3) How do you guys move troops to the front when you have a large empire? I have troops that are capitol only, so I still use my capitol as a recruiting zone. I am fighting a war on two fronts, and it is about half way inbetween both fronts. But...it still takes forever to get them to either front. Also, I had to pull resources from one front to the other, and that took forever....I had to basically hold out till relief from the western front arrived. I am wondering if there is a more efficent way than hoofing it.
4) I am able to pretty much summon anything at this point in the game, except blood stuff. What do you guys tend to rely upon in the various schools?

These two tie together : on a large map, having troops walk is impractical, but there's two magic paths that can move armies : astral and nature. (In theory, 3 paths, but the death spell is bugridden and essentially kills the army.)
So : if your national mages can't get high enough in nature or astral, get yourself an Ether Lord or Couatl for Gateway-ing troops, or a couatl, ivy king, lamia queen, or tree lord to move troops via Faery Trod. Gateway is limitted to travel to friendly controlled labs, Faery Trod is limitted to forest-to-forest travel, but if the game goes on long enough, Thaumaturgy-9 has Astral Travel, with no restrictions. Also : The GateStone gives free Astral Travel at const-8, if you get it.
