Merchant Alliance voyages need help.
As soon as you start a voyage, all livestock virtually disappears. However, if you're sailing for either of the other two factions, animals are abundant. Visiting six islands in a row to check for animals and finding nothing is a ridiculous grind. And I'm not even talking about the RIGHT animals. I need red speckled chickens? I MIGHT find one on my 8th or 9th stop. It's too much.
I suggest letting them run alongside other voyages. So while you're following riddles or hunting skeletons, you can keep a weather eye out for the animals that you need and perhaps bring them all back to stable at the same time.
