Re: Wish-List for Dominions 4
Special repulsion rules for mounted units.
Mounted units should have a mount-rating, which determines how many resource points they pay to be mounted.
When a mounted unit has to check for repulsion by a smaller unit, special rules apply:
* The mounted unit uses the mount rating instead of Defense.
* The mounted unit suffers full damage from the hit if it is struck.
* The mounted unit uses mount rating instead of Morale to see if it gets to attack anyway.
This would mean that pikemen (better reach than a lance) would actually be able to hold against cavalry charges.
Spearmen would be able to withstand cavalry charges with swords or other short weapons in the early era, but be foiled by lances.
We'd also no longer have to kludge in extra resource points for heavy cavalry - it'd be built into the rating of the mount.
Suggested mod syntax:
#mounted <mount rating>
