i've got a partial solution that could be used to solve those problems. i'd 
have to add a direction field to the instance parameter of units and define 
values for it.

the basic idea is that each mode of transportation is encapsulated in a class 
with a goto() method. you specify where you want to go and the class 
implements the moves across the map.

the only thing this doesn't do is offer a specialized interface for selecting 
"meta locations" like "this location i planted magically". i guess that could 
translate to "this city". maybe i should change the interface to allow 
movement to a set object (e.g. city, waypoint, etc).

would this teleportation be an additional mode of transportation? or the 
default for units supporting it?
