Please stop auto-equipping of mounts

[DaMarkiM]

Mounts are now automatically unlocked if you reach the respective level.
So far so good.
What isnt good is that unlocked mounts get immediately auto-equipped.

Please give us an option to turn this off. This is incredibly irritating, especially for factions with a lot of heroes.

Agree

+1000%

[The Hat]

Yes. I prefer foot melee lords, mounts can sometimes make them worse, until the later mounts are unlocked.

[Eldi]

Dito, an option in settings would be good.

[El Sid-James]

You can manually select the mount you want on the Details page for each character. A bit hidden but it is there.

I think the reasoning is that, for the players that don't notice that a new mount has been unlocked, it's generally better to have a mount than not have one. There are definitely reasons to go footslogging (better animations, less vulnerability to ranged and anti-large), but in MOST cases mounts are an upgrade.

+1, would be helpful

[LoveTruffle]

Yes, auto equipped mounts is super annoying.

Look on the bright side, at least you don't get a skill point deducted for it. 🤡

true, but it's still annoying you have to do it with every single character.
Should just be an option to turn it off by default.

it is nice, but it doesn't hurt to make an option to turn it off.
Options are never bad.

It's not a huge deal but I would prefer to just get the notification the mount is unlocked and not have it be auto-equipped.

thats nothing new. The issue is that you have to repeat this process every time someone levels up. Isabella for example will have an arm with 8-12 heroes early on. Each unlocking two mounts. So you have to set it back over 20 times in the span of 15 minutes.

There are equally as many opportunities where having a mount can screw you over.
ESPECIALLY for flying mounts which get absolutely screwed over against certain factions and sieges.
Also all horse mounts are generally crap unless you have them on a caster.
I agree the big monstrous mounts and chariots are generally superior to being on foot for those that can unlock them.

Not picking a mount you unlocked may cost you some combat potential.
But accidentally and unwittingly bringing the wrong mount can literally cost you the hero/lord.
