Age of Conan: Interview @ RPG Vault

RPG Vault has a 5-page interview with Funcom's Gaute Godager on their hybrid single-player/MMO 'Age of Conan'. Here's a grab on mounted combat:
Jonric: In addition to the things you've just mentioned, what else are you doing to differentiate your combat experience?

Gaute Godager: Another type of differentiation is that we have formation and mounted combat. In Conan, mounts of different types can be used in battle to fight for a distinct advantage. The speed of your mount, what mount you have and how you hold your weapon help define the amount of damage you do, and if you hit. This is one form of tactical combat advantage you can gain.

The second is that of formations. You can place other players or NPCs in your formation. This will enable you to protect the vulnerable characters on your team since the formation offers a natural collision box against monsters or other players. The formations can also be used to gain special attacks and bonuses to be used against other formations in a paper, scissors, rock-type approach.
