horses vs mules

[Mr_Grumpy]

which is better, horses or mules?

or do they each have their specific purpose?

[Ninjafroggie]

horses are for helping traders, mules are for the pack posts that transfer goods between regions

[Cmdr D.]

Horse is for trade post, mule is for pack station.

Trade post is to sell or import resources from the Kingdom. Cost money, or make money with it.

Mule = Pack station: Allows to barter ( trade ) between your own regions. If you have 2 regions, you can trade resources from each other at no cost.

does villagers use horses to transport their goods from hunting camp or wood cutters lodge to general store etc?

no the describted uses above are their only use.
If you have no pack station, no need for mule.
If you use your trading post only with trading routes, no need for horses. The horses are used to bring your trading goods faster to the end of the map (to the blue icons out of the map). If you use a trading route, a wandering merchant comes to your trading post and trade there.

We can agree tho that it's dumbs that they all dont have packs animals to helps them or better gears tho ... i really hope it will be added at one points as in real life every animals where used for everything and not just for one specific things even more when you know for a fact that ressources are precious.

Also feel like a waste of space and investment when the things you put in place exemple mules and ox's are idling all day along has you dont need them constantly (or even those puny hunters and foragers etc ... ) .

you need some mules later on when you have towns in multiple regions, you can specialize the production in each one and then use it to supply the others, but yeah horses are kinda useless rn

How can i remove animals from the Stables?

[9erRed]

Greetings all,
As a note, I'd like to see Mules used at the Stone and Iron mines. Currently looks like the workers are carrying the materials, that's tough.
- If the grainery and warehouse and fully manned those people use hand carts to move materials. But not seeing them go to collect stone or Iron?

build 2 hitching posts, delete the stable with horse, then they will bring the animals to the post, but you can just sell the horse at the livestock trader
