Forums / Questions and Answers / question about teleport

Uhh, why does teleport not work on an army with 22k troops?  The message screen told me it was too large to teleport.  Well should it not say this before I cast the spell, kind of unfair considering I lost 25k mages to death alone doing this.

Teleport moves the target to a random X and Y coordinate. About 1/2 of the map is covered by closed terrain (Mountains, forests, water, ect), and thus armies cannot be teleported onto these locations. Cities cannot be teleported onto other cities or closed terrain, so you will probably never successfully teleport a city. You can teleport armies, although it will take a few successful casts to do so.

you may also teleport an enemy army into your core.... It is a dangerous spell to cast at best.
