This may have been suggested before, I dunno.

I will be honest with you, I'm a Rohan lover. <3 I feel like horse fighting does not really have much purpose, perhaps a bit in Pvp, but not much whem fighting hordes of orcs. So i thought, why not add a new mechanic to horse riding, where if you charge your horse into mobs, they take damage! (This could also apply to wargs and spiders, I guess, but I like Rohan)

I know this might sound a bit OP, so maybe when the horses deal damage, they also take damage, and horse armor could finally have a use other than decoration! If that is not enough, maybe of the mobs are carrying weapons with longer reach, the rider could also take damage. This mechanic could also be specific to kinds of horses, like just the lotr kind, and also could only be done if the horse wears armor.

I realise that this mechanic might take a load of time to code, but I think it would be seriously cool and worth considering. Im just imagining leading the a group of Rohirrim into battle against a crazy amount of orcs, and watching them fall, just like the movie. What do you think?
