Human Racial Balance - Con is King?

The strongest mounts with maximum hp will not become the fastest mounts as in MO1.
Henrik mentioned that not all races are able to ride all mounts. So based on "character weight".
At least that's my interpretation what he could mean.
Right, so taking both of these responses together, we may have Khurite and Sarducaan viable for mounted builds due to their small size. If mounted is very restrictive, Kallards, larger Thursar, maybe Sidoian, and Tindremene might be excluded from the fastest mounts. That would be great.
Sards are still too low in int for mounted mage and low in strength for MC or MA, they can be messengers, maybe. Perhaps a super light weight riding anti-fatmage cavalry? That’s a very slight role, but better than nothing I guess.
Sidoian are also tall, but have much less strength, stamina, hit points, damage bonus, and constitution, then Kallards. So, sub-optimal foot. Could be ok as a mounted mage, slightly better for MA and MC than Kallard due to size at the cost of HP.
There’s a lot of diversity “riding” on mounted and mounts, I hope they get it right.

Well I mean .. it's called drawback. Some races might shine in one area, but suck in another. That's a pretty standard way of balancing things while still retaining meaningful and interesting differences that are not *just* numbers.
Not saying it's perfect, but instead of acting stupid, try to argue how they could do it better - without redesigning MO into your own pipe dream.
Ok then no arguments I guess.
Hint: you might have missed the important part of my post (reading comprehension): "meaningful differences that are not *just* numbers" which clearly is SV goal here.
Na man you either babbeled random words, or you are hallucinating. Nobody said that mounts make balancing perfect. And claiming people are brainwashed is a simple, childish provocation.
And we are back to the reading comprehesion.
I´ll make a more expressive for you:
If you look at the current balance that SV spend 15 years coming up with and believe that somehow mounts are going to turn out well balanced you are delusional to the degree that brainwashing seems like a reasonable explaination. If you then put the viability of a subclade squarely on the shoulders of a well executed mount system it´s piling broken things on top of broken things.
