    Avians can use horses on attack?

    They can steal them and use them on attack.

    Is this intended?

    They can test that themselves.

    I can copy Munkbot text if they wish.

    Province was an avian rogue that tested it out. Stole horses, attacked, then lost 5 on an attack.

    Im pretty sure theyve always been able to steal them and use on an attack. They cant build stables and train them, nor house them longer than the tick during which they stole them if i remember correctly

    It should say "build" instead of "use"

    I've heard from a couple people that they don't have that op available to them as an avian.

    They used to be able to, but there was a change that hasn't been overridden to prevent them from having access to Steal Warhorses.

    EDIT: or was it from using what they stole? Either way they can't use them anymore.

    I imagine this is a bug specific to avian/rogue, if it even exists. Sometimes I forget which race I'm playing, it happens.

    Could be that rogue access to all ops overrides the Avian not having it in the coding. So there are 3 avians on the server that could do this..

    He's an avian rogue, so that'd fit.

    They should fix it, even if only 3 people have the option.

    I'd have to agree, the Avian code should prevent war horses from showing up in the "War Room" tab regardless of how many you have. I think it's fine for all avian's to be able to steal horses since it's a possible strategy to lower an enemies offense. But they should not be able to use them to attack.

    I've thought the same thing. Normally you release a certain amount and bring back half of whatever it is, avian should just release all and bring back none.

    So, Last age we had 4 avian Rogues in our kd. All 4 could steal horses because "Rogues" have access to all thievery operations. Non rogue avians could not steal war horses. Once I stole war horses, I could use them on all attacks. IN war I would have many thousand and as long as I stayed army in and out, they remained the same as any prov with horses and no stable.

    My interpretation of the exploit is as per above. All Avians can use war horses(No restriction in the war screen only for a lack of horses), but the limiting factor was that normal avian could not steal them. The rogue personality trait over ruled that sole restriction.
    The game rules for last age and this age read the same. I assume the exploit remains.

    Last age there were 8 on the server. I was interested in using this again, but we went in a different direction. Avian Rogue in was has very good staying power and was a lot of fun It was also a total fluke that we picked up on it. Our goal was to be rogue heavy and being allowed to use war horses a lucky bonus, but also not in keeping with the spirit of Avians. Frankly, I'm surprised to wait this long before seeing anyone post about it.

    From the changes post..

    Penalties
    Cannot Use War Horses/Stables


    From the lobby page..

    Penalties:

    Can't use Stables



    Seems like either a manner of poor communication or poor coding. I recall in the past someone asking about avian being able to use horses and an admin changing the wording to include horses/stables. Problem seems to be that their solution on the coding side was just to make "Steal War Horses" not available to avians. If it's not possible to have Avian not use horses in the coding I would think they would simply change the value on avian horses to 0/0.
