as long as it's probably going to be added anyway I think we ought to figure out now how to make sure its balanced.
There will probably be 10-20 different mounted combat mods, and none of them will be perfect.
It needs to model real horse combat. Accuracy has to be greatly deduced (which would noyl apply to a bow since there is not area damage and damage on a horse needs to be increased relative to how fast the horse is going)
Mounted combat ought to be done in runs, as in, if you horse is going fast enough not to take one in the gut, ti won't be able to turna ll that well either, so you have to attack your enemies in passes.
It would require major changes since the entire game with all the massive battles and the scene development made for unmounted combat, a guy riding in on a horse would basically screw it all up.

And the Buddha replied, "Why not try crawling into the blazing furnace?"
