OrLoK 16185 Posted January 26, 2013 Hello thereHorses come up as a subject here quite often.In "reality" they would be very uncommon (ratio per player) and take a lot of time investment to keep healthy, so In the days "universe" I personally don't think they fit.Most likely they'd end up in Burgers for survivors.L 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lvg 1690 Posted January 26, 2013 i think they fit into the dayz universe better than mechanical vehicles.Horses are animals, they only need food and water to keep 'running' whereas vehicles need parts, oil, water, brake fluid, fuel and expertise to keep them running.Also horses breed providing a never ending supply of other horses to replenish those that die, after an apocalypse there ain't gonna be no car factories churning out new models.Horses do breed but they don't just simply pop out full size and ready to ride, especially if you're aiming at realism you wouldn't just simply be able to go through a saddle on one and ride it as they're untamed and would play up and run off at the first chance they got.As for cars Chernarus has a city meaning people lived there in most places there'd be a huge amount of vehicles to take after the world was infected and a huge amount of places you could get things that cars need such as oil etc. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

OrLoK 16185 Posted January 26, 2013 (edited) Neither do cows or sheep or pigs, my point is in a post apocalyptic world there will come a day when there are millions of functioning horses and no functioning vehiclesMillions of wild bitey horses that don't like people.It's not in everyone's repertiore to be a horse trainer and wild horses are BIG scary things. Tame horses can be scary and bitey for that matter.L Edited January 26, 2013 by orlok too many spaces! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

beatSTV 631 Posted January 26, 2013 i think they should be similar to cows and goats etc roaming around the wilderness but a lot rarer, you should also have to have a saddle equiped - like a vehicle part that is destroyed as soon as you use it, once the saddle has been attached to the horse you can use it like a car, they could run on horse feed (similar to petrol to make sure they dont die) they should also be incredibally weak one shot and they should be down and also offer no protection to the rider.
