Mount & Blade?

[Tonitrus]

Don't lose your horse. 

The lance is the best, most overpowered weapon in the game.  Couched lance damage destroys everything in one hit.  I can take out dozens of people on foot alone if I'm patient and careful.  I only wish my cavalry were as good and plowed through infantry instead of getting stuck in them hacking away with their sword.

Yeah cavalry is good at getting stuck.  A weak horse is also the main reason mounted companions get knocked out easily.  The best way to mitigate this is to get them the ability to use Chargers(or horses with a high Charge stat), as this is the stat that determines how much bumping into infantry will slow/stop a horse.

This mod has been a labour of love with most of the work only done by two people me and my co modder and good friend Nameless Warrior,we have shead blood, sweat and tears on this mod with thousands of hours going into it, lots and lots of late nights and lots of coffee.

I would specially like to thank mine and Nameless Warriors families for their patience, understanding and giving us the time to do the mod.
