs attack tamed mounts before the rider and horses do not withstand much damage, it's usually wise to ride them untamed (to untame simply tame another animal).
- As mounts will go neither up nor down slopes over a certain max, it can be wise to ride to avoid falling off mountains.
- Being mounted provides a very substantial advantage in combat. It's usually much easier to kill a strong mob (or other opponent) when riding.
- Mounts are unaffected by the rider's stamina and health. Therefore riding makes it possible to retreat from combat regardless of low stamina/critical wounds.
Some traits (see more in Animal husbandry)
Speed related traits will turn on and off at random intervals by design.
- "It has fleeter movement than normal." - This trait is known to create a small speed boost.
- "It has lightning movement." - This causes a much higher speed boost.
- "It can carry more than average." - The rider's inventory will affect the horse's speed less.
- "It has very strong leg muscles." - The horse can be ridden on much steeper slopes.
- "The legs are of different length." - This causes a very severe speed penalty.
