Posted April 14, 2013 Horse Plate would be very heavy and slow the horses down alot, i mean there is horse plate/mail armour that has plate over the vitals and chain all around Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted April 14, 2013 I don't see why not, but there would just be a huge speed penalty is all+1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted April 14, 2013 +1 but i wouldn't want to see steel used, the new iron sheets is an idea but not steel Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted April 15, 2013 Thin steel plated horse armor! +1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted April 15, 2013 (edited) Chain bardings already slow the horse down considerably, idk if plate would be doable...Not even going for the realism card, since a plate horse armor would have to look badass...Just not very useful.

Posted April 15, 2013 Imagine a battle group of 20 soldiers arriving beefed up with top of the line gear and horses in fearsome Steel Armor? That would look awesome ;D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted April 15, 2013 I would put the steel on my back up horse that is only ridden once combat has started for height bonus speed wouldn't matter Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted April 15, 2013 +1 since we already have chain barding.But with the natural weight progression of cloth -> leather -> chain -> plate, the horse would be moving very very slowly.Even with traits and horseshoes etc... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
