Cavalry should have a "come here/follow me" button for horses.
I always thought there was something missing with the horses in this game, the way they stand completely still and lifeless. And so to make them more interesting, I think I have come up with a neat idea.
If you see a horse across the way, at a certain distance, you can press the spot button, your character puts his hand to his lips and whistles, if possible, dice ;), the horse now has an indicator of some sort above it and is now an AI-controlled bot, runs to you and will then follow you wherever you go. And this horse is "yours" and no one else can spot it. They may get on your horse and take it but that already happens today of course. And to undo this, simply press the spot button again, your character might stick out his hand and say, "stay", the horse stays put, the indicator goes away, it is now "neutral" and anyone can claim it once more. One horse at a time, and this would work with any horse, not just the one you spawned in on.
Now at first I thought this would be nice for any player to have, but then I thought that might be too disorderly with so many people being able to "claim" a horse that not everyone would get to try it. So I thought maybe this would work better as a cavalry-only tool. And making it exclusive for the cavalry, which is a class I already enjoy a lot, would not only make him and horses more interesting, it would give him that extra bit that makes the tanker and pilot unique. This way the cavalry won't lose sight of "his" horse. Also it would just be sick to jump on the horse as it sprints past you like a western. So yeah there is my idea.
