Okay i already suggested this idea but not any in a detailed account so i am going to make it again. Some people said that "this was out of game"and others "that we are stranded on a planet with no resources" so i have altered the story. Please read the account below.

What are these horses?

They were creatures on which the nobles of almire rode into battle. After the kingdom fell many people thought these creatures were extinct. But recently some unknown source tells that the gremlins of the colony have some how found some of these extinct creatures and are trying to research on them. The HQ wants you to stop these researches and if possible find some of these creatures.

How can i find one?

A new mission will be made to do this.

What can i do with these horses?

I was thinking of a new PVP guild called "jousting" (the game played by ancient knights in britan). Here is a link to the wikipedia page about it :-

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jousting

And some new kind of theme in which you have to race through a level and kill as many monsters as possible.

Are there some different kind of types of these horses?

Yes, I have decided there will be 3 main types and many small types. Here are these types

1 Robotic horses:- These horses are made by gremlins they pack a punch but don't have enough speed as their natural rivals.
2 Natural horses:- These are the descendants of the horses on which the great nobles of almire rode. They have speed but do a little less damage.
3 Hybrid horses:- Horses whose origins are unknown some say that the gremlins killed half of these and made other half robotic while some say that these were the horses who died and were recreated using the most evil technology. They are mediocre but you can rely on it.

How will these attack?
Well they will breath out some kind of fire or thing. I don't know lets developers decide it.

I hope this idea is taken into development and anyway if someone has an idea which can be added to this post it i would love to hear it. And pyshcodestroyer please for once agree with me.

Can we actually critique someone's work properly.

......

are these a mob?

If so, you HAVE to explain their attacks, where they spawn, the mission itself, Just look at several boss ideas.

Then, jousting would not be really usefull as, we have Strikers(who are equal to Calvary) and could have a PvP similar to this.

And explain how that PVP works! Seriously! This is half arsed.

Where is that Hunter the hunted thing that guy made!

Just saying.

So... you want to bring to spiral knights, card games on motorcycles? but with horses?

How about NO? we dont need such useless features in the game, WE NEED REAL CONTENT

-1 to your idea.

He didn't say we would play card games. I mean I don't agree with this thread but your comparison seems invalid to me.

Negative one to your comment and negative one to this thread.

Good idea, horrible implementation.

Once you've got a better way to implement mounted combat into the game, come speak to us again.

Also the comments above are terrible, if it's really that bad just ignore him ...

If -1 and no are insults then horrible implementation is an insult cause saying that someone created a thread that was horribly implemented seems more harmful then an integer below zero and the letters N and O.

Three Rings says that disagreement was fine. I didn't make any lengthy informational detrimental post on this thread; I simply just left it at a negative one.

whats wrong with normal combat? why do we need mounted combat? and if we had mounted combat, we would have to change the whole game to balance it out

Horses... in a game that

Horses... in a game that focuses on small passage ways and multiple traps, as opposed to large, open battlefields... exactly when do we get to use our horses? Can we mount/unmount them? How does the current combat system fit into mounted combat? If unmounted, I assume they fight on their own. Doesn't this make them big versions of the dragon battle sprite that's coming?

Orrrrr...

Are the horses against you?
If so, why? (we save them from the gremlins! How do they repay us?! They stomp on our heads).

Oh, as it stands, horses don't really have a place in SK (jousting sounds pretty cool.. maybe change that to just having to kill a certain number of mobs throughout a course?).

Ok fine i agree using them in

Ok fine i agree using them in combat would be .... giving an invitation to death so at least we can install a PVP game. That sounds legit. And by the way what is the point of having horses. Okay everyone open your history books :-
After humans were created they started to domesticate animals for different uses. First came dogs (or at least what they were back then) and then god know what else so after sometime the humans found a need for speed then they started to make bullock carts etc. And today we have got machines which can go up to 500kms/hr or more. So why not such a advanced civilization will have at least one kind of transportation that makes them go faster ? If there aren't any horses they will have at least some kind of car or thingie. Now people will say they skylark crashed and we lost all are tech then look at the battle sprite page by nick. Here is a link for people who are to lazy :-

http://forums.spiralknights.com/en/node/72304 and see the "Some background" section if they could survive there will be something which must have survived and increased speed. Oh and has anyone see physcodestroyer he is always commenting on my stuff not this time and specially mentioned him. And please i am not a developer what the heck i can't even use java so please wait for sometime to get a detailed outlet. And if any of you have some idea please post it. ;)

Spiral knights use machines

Spiral knights use machines to travel around the planet.

Clockworks is too small to be travelled by knight's big machines.

@Fleet-Miss-Gun the elevators aren't even a transport and nor made by us. I have left the idea of using them in combat against monsters but they shall be used is PvP.
