Wandering Indy Commander

I accidentally discovered that if you issue the "Boots of the Planes" to a modded indy commander - s)he may "wander" every once in a while.

At least, that's the best explanation I have for why, in a test game, an indy commander with the boots showed up where he wasn't supposed to...

I think just wearing the boots can cause any unit to be pulled into the void astral planes, at which point the commander/mage will eventually be released somewhere on the map.

What was the province number where the indy commander appeared?

From my Antilarium map (an unreleased version I'm still debugging/ balancing), started in province 51, showed up in province 182. Why, trying to determine if it was random? I think it is a fun quirk I'm going to take advantage of.

I think it's hard to take advantage from it

Really awesome discovery. GJ

you could just set them randomly on maps for fun... or let about 100 seraphs with the boots start somewhere and see what happens

Last three games I've been noticing when a commander, mage or SC returns from the astral void gate it always lands in one specific province.

So you might want to further test this scenario.
