Flexibility and Mobility; How do you raid/teleport without air or strong astral?

[Ironhawk]

The short answer is to diversify your nation before you get to that point. If you know your nation has no long term access to astral you should plan from the start to summon or find mages that can.

That said - if you find yourself stuck in a situation where you just dont have those mages... I'm not sure. Its really like having your hands tied to not have astral or air. The only thing I can think of is Faery Trod and Stygian Paths. The first of which is inaccurate and the second of which is deadly. If you at least had SOME access to air you could forge flying shoes. Then put them on your thugs/SCs and that will give you some good mobility.
