That only partly works - if I want to let players
charge into combat with a lance in order to skewer
their opponents, that works ok, but if they don't
kill their opponent and they start fighting, the
lancer is moved from POS_MOUNTED to POS_FIGHTING
and they can no longer use any mounted only skills
for the duration of the fight.
Which is not what I want.
I want players to be able to fight from horseback.
But with fighting as a position, they are one of the
other and can't be both.
Making fighting a state allows for both (so they'd
be either fighting/standing or fighting/mounted,
as fighting from any other position either leads to
them standing or dying).
Like I said, I could do a POS_MOUNTED_FIGHTING but
then I'd have a lot of fundamentally duplicate code
with POS_FIGHTING.
