Teleport pads? You mean golems?
You craft golems in the library, then after amassing five of them, you use them to upgrade your production.
No in the same place you craft golems from refined mana crystal, you can also craft telaport pads from mana steel
Oh, those. You can't do anything with them yet except sell them for cash, later on in the game, the plan is to use them to connect your kingdoms vital strategic locations together, and even launch a few invasions. Not in game yet though. :)
sounds epic, cant wait : )
