*mounts a howler*

Mounts are a bad Idea for orc pvp/rp. we as orcs set up traps and ambushes, we fight together as a unit , and rely on eachother for crossheals and krimps. Mounts tend to spread us out making crosshealing and krimping almost impossible. they encourage chasing humans leading to orcs getting lured into groups/guards and separating us during combat. its very easy to get lost from the group and makes it very hard for grunts to keep lower ranking/inexperienced orcs in line. IMO mounts are most useful for mage tactics and less effective for dexxers which will pretty much eliminate our trademark fighting style.

even though bolas are not in game i believe we can still stand a chance by ambushing players, using stool krimps, krimp and clomping, and archery. we have done so on many shards and i dont see a reason why these tactics wont work here.

rp wise they would make good pets and rp props. but mounting them would take away from what we are in my opinion.

I disagree, having a small number of mounted troops has been proven very effective on our raids. The Undead were the ones to usually fill this role though. It's a bad idea having everyone mounted, but a select group that can ride mounts for certain raid spots would be cash yo. I know orc roleplaying is usually steeped in rigid tradition, but as the game changes, sometimes you have to adapt with new tactics or become redundant. It's not really that big of an issue for me and I would support the use of combat mounted orcs albeit in small number. They would make great pets to train and let loose on ommies too.

Also no bolas and no heat of battle? what kind of trammie shard is this :/
