Cloud Trapeze & commanded troops
 

When a mage casts cloud trapeze, does his/her commanded troops follow?

Do they die?

Or, do they just remain in the starting province?

Thnx in advance...

No, they remain in the province the commander trapezed from.

If you want to move the army with the commander (just the troops under the command of the mage casting the ritual, ie the other commanders and troops under their command will not follow), you have to cast one of the following:

- Faery Trod (to forest provinces only, if there are forest provinces next to the target forest, the commander may get lost and end up in wrong forest)
- Stygian Paths (you may lose troops (or the commander) and/or gain afflictions on the way)
- Gateway (to a province with a controlled laboratory)
- Astral travel (the only sure fire thing to get your army where you want to get it)

Astral travel can also be accessed via the Gatestone artifact with 6E6S forging path, allowing it's wielder to cast astral travel for free every turn and not requiring a lab, it's the ultimate logistical boon and considered one of the top artifacts in the game.
