Horse shoes Saddlebags and Armor

We have horses but why not have horse shoes that appear in view on the horse
and they could increase speed or decrease the chance of falling of your horse
also we could make saddles and saddlebags to carry things that you cant you could make different saddles with different patterns and saddlebags

armorer's could also make armor for the horses different kinds like:

elven leather:light armor

aurochs hide:medium armor

steel:heavy armor

so let yer horse get armor upgrades and armorer's get some recipes.

thxx for listening

Thats an excellent idea mate ! Write it up on the turbine forums ?

go on halindorn thats fine

they could bring in a new char type in book 11, in the lotr films you had the horseman of Angmar, who they could give the hores skill to at lev 20 and they could be able to fight on horse back, that would be cool, you could have a skill that makes your horse rear up and strike your foe with its front legs

You know...I was thinking exactly the same thing.

Class: Light horseman
Weapons: Spears,swords,axes,knives,maces.
Armour:Light,medium,shield

Skills:
lvl1= Horse/dismount,Swift attack,horse kick (ouch)
lvl3= Horse apprentice (+20%morale for 20s)
lvl20=Heroic charge (charge at ennemie causing massive damage (+300) cooldown=15min.

Class: Heavy horseman (has heavy armor but most "Good" Skills come late.
Weapons: Spears,swords,axes,knives,maces
Armour: Light,heavy,medium

Avaible to (both class): Men,elves.

These could be added when they do rohan
Only problem: everyone will want to be one...

tru
but how about this
at lvl 50 u can do tht and if u kn how 2 use heavy amour so dose ur horse but if u dont though luk
and amour should decrease ur speed (heavy being worse for tht)
but all tis at lvl 50

yer or you can deal v heavy dmg when on hores back, but you can still be knocked off when you have taken a certian amount of damage, and when you are not on your hourse you deal less damage, and have less armour, that would even out the class, you could also get armour for you horse. as you level, so does your horse and it can wear better armour.

eg.

lev 1-10 your horse has no armour and you can be knocked of as you can in the game at the moment. ( after 2-4 hits)

lev 11- 25 light armour for horse

lev 26- 39 medium armour for horse

lev 40-50 heavy armour for horse

but you yourself can only wear light leather armour and use light shield, and single handed weps.
when you reach lev 20 - while you are on your horse, you can still use spears/sword/axe/hammer etc. and your shield orat lev 20 u can use 2 handed pole arms and no shield for extra dmg:)

yes and Uruk-kai Pikemen take you down easly

yea tht sounds gd
