[Tolkien]

Yes, Cloud Trapeze only teleports the mage, and Faery Trod will teleport both the mage and the army. Cloud Trapeze is a great teleport spell for air nations, and a great substitute for teleport (the astral spell).

I believe the chances of getting "lost" in Faery Trod are fairly small (though please, don't take my word for it); however, compare that with a number of the other army-teleportation spells: Stygian Paths, Astral Travel, and Gateway. Gateway is like Faery Trod in that it will only teleport to certain locations (i.e. provinces with friendly labs), Astral Travel is damned expensive (25 pearls), and Thaum-9, and Stygian Paths is also significantly more expensive then Faery Trod (15 death gems), is at Thaum-8, and your army will get attacked along the way. Faery Trod thus is a great spell if you are moving an army to a forest province, and have the gems to do it.
