Horses

[Saxguy]

Since gas isn't infinite it would be nice to have another option for travel in the late game besides walking.  A horse would be something the player would have to protect and take care of.  The player could find them early in the game at farms already tamed and later into the game in the wild needing to be tamed. 

 

Zombies and horses

  -The horse can be bogged down by zombies similarly to a car or even completely stopped. 

  -The horse can trip over the zombies hurting both the horse and player

  -Mounted combat could work with one handed weapons only since you'll need one hand to control the horse. 

  -the horse has a chance to become scared and rear back knocking the player off and running away from danger

 

Horses and the Player 

 

-Riding/ animal handling skill maybe

-The player can ride the horse with or without a saddle (without it over time the player will be in pain as well as the horse)

-The player will have to find or craft shoes for the horse and refit them every 6-8 months 

-The player will need to feed, shelter and clean the horse or risk it becoming ill form wither the weather or dirtiness (similar to how a player can get sick just with a better immune system than a player) 

 

Pros to having a horse

-alternate way of travel

-much faster than walking 

-doesn't require gas

 

Cons

-horse can't carry as much as a car

-needs more maintenance and protected form zombies

-needs shoes

-very easily hurt/killed by zombies or other players

-gets tired

-gets scared

-can knock the player off

-can run away

 

Things I think may be hard on the devs

I would literally be shocked if Horses didn't get added to the game

 

You do know where they run the Kentucky Derby, right?

 

They have horse jockey costumes and horse stables everywhere on the map, it is almost certainly in the cards.

Horses are part of animal NPC pack after patch 42. If not added stright away they sure be latter as that patch will be huge.

As of update 42, horses can be found among the animal NPCs. They will likely be introduced later because that patch is going to be so big.

I have to say that horses would be a big fancy stuff in early game but i have to disagree with you or mind things you dont mind
So
Horse would be vulnerable only if sleeping
(i have horse, this animal weight over 800 kilo and if it punch u even light you have very high risk of having broken bones so whateverhorse charge, it will be unstopable only by big horde)

Horses need to eat and drink too (you dont mentioned it)

Horses would eat vegetables and sometimes sugar you give them and just grass (its their main diet, but sometimes it is not enough)

Charge abality

Horse if running in fast speed when you have a crafted spear with knife or smt you can one tap zombies but it will reqire a high level of riding and good condition you and your horse.
As well devs can add a multiple horse bread that will give other effects

And finnally one more class that will be pointed at horses (horseman, medival battles reconstructor?)

I think its ebough

I'd be truly shocked if Horses weren't added to the game

The option to ride with or without a saddle, albeit with consequences for the player's comfort.

As opposed to figuratively or metaphorically shocked, of course!
