Quick travel - riding horses

[Daniel Shays]

To shift colonists between settlements I always turn them into scouts for quicker movement. If muskets are needed at destination they can ride as dragoons. You have to have space for the horses though and want to bring them back to your coastal immigration port or education centre though.

Also, to economize on ship space it is often useful to make your colonists scouts, soldiers or dragoons in Europe.

They are also useful for sending colonists to Indian villages for training, and go even quicker if you put Marquette into Congress (+1 movement for scouts).
