📋 About This Mod
Mod Description
I was disappointed with cavalries charge damage in this game so I change it so most horse received higher charge value and cavalries charge should now feel a bit more rewarding. This works well with follow command and have your cavalries follow you and trample everything in their path.
Also horses especially belong to lower tier cavalries tends to die too fast from missile attacks so I add a slight increase in horse hitpoint and increase armour for lower tier harness(most high tier one remain unchanged).
Noted that this will also make horses more expensive with how Bannerlord calculate equipment price according to their stats. But this should balance out the cost to upgrade them vs stronger troop as to not make cavalries easy to obtain.
Installation
Choose only one version
Optional version movement improvement version (faster horse acceleration and less speed lose during turning)
Optional version Expensive horse to make cavalries more costly to upgrade. Infantry were inferior in almost every way to cavalry so now they are once again viable as cheaper troops type.

Compatibilities
This mod should work with any mod that does not modified the horses and horse harness in spitems.xml file
Recommended Mod
Custom Damage - Highly recommended A great mod that allows customization of armour damage absorption for individual type of damage similar to how you can do it in Warband. Now you can customize so pierce and blunt damage are not as OP against heavily armored units. You can even adjust overall armour absorption rate so
its easy to make fight last longer.
Keehu's Horses slow down when injured - Work like the mod name said (configurable through xml) in case you want some immersion for horses.
Horse Call - Call Your Horse - Let you call your horse to your location.
Xorberax's Cut Through Everyone - Highly recommended this mod give a much better experience to cavalries gameplay. Now your cavalries absolutely cut through squishy units while became much more vulnerable to spears and two-hander units since they now attack both horse and horseman in one swing.
Xorberax's Deadly Horse Cha
Horse Rebalance tweaks horses and camels to make their charges more devastating, boosts low-mid tier harness armor, and slightly increases hitpoints for most horses so they can take more punishment. It's a gameplay overhaul for players who want mounted combat to feel more impactful and durable.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Charges hit harder, so trampling enemies actually feels brutal
- Low-mid tier harness gets a buff, making early game mounts more viable
- Horses survive more hits, so you're not constantly replacing your mount
⚠️ Cons
- Only touches low-mid tier harness, so high-end gear stays the same
- Hitpoint boost is slight, so horses still won't tank heavy hits
- Last updated in 2020, so it might not work with the latest game version
This is for cavalry-focused players who want mounted combat to feel more powerful and less fragile. It's also great for those who enjoy overhauling gameplay to make horses more useful in battle.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Try charging into groups of infantry to see the new devastating effect
- Pair this with a build that uses lances or spears to maximize charge damage
- If you're on a newer game version, check for compatibility patches before installing
