Posted January 12, 2015 (edited) I love the visual look of the bardings!But feel both the visual and possibly added benefits of having a harness for the animal-drawn vehicles would be an fine addition.Maybe it could add a slight speed bonus when pulling carts etc.I do not think it should be required to be able hitch animals to carts, as leather can be hard go get when you fairly new to the game. But would mean more uses for the leather working skill. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horse_harness Perhaps a new features could be to:Pull trees etc through the woods without the use of a wagon at all Plow fields Cut grass Harvest some types of fields Help tear some types of fence downMore ideas anyone?I also posted this on uservoice, not sure if that's used much anymore? I apologize if I missed out on others posting this idea, but I did a fair share of searching before posting.-Bene Edited January 12, 2015 by Beneldorla 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 12, 2015 I think there are harnesses already in Wurm, like when you hitch an animal - they're just invisible. As for the new uses, they would be great. +1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted January 12, 2015 (edited) +1 for the extra uses, and the visible hitched to cart graphics.I love these ideas.These are things I do with a tractor right now ..Maybe it could add a slight speed bonus when pulling carts etc.I do not think it should be required to be able hitch animals to carts, as leather can be hard go get when you fairly new to the game. But would mean more uses for the leather working skill.Pull trees etc through the woods without the use of a wagon at allPlow fields Cut grass Harvest some types of fields Help tear some types of fence downAlso:Till grass into dirt with horse lead by harness -2 secondsTill weeds into dirt with horse lead by harness -2 secondsBonus to harvest speed with horse lead by harness -2 seconds* *Minus to yield (first hand RL XP) hand harvest takes time, but increases yield vs mechanized harvesting.

Posted January 15, 2015 I like the idea of visible harness when a horse is hooked to a cart. If you want them to have a slight speed advance when hooked to the cart. How would that affect saddles we have now? I wouldn't want to juggle between the two. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 15, 2015 +1 I have thought about this alot myself... I would also like to see a way to grade uneven roads. Not removing dirt but flattening tile border as you move forward. Easy enough to do now, with flatten command, but would be alot more fun with a horse drawn grader. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
