mounts

[Carrot Carl]

Are the mounts just an accessory to quickly zip around the map and carry loads, or can you also fight with them (e.g. panthers)?
I'm asking because the panther's detailed view says that it has attack and defense values... but my panther doesn't fight or defend itself when it's attacked.

[Deez Nuts]

Currently , mounts are used only for transportation.

[Carrot Carl]

Ok, thanks for the information.

[Sturmlied]

The defense value is if its getting attacked randomly!

[Carrot Carl]

Ok, then I know that.

So far Alpaca is great starter mount but can be chased down by jaguars, jaguar seems to be the best mount and can outrun everything and jump highest and best hands down, llama is awful because it cant jump or maybe I need to try another saddle but this is devastating, the llama does have high hp and high stam but not being able to jump idk maybe im missing something else it does? Can it fall and take no damage or something? I ve literally gotten stuck in cracks in the floor

I avoid using the llama as much as possible. They are zero fun to ride. They are slower than everything else. They are bigger and slower to turn. They can not jump. The only time I use them is to carry tribesmen or animals. Once my base was set up and I have decent tribesmen to work with and level for now... I stopped using them. As I get farther in the game and eventually try to go for the best tribesman, I might use them again... but now they just stand around and eat food all day, every day.

Then don't try and jump with it?
I've gone clear across the map 3000+ m with the llama several times and never even nearly got stuck on anything. Go around or dismount and climb over/down.
If you are just exploring or doing small trips the panther is perfect. The llama is more for doing resource runs or taming runs because it has 1500 carry weight and can transport barbarians and animals.
