I would think that unicorns would charge in with their horns only out of desperation, as you would almost have to stare at the ground to do it. I would think even if you did make solid contact with you opponent, you could really mess your neck or back up from such a high impact. Two ponies charging at each other would almost certain kill both of them from the sheer force of it, let alone a horn through the eye or mouth. Hmm. All contact sports have a semblance of violence in them and I really do concede that tilting has martial origin. However, the entire process of the joust has a lot of ceremony and can be relatively safe if both tilters (almost said riders) know what they're doing. I would think Equestrian jousting would be even safer by cutting out the uncertainty of the mount, both knights are in complete control of what's happening. I would think the primary weapon for the REA would be the lance, it would almost seem odd to not have every soldier equipped at least with a light lance to at counter charge other advancing or flanking formations if you can. This would lead to opponents to use something akin to a phalanx to prevent the almost certainty of an Equestrian charge, which I would think would be countered by cataphracts with heavy javalins or heavy maces to break their spears.

ARGH! I wanna post on the big boy boards! Consider this my resignation intro board!

Thank you! A lot of the posts I don't have access to yet, so I'll look at that when I've verified. Also, I've look at the OC creation guide, and the species list isn't coming up for me. Is there a better link or another guide that has the full list?

About myself.: 25, Male, American. How did you hear about Canterlot.com?: derpyhooves.com How did you became a fan of FiM?: /b/ My one favourite main cast pony?: Miss Rarity I want to see how this compares to ponychan so I signed up. I'm kind of worried this is going to be even more insular than ponychan. Has there ever been any user data compiled on canterlot.com, I always find statistics on bronies to be interesting. edit: I accidentally the title
