another Mount idea (from chat)

[almordre]

People keep bringing up mounts, and making them more a part of the game. Since the higher mounts are the most expensive purchases for a single character, it'd be nice to get a little more return for them. what if a war horse gave you a small dmg boost and two tali slots, just like another piece of equipment? a regular horse gets just the two tali slots, and the mount below that maybe one tali slot (if that's codeable)? The lower mounts could be set up like weaves, with no talis allowed. You could go a little farther and apply various small stat boosts to the lower mounts, and ramp up from there, but personally, I'd limit tali slots to the top 2.

[/crazy talk] ;D

probably crossing from coding challenges to coding nightmares here, but - if your mount comes "unfed" then you lose the tali/stat boosts until you feed the poor beast...

And if you go too long without feeding them, they DIE!

Then you have to buy a new one.
