Horses

Horses are the main way of transport. In the game, you have many species of these animals. They differ from each other with vitality and speed. Each horse has its own endurance bar, that will raise when you will be using your horse for a longer time.

When you will press button A faster, your horse will change from tarsus to trot or gallop. In addition, remember that riding on off roads will fatigue your horse faster. If you are riding with someone press button A to change your speed and adapt it to your companion.

You can summon your horde wherever you want. Just press up (D-pad). If your horse is dead you will have to wait for some time for a new "friend".

You can always steel somebody's horse (after completing one quest you won't be given a penalty for doing that), tame it or buy in the shop (first you have to tame a horse from each race to make it available in the store).

Coach/Carts/Stagecoaches will allow you to travel faster. Unfortunately you have to pay for it (until you will complete a proper quest). Coach is very fast and they have a possibility to skip the journey.

Train is a free form of transport. Bad thing is that you cannot skip the journey here. Then next disadvantage is that there is only one train in whole country and you have to wait for it quite long.

Fast journey is available only when you will establish a fire camp. Remember that you cannot place fire camps near water, gang hideouts, towns, mountains, while doing missions and so on. Fast journey is completely free.
