I’ve played a few days now with a rhino mount, testing what it can do, how is useable, it’s pros and cons, my thoughts are:
firstly, the first thing I tried was putting a saddle on a Turanian rhino, this doesn’t work, this makes sense, but then I can have 2 rhinos, that made me question why the rhino mount doesn’t fight, all the animations are there, it’s not a horse, it’s much slower tankier and bigger, it should be able to defend itself
secondly, the useable weapons, it’s lacking the versatility of the horse, I can’t use any one handed weapon that I know of, as such if I want to use a torch I can only use the rhinos horn to attack, I think allowing javalin use on rhinos and horses would be a good rectification to this
thirdly, since you can have a mount and a follower, the follower has a harder time keeping up, my thoughts on this are, if you have a human follower, they should be able to mount a rhino or horse with you, via a new saddle, chariot, it similar, thralls with bows or javalins could use them to assist since this is clearly not a mobility based mount
Lastly, they get stuck on rocks far to easily, it’s a rhino, the simplest fix would be to allow it to go over smaller rocks easily, but in my opinion a better option would be, 1.change the charge to function like horses, sprinting itself is the attack, 2. Allow the rhino sprint to break rocks trees plants and similar
Thank you for taking the time to read my feedback and suggestions
