Editing Mounts (section)

==How mounts work==
Mounts usually increase/change the statistics of a character unit. In some cases, they may confer new abilities to the unit (such as [[Dragon]] mounts which confer breath attack abilities).

A character's unit description will change to reflect their mount. For instance a [[Grey Seer]] mounted on a [[Screaming Bell]] will be listed as a war-machine instead of infantry. A Bretonnian [[Paladin]] mounted on a [[Barded Warhorse]] will be listed as a [[cavalry]] unit rather than infantry.

In the [[campaign]], many characters can unlock mounts in their [[Skills|Skill Tree]], as they rank up. Mounts can be assigned to characters on the character info screen along with [[items]], [[followers]] and such.  Changing mounts will change the character's upkeep cost, so it may occasionally be beneficial to dismount a hero or use a lower tier mount to save cost.  This can be especially true for heroes being used independently on the campaign map who will not be used much in battles.  Some mounts can make a hero much easier targets for ranged damage, especially larger/slower mounts like dinosaurs or dragons.  While these mounts may often be the best for overall fighting power, the player may consider using lower tier mounts for specialized purposes.  For example, a spellcaster who will fly over the enemy army and cast magic down on them might consider a darksteed instead of a dragon since they will likely draw enemy ranged fire.

As of ''[[Total War: Warhammer III]]'', Mounts are still tied to a character's skill tree, but no longer require the player to spend skill points to unlock them. Instead, once a character gets to a skill level tied to a certain mount, that mount will unlock automatically.

In online matchmaking [[multiplayer]] and [[custom battles]], mounts can be selected for an extra cost.
