Fast Travel between Outpost/Colonies?

[harakiri]

Hi,

having played other paradox games i wanted to know if this game has some kind of feature to allow traveling troops between outposts/colonies without having to moving them manually over the map and waiting X turns?

there ARE teleporters unless you turn them off.

However, Teleporters are in fixed sectors and only connect between oneanother, no way to link them all together or connect them in pairs that would actually suit you or build new ones yourself. I find it pretty hard to defend your territory when the AI attacks your cities with 3 armies one turn after declaring war while you have to move your armies 5 turns from a quest to the frontline... yeah =/

Research the fast travel within borders tech and it reduces movement cost by 2 per square. Travelling on road with this tech is pretty darn quick.

Yup. Even enormous maps are not that far given wrap around and this tech. It only takes forever in an unsettled land.

voidtech has a spell to summon an army stack to your capitol city, but that's about it.

most factions/tech have a strategic spell that will add units to combat if it occurs in that colony's domain to compensate a bit.

like voidtech has the echoform domain spell that will randomly copy four units in any combat that occurs on your colony domain.

vanguard summons droids, etc.
