Re: The mount marks the man
I think speed is a separate attribute from mass. Mass controls who wins in a collision. Barded horses will send people flying and break through lines easier, where ponies will get tangled up.
Re: The mount marks the man
The 'fast' type uses a few different animations to the stock horse. These allow it to move at a different speed on the battlefield since every cycle of hte animations will move the unit further. Likewise 'heavy' horse animations work the opposite way. This is the only way to control how a units speed is on the battlefield.
Mass is used in collisions, and where a unit uses a 'launching' type melee attack. The heavier the unit, the greater the effect. Human troops always get a value of 1.

Re: The mount marks the man
I think theres 3 speeds that horses go. Fast Pony is the fastest, Heavy/Barbed are the slowest and all other are between them. It becomes evident when you try to catch Kazaks or Turkomans with your Western Knights.
