Daisy-chaining cows to a wagon would be a "realistic" method of achieving the same thing. Sounds like a pathfinding biatch though.

I don't see it. Animals need to be moved across rivers and traded. Now they can either walk through the rivers to get to the otherside (like in the 'real world') or go in a boat. Given SWIMMING IS DEATH, having them swim across just seems wrong. It's not like we can wait until low tide or the dry season for the river to dry up before we can move them across. Walking them across super-grids, well that will destroy trading (it'll be fun for all of the first day before you realise you have another 3 real-time days to get to Brodgar oh yeah and you can't cross rivers anyway so you're still fucked) and again seems pointless given the unreality of...

... insta-magic porting everywhere. I don't see the issue of putting them in a cart or boat:

I think the reality of the game can handle lifting animals and putting them in transport vehicles.

It's either that or I want me one of these. :D

boats, yes, carts no. Why not just make them teleportable.
