Yes. I agree with the regular in-city travel.

However, I believe there would still be a Cavalry. Mechanized Cavalry didn't really get going til the second World War and even then, there were some countries using horses.

Railcars, coaches, and other motorized vehicles in Dishnored do not appear to be built as well as tanks are for off road action and would more than likely quickly fall apart.

Therefore, I believe there is still an equestrian-based military force out there. Granted the Isles aren't that big and most cities and towns SEEM to be coastal, but I could still see a use for them.
