Horses?

Just an idea. But it might be neat if there was a mod that allowed you to ride horses rather than just use wagons. Is that even possible?

Also maybe a mod that allows you to sell to all merchants. Providing they sell that kind of item. i.e. arms and armor to armorers and so forth

Riding horses is possible, but extremely impractical.

I'm considering an experiment with sprites for horseback riding. I mentioned it in another thread, that I started something along those lines a while back.

While impractical, it would certainly be atmospheric and go along with previous Ultima games! Some NPCs such as knights and unique NPCs could ride them as well, as well as humanoid enemies. When I work on the medieval stuff, maybe I'll include that as part of the work. I even thought about drawing a lance, but it would look silly with the "swinging" animation.

It's entirely doable, but would need a lot of sprites and sprite work. If someone wants to contribute such, I would certainly add it to TFL, but at the current time I consider it unfeasible given how much other work I have on my plate :-)

Sprites for this are on my to-do list, but I'm working heavily on S.E., though I'm also working those shields for The Feudal Lands here and there. I have angled versions of the rose shield nearly done.
