Oxes,Horses Question!

[InquisitorOverhauls]

Hey guys! So I dont understand one thing, how do oxes and horses work exactly? I bought a horse and no one used it. Also do they need to have a family assigned or workers will automatically use it?

Could someone write all you can do with oxes and horses?

As far as I understand/experienced:

Oxes are used to transport logs, and if unlocked, they can help with farming.

Horses are used for trading posts for trading with parties outside your regions.

Donkeys are used for packstations for trading with your own regions.

So far horses only seem to have one use, that's allocating to the the trading depot. Ox can be allocated to buildings such as farms, log farms, saw pits and a few of the industrial/mining type buildings such as the stone pit etc. Also, keep one of the ox at your hitching post/small stable, unallocated as this will be used automatically for construction (dragging logs).

Thanks!

So if I want faster construction etc I can buy more oxes and keep them at Hitching post?

No problem. I believe so. In theory. If you have two unassigned oxen, then two unassigned families who are working construction, then it would figure that each would utilise an ox each, respectively, for their work.
