Actually, for a high-research, high-path spell, stygian paths seems a bit too risky.
Yes, doesn't seem usefull too often, but might be your best/only option compared to the other army transporting spells:

For offensive army dropping:
  • Faery Trod! Only ench5, Nature5, 20 gems. Only forest to forest. Sometimes lands in the *wrong* forest, which would have the enemy god you were trying to attack laughing his pants off.
  • Stygian paths, Thaum8, D5, only 15 gems. But a non-stealthty low-mr low-hp army might die horribly.
  • Astral travel, Thaum9, S5, 25 gems. No limitations.

For transport within you empire there is:
Gateway, thaum5, Astral4, 10 gems. Only to friendly labs so doesn't compete with stygian paths.

The gateway spell does work and does not appear to be bugged.

That's a good point. I guess if you don't have astral 5 mages it might be the best option. I don't think I'll bother in SP though.

So it just doesn't work with national troops/commanders?
Does the object work with summoned mages/commanders?

okay, I've been trying to re-create the conditions and it just aint working. Sometimes I can get it to work - but in this last game, it wouldn't work, even for indy commanders.

In my last game as agartha on the dawn, it seems it was dependent on the province. I never was able to use the stone from my capital (cave) or directly around it, but could use it from other locations both with summoned and nation sages.

I've tried it with a summoned air queen and no luck. I wasn't near my capital. Although everytime I have tried it was from in a province with a fort. Would that matter?
