Mounts are too rare

from Elemental Forums

I have played through multiple full games without ever seeing a resource node for horses or wargs, or seeing them available for trade from other factions.  I think that they should be somewhat rare; it would be wrong to be swimming in mounts and able to make every single unit mounted.  But it's frustrating to go an entire game without finding them anywhere on the map.  Maybe one of the orange "find new resources" techs could guarantee that 1 faction-appropriate mount resource node show up in or near your territory?

My last game I had a surplus of some 200 horses.  I had every trooper on a horse.

My problem with the way mounts are implemented is that they don't really change tactical combat very much.  Would love it if there were some way to charge with mounted units.

One game you have four of them right next to you, the next you span half the map before tripping over one...

My small map games seem to always have horses available.... FWIW

I usually buy horses through trading with other factions. It's one of the cheaper resources to obtain through trade.

Last game No one had horses, Me or AI, anywhere on the map. However 1 AI faction had 7 Worg Dens. I took over a few of their cities and eventually I had Knights mounted of worgs on my kingdom faction...

Hmm, I've noticed that too. Sometimes, I'll get maps that spawns nothing but wrags, and sometimes I get maps that spawns all horses.

Would Like to see Every faction with a base mount... Such as Horses/Wrags  That  you get after researching Animal Breading  You get the stables/Dens like the mod..        Would then like to see the Random Resorce produce a better version -- Such as Heavy War Horse,  War Wrag...    Ext...    And Mistical mounts would be nice... Some Flying mounts Please ...

My last game on a large map i only saw one Horse node and 3 Worg Dens. I don't think we need a Mod for this City Stables tile should be a game options when we build up our towns. It be nice to have this added to a future patch
