transports/ newbie support

[brainonbrad]

Is there any reason as to why I can't seem to buy transports? ie. transports do not show on my purchase list. :confused:

[Dr.No]

in order to use transport(s) your unit(s) has (have) to be next to an port - right click and choose "transport" - they are no seperate units.

to move land and air units over far distances at high speed right click on the unit and choose "operate"
well iam tired so i'll just quote from the manual
6
OPERATIONAL MOVEMENT

An operational movement for land units consists of rapid transfers via rail or other land
transport from a unit’s current position to any valid city or fortification. Valid
destinations include only those from which an unbroken path of friendly land hexes can
be followed from the selected unit to final destination. Thus, land units cannot be
operationally moved over water and not while trapped somewhere behind enemy lines.
Other restrictions include sufficient MPP to pay for the operational movement (10% of
units current production cost), the unit’s supply value must be >= 5, and the destination
city or fortification must have an operational efficiency of >= 50% as well.(and because iam a little bit lazy :D )
