Rework of mount for lords and heroes in Warhammer 2 total war

Warhammer II

For now, I use only strongest mount option for lords and heroes in campaign. Why should I wast point on basic horse if I can have dragon mount?

Mount needs rework in campaign. I think it will be better if you can buy mount for you lords and heroes after you build specific buldings.

For example:

You can buy basic horse for you lord/hero after you build basic Stables on tier 3.

​

Only special mount should stay in Lord skill tree like Seraphon for Malekith. Also, It will be nice if you can choose specific mount for battle in your campaign.

What do you think about this idea? Do you have better idea?

Since mounts cost upkeep just make all basic mounts available, lock some better ones behind a lvl wall (or building chain if you prefer) if necessary, and make unique mounts quest rewards... none of them should require skill points since, as you pointed out, it’s silly/stupid to waste points on multiple mounts and this mechanic doesn’t seem to positively effect the game at all.

This is the best option and probably the easiest to implement

There should be some advantages and disadvantages to the different mounts. One option would be to take the route of the mod "Carnage in the New World", that gives characters a bodyguard unit in battle like in historical total wars. You could then have a large melee unit, a smaller cavalry unit or something like a dragon but no bodyguards.

This is also part of a bigger problem: Some skill points are worth more than others. Do I want +4 leadership on my lord or double my hit points and damage output with a mount? Tough choice.

Yes, maybe you can make own post about this problem. Some skills are completely useless in game.

I use a mod to respec my points, then I can use early mods and still get the points back

There is an upkeep addition, but I agree it's not enough. Default basic mounts might work, or maybe more equal tier options, at least for LL's. The only Lord I've ever gotten more than 1 mount for is Ikit. Doomflayer/Doomwheel have their ups and downs and you can take what you need to the battle. If they did it more like that itd be alright.
